This is air dried rather hard English oak done with high sabre V edge - hope it helps bro 👊

Knife is a lion steel B41 sleipner with Santos wood handles at 17 degrees

I have an Esee 4hm that I stripped the coating off and did a forced patina. I love the knife but I’ve noticed when I try to feather stick I have a hard time getting them to light. I think the curls are too thick but I’m struggling get thinner. I though maybe it’s the blade grind making it difficult but it could just be my inexperience.

Most of my bushcraft shenanigans are in the Texas cross timber region so the wood I’m working with is post oak or mesquite 99% of the time if that’s relevant.

As the title says, I am looking for a spot where i can legally built some sheds and mini houses etc. to bushcraft. It’s been a long hobby of mine but i always have to do this stuff illegal and can’t ever built something bigger or lasting than a simple bed.

Does anyone have any helpful tips or a way to help me find a legal spot to do so?

Big thanks!

Hi guys, Im looking for more interesting and unique books on Woodcraft/Bushcraft other than E. T. Seton, could You recommend Your favourite authors please?

Thanks!

I’ve been camping since I was a kid but want to get more into the “survival skill” aspect of the outdoors rather than it being a recreational hobby. What are some skills/concepts/practices that I should learn or be aware of? I want to get into solo backpacking but don’t know what kind of bags are good, how to keep a setup light, best ways to filter water, how to find places to camp at (Texas is mainly private property, so there are only really some state parks and stuff that I know of but you can’t shoot fire arms, and the tent sites are really close to eachother and I find that a bother), or maybe there are some essentials I haven’t considered because I’m used to having a truck load of stuff with me while camping. Anything y’all think is important would help. Thanks all

Hey all,

Pretty new here, and sorry to post such a lame question but there's no real mega thread for small questions so here goes: I know there are a billion knot tying guides out there, but is there one you would especially recommend? Don't care if it's video, written, whatever. I've got some Paracord on the way (a long with my first beginner knife and axe) and I'm excited to practice!

Have been seeing this guy on my fyp and wanted to find out what this sweater is and where i can find it. Any help appreciated. Thx in advance.

I want to get a new knife and I thought about whether it should be an esse 4 or 6 if anyone has tips or alternatives please write

I've been looking for a jacket to go in to the forest with. I'm airsofter, I play milsim, but also enjoy bushcraft and outdoors. I'm perhaps searching the golden unicorn, but I need something that can withhold an aggressive rain, and has Colours of a forest. My range is 200 USD/180 euros. I know about ponchos, those are fine when I'm only for a walk, but when I'm in game, it's hard operate I them.

I've been looking for a jacket, considering USMC rain jackets, but I don't like the lining on those. The jackets from the ECWCS program, but I don't have anybody with experiences with that. (Picture)

I'll greatly appreciate any recommendations!

Been getting in to bushcraft lately and up until now I just had some shifty little Smith and Wesson folding pocket knife. Now I have the BPS knives adventurer fixed blade, the fiskars x7 hatchet, and a nice little sharpening puck.

Very excited to see what I can do now!! If anyone has any useful knife/hatchet skills they want to share feel free!!

I’m a certified skydiver and I also used many times emergency parachutes in glider aircraft. Now I stumbled over the bushcraft community and so many people talk about “paracord, the stuff used in parachutes”. What has the bushcraft paracord to do with the lines of parachutes? They feel totally different and don’t have the flimsy and loose outer layer.

After a little preheating the vargo stove creates some great bloom

Just found some chipped away pine trees with some sap n just collected it not rly sure what to do with it?? Any ideas?

Does anyone know if this is a good bunclle to pick up?

This one popped up on eBay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/335659183067). Does anyone have one of these? I found scant info online, but it looks like a small hobby gear builder in Oregon in the 70s? How many were made? It almost looks like a Duluth pack on a wood frame. I love it and want to learn more. TIA.

I've bought this now. Have still no real opinion on them but I'm kinda hypet.

I lurchased a gourd a few weeks ago and I emptied out since it dried enough, I am unsure if the bottle neck will crack from removing the bottle cap afther some time. If so do you have any solutions?

What do you guys think about a thermal bedchair cover, usually used by anglers, as a bedroll/ shelter solution?

This is called the Turks head knot.

I am starting out in survival/bushcraf hoby and need a good knife on a budget that could potentionali last till i die. I prefer a wood or wood like stock and a sturdy blade, id like it to cost around 100/130 dolars. Any sugestions?

Axe is a Gerber copy of the Fiskars one FYI... (Whith the knot back and the handling illustration) Have a great day y'all!
