Making an American Cherry spoon billet from a green log, with Froe and Axe. This is how I select the best grain for my spoons. You'll notice me hand selecting just the side and guarter if the log.

Hand Drill fire at boulder camp
มุมมอง 2224 ปีที่แล้ว
Out on an overnight and started the dinner fire with myPrickly Lettuce Hand Drill on a Western Cedar hearthboard. used a Poplar bark tinder bundle to ignite the coal and then ignite the Hemlock twig bundle, to get the fire going well.

When spinning an ember on a windy day. I like to spin the ember right into the tinder bundle. This prevents the ember from being blown away and helps with ignition.
How I Start a Fire in the Woods
มุมมอง 3345 ปีที่แล้ว
I prefer to start all of my fires with a hand drill, and this demonstrates how I go about that from start to finish. Cutting the divot out, the burn in, cutting the notch, into the tinder bundle, into flame, slowly drop on a pile of fine curls, then a bundle of small twigs, finishing up with a log cabin lay of small split wood.

Hard time starting this fire on this high humidity damp morning. Quick to get a coal, but the tinder did not want to ignite.
Hand drill practice

Keeping my hands in shape with my daily hand drill practice. This one went well I think, around 11 seconds.

Sunday Dinner (Part One)

A short outing, but got a lot done. (when I say Poison Oak, I mean to say Poison Ivy) made some Hemlock tea, grilled a steak and did a bunch of other bushcraft tasks.
Wet Feet at the Creek

Went out to my local creek today to get some photos. We have had a lot of rain and the water is high. Hope you enjoy.

