What Are Your Usual Bushcraft Activities?

Recent activities?

Well, yesterday I spent a couple hours hiking down into the pasture to pull a footbridge off of the creek - before the creek rises and washes it away. It's only a matter of a day or three before the creek floods. We've had several days of above freezing temps accompanied by drizzle/rain. So all that snow/ice is melting, and will soon get down to the creek to ... add to it's flow. So I had to pull the one footbridge. The other big one I have cabled to a large willow tree. It may get pushed out of place, but shouldn't head down stream.

I do have a fairly nice place to live. I'm on 148 acres of mixed farmland, with several thousand acres of State owned land on either side of me. So I have LOTS of land to wander over, explore, camp on, etc. But I do have to put up with a lot of those ... clueless idiots. We tend to call them BOB's - they'd be BETTER OFF BOWLING!

Now to go ... torture ... a bunch of iron/steel in the fire, and see if I can make anything out of it.