Gathering Hand Drill Spindles in the Rain
Can anything be applied, rubbed into the cordage to preserve, extend its usefulness?
Did you grind off that ridiculous jimping on the spine? It looks much better and functional without it and the point clipped/ground instead. Nice mods, and I love that coating stripped as well.
very good knife and video
Thank you.
Beautiful setting for preparing your dinner. We are so fortunate to live in such a beautiful area of the country. I appreciate your videos and look forward to more. God bless y’all. - Tennessee Smoky
What wood do you use around the Chattanooga area?
There is quite of bit of Mullien in the area, so I use that often. There is also plenty of Goldenrod. Prickly Lettuce can be found, but you really have to look quite hard to find it. Bull thistle can also be found, but can be very finicky. Tall Ironweed is another excellent material, but can also be hit or miss for quality and strength.
@@brianharnas6519 I'm near the area and about the only trees I have around me are hickory, oak and pine. I do have some dried stalks around here that might make for a good spindle, I'll give it a shot when the weather dries up. Thanks.
Hey sir, would you consider selling me a John Neeman axe, by chance?
I no longer have this Axe.
beautiful axe,i love it
Thank you my Friend.
It almost looked liked a shoe for Cinderella at one point haha!. Amazing talent you have.
Deep highway bushcraft …
I just did a try-stick with my new Tracker Mini, check out our IG @backyardbushcraftsurvival and our brand new channel! th-cam.com/channels/_J70hxZSVD4vuKeOuiIFUg.html
Nice work Brian...
My apologies, I just noticed your previous video describing the wood as American Cherry. Thanks for sharing this with us, look forward to more of your videos. - Tennessee Smoky
That is an awesome hatchet. And you sir are very skilled at using it to get that piece of wood to a rough shape for carving a spoon. I’m wondering what type of wood that was? - Tennessee Smoky
Thank you. I have been using hand tools all of my life, and this carving axe for the last ten years. Takes a lot of practice to become confident. Yes. This is American Cherry, as you noticed. I use this almost exclusively.
Very good work with the hatchet, sir.
Thank you. Lots of practice and many spoons.
Very nice axe work!
Thank you. I have been using an axe all my life. A carving axe for about the last ten years.
Nice to see you go at it Brian. You're a good bit better with your axe than I am but I'm coming along nicely after nearly 3 yrs now. The finer points of this game are a bit humbling and that's good for the soul! I have one of your spoons for ref. along with some notes from your email and I find it helpful when I want to come close to that style of spoon. Thanks for that. I like that last spoon you just put up on IG. It's a style I prefer too altho I still vary my efforts up. Thanks man...you're a treat to watch! ~ Whittlestix.
Thank you. I am constantly evolving in my carving and am sure my style may change again. Glad you're still at it and improving.
Good work, sir. I love to make wooden spoons. I live in Sequatchie County.
Hello neighbor. I am just up on the mountain from you. Check out my Instagram @tennesseespoon We have spoon carving get togethers every so often.
A master of his craft. Amazing to watch.
You make some of the best videos. I want to go!
How do you keep it strong after it dries? I did this with nettle and when I cured it broke alot easier than half dried
That is the main reason that I use poplar bark. Some materials will deteriorate. I have poplar bark cordage, that I have been using for the years. All it takes is experimentation. I believe dog bane and hickory cordage are quite durable as well.
Yo !!
Enjoy your content and picked you up
Thank you very much. Glad to have you and thanks for taking the time to comment.
Thumbs up 👍
Check us out maybe you would like to demo Wojtek Bushcraft knife?
Thanks for sharing this know-how.
Thank you, for taking the time to watch and reply.
I am not going to lie, it kills me watching the ease in which you do your bushcraft. It truly impresses me and makes me realize that I have so much farther to go. I would love to see more videos from you! You have an amazing channel!
Thank you so much. I do appreciate you watching and commenting. I have been doing these things and living this lifestyle for a very long time. I am still working, so it is a bit difficult and time consuming, making and editing these videos. I will try and do more. Check out my Instagram pages as well. There are some short videos in there. @chattanoogabushcraft. @tennesseespoon
@@chattanoogabushcraft2617 I totally understand, and look forward to your future videos!
Maybe a silly question. But what is that lanyard material you have? Great vid one of my favorites.
Thank you for watching. The lanyard material is handmade cordage, from Poplar Bark.
@@chattanoogabushcraft2617 thank you
That's a Cadillac
Good seeing ya make fire! Nothing like being near that moving water, beautiful! Experienced spinner for sure, free floating fire board!
Thanks. This is a special spot. Hard to reach and very private. Always rewarding to start a fire with site sourced materials. Poplar bark came from a tree just down the creek.
Thank you for sharing this technique with us. Nothing like using primitive technique to build a fire on a cool fall day. This is a beautiful location for your camp. Thanks for taking us along with you. - Tennessee Smoky
If your knife's spine is also set at a true 90° angle (and is not rounded off) you can scrape things like bark and fatwood with it, no need to use the edge and risk injury and/or unsharpen it.
Wonderful video thank you for sharing. Very beautiful area!
Thank you. My Friend. For watching and taking the time to comment.
Very nice shtf knife and also for camping and whatever else 😂, solid choice👍
Thanks. This is definitely a do all knife. Very glad to have it.
@@chattanoogabushcraft2617 I carry a custom Scar Blades PapaBear so i know exactly what they can do, take care of it as long as u have it bro and 👍 nice vid!
What type of oil are you using?
This little bottle I'm using is Militec, which is a gun oil.
@@chattanoogabushcraft2617 Thanks
Beautiful knife, wish i could afford one, maybe later, thanks for the video
What a nice demonstration of your primitive fire skills. I would love to learn more. Look forward to additional videos from your channel. Stay safe. - Tennessee Smoky
That is one gorgeous knife...
Once you learn how to make cordage this way it’s a vary valuable skill to have and you’ll be proud of your self when you get it right and make some really nice cordage
I love twig bundles butt I just stick a piece of char cloth in the twig bundle a blow into flame. Nice video.
Thanks. I will on occasion, do that as well. I do enjoy making my curls, and friction fire though.
@@chattanoogabushcraft2617 ah okay . Not going to lie wish my curls looked like yours..
They really do work well for igniting even the smallest flame, like gasoline.😁
I stumbled upon this and it's related and interesting. www.utahknifeworks.com/survivor I wonder if it's true.
Can this be done with a pocket knife?
Yes it can. I have made very fine curls, with a. Very small pocket knife. I think I posted some photos on my Instagram page, quite some time ago. The mist important aspects, are a sharp blade and proper technique
You’ve totally contaminated your clean water connections letting them fall in the water. Not recommended.
Can you please tell me where I can order or buy one of these?
Hey man, look at Northmen Tools. It used to be John Neeman Tools but as far as I know they changed their name. The link to either the same axe, or a very very similar axe is at the link below. www.northmen.com/en/products/axes/northlander-forest-axe-stalwart-gloss
Anyone who has this knife should grind off that secondary edge and feel like you have a completely new knife.
"You just have to have an eye for straight".. Hey man, I'm not sure you're allowed to say that in 2020!
takes me about 7 minutes of pure effort to get the dust built up and I'm still struggling to get it ignited.
Keep at it. All it takes is time, building up the hands and strength. Eventually you'll have a hard time not getting an ember.
Just subbed hit me back💪😉🧭
Hi nice video bro)
Never been a fan of the tracker but I like this version better than the TOPS one cuz does'nt have serrated edges on top...
This one is nicer, but the serrated edge gets smaller (not very demanding) jobs done quicker because it can be used as a small saw for those jobs. In the end, and axe and a small handy knife are way better combination. But I would still want to try one of these :-)
VortexQA IMO never been a fan of knives with serrated spine... useless...
@Barone B, I got to agree.
A dead standing tree has all the sizes of branches you'll ever need. There's never a survival situation in which you'll need to baton. It's not about breaking the knife or not. It's about not wasting your time.
