Hello my name is Lonnie and My wife is Connie.
Here at Far North Bushcraft And Survival you will learn about many long forgotten tricks and tips of the old time woodsmen. Not only will you learn about bushcraft / woodcraft but you will learn many things that will help you to survive in less than ideal "survival" situations as well. Come along and sit with me by the campfire as I delve into these subjects in a way that you can easily learn to then do yourself.
I will show you how to make shelters, gather food, use wild medicines as well as start fires with or without matches, lighters, ferro rods, etc - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Sturdy chair!
The Bob Ross of Bushcraft
I think that’s called bushcraft. Very innovative. Primitive, but it makes a camp more civilized and comfortable and primitive furniture actually sells for a good buck and is very stylish. I have a table that my tv sits on that is made like that and I love it. It was my grandparent’s. We also have a chair or two made similarly and they are really nice. Once you’re able to make joints like that, you can make anything in the way of furniture.
Lonnie, your vids are worth the time because you do original stuff and you're easy to listen to. Cheers from Southern Ontario, Canada.
that's a good idea I have an auger style bit that will work just great for that. I always say that having a little support for you back makes all the difference in the world when you are camping
Thats the content i was looking for ... And i will be looking back at this in 30 years .... If i got the chance ...
great idea, and easy to do. I see a chair in my future for the yard, and save enough money to buy a 6 pack of beer to enjoy along the way!
I'm so glad that chair didn't break when he sat down on it.
Woo-hoo! !!! Lonnie's back😃!!!
Nice video! I like watching earth, explore and relax...
That is the easiest and cheapest method I have seen yet for making a Scotch eyed auger. Thank you.
Nice camp furniture. Enjoyed the brief campfire at the end.
Great idea! Norm Abrams would be impressed with your furniture making skills.
Awesome sir
That is really cool the way you made the New Tool design for Boring out the holes in your furniture. Very Nice Indeed.
I love it, Got bless ya'll!
A new present from Bushcraft Santa! Thanks Lonnie, I have something very similar made up. The bit I carry is an "expansive" bit that has a sliding cutter you can adjust to make different hole sizes. Not the first choice in a workshop, but perfect for a portable kit. It was in a box of old auger bits, screwdrivers, files etc that was being dumped off as a lot in a farm auction that I got for $3. Made by Irwin too! Stay warm, and stay well sir!
I have two different sizes of those expanding bits that you are talking about out at our cabin. Between the two of tehm, a wide range of bit sizes are covered. I may bring one of those back next time out there or else a fixed sized 1 inch bit. It all depends on what size bits I have out there as I can not remember. One of the great things about a removable driver like I made here is that I am free to swap out different sized bits. Like if I build a cot or bunk bed, I can use a large bit for inserting the cross members of the wood frame and then use a small bit to bore a hole through the male and female portion of a joint in order to "pin" the joint in place so it can not back out and fall apart.
Far North Bushcraft And Survival, we are definitely talking about the same type of expansive bit sir, mine was a set of two as well. Not the equal to a fixed sized bit to be sure, but very handy and packable. Pinning bigger pieces works great, particularly if you offset the inner piece hole by about 1/8" to 3/16 so the pin pulls the joint tightly together. It does require a supple bit of wood for the pin and rounding the end so it doesn't get hung up, but makes for a very strong joint. I also bore blind holes that don't go all the way through, and cut a kerf down the dowel just slightly less than the depth of the bored hole, then put a wedge in the kerf with about 1/4" still sticking out. Driving the dowel in seats the wedge as it hits the bottom, and expands the dowel inside the blind hole basically locking it in tightly without glue or any other assistance. Same idea as an axe wedge in the handle. A little work with a gouge or knife to progressively widen the blind hole as it goes in really makes the joint tight, and the wedge trick becomes a mechanical lock rather than friction fit. Both are better suited to longer term campware, but are really effective and simple techniques, that can be adapted to just about any camp/wilderness meddling.
Thank you for your reply Lonnie, it means a lot that you take the time and effort. 👍🏻
Just in time for winter, need those chairs and tables for camp!
Very neat. I’ve made “pigs” before now I think I may make some chairs. Something great about projects in the woods. Thanks for sharing.
Handy for doorpin recesses too.
By Golly, Lonnie, That's some great DIY Rustic Furnature Right There & Made not to Break the pocket book either. Thanks Hay Connie & Scratch fer 'ole Buck ATB Ter God Bless
Super idea Lonnie, thanks for sharing this.
Awesome idea. I'm gotta add a 1 inch auger and a handle system similar to yours to my kit. That'll make camp furniture builds much easier and faster. Thanks!
yr imagination = ,,,, you have no limit .. thanx lon ,....
Thanks for another video.
That's pretty slick. Thank you for all your videos. Much appreciated.
Nothin like practical, keep up the good vids.
Thanks Lannie loved this!
Dobra robota Lonnie.
Looks like fun, pretty cool . 👍🇺🇸 . Thanks
Good for fishing too, cool.
Really like the idea of putting the bit into a pvc pipe. I already have the pvc just need to cut it to size tomorrow. Thanks!
Great Job my Friend!
Nice work Lonnie
I just found this channel and I can tell I'm gonna like it
Glad you are enjoying the videos and welcome to the channel.
genius. Well done sir!
Thanks for the video ....Really good idea to have a small part that holds the bit and You can always find a stick for a handle
Looks great Lonnie, thanks for idea!!
This is interesting Using Creativity
Lonny your videos are an inspiration for me. Someday I hope to move to Alaska. I want to experience and do the stuff you do with my future wife. She loves this kind of stuff too.
But until then I will enjoy watching your videos and live vicariously through you.
Have a good one buddy.
SJ Kandil come on up we can always use more Alaskans. As long as you like the cold support the slope and like guns you’ve got my vote 👍🏻!!!!
Sackmatters I love guns and I cannot stand the heat. Winter and fall are my favorite seasons!
What is the slope?
North slope of Alaska oil fields.
You remind me of Bob Ross, I feel so relaxed when I watch your videos, it's almost like doing Yoga xD
Nonetheless, really informative content, keep it up.
I think it is his voice. Soothing.
I really like watching your videos. Can't wait for the next one. Take care of yourself
Great alternative
Nice job on the tool and furniture
Lonnie, that's treemendous! A nice project for family and friends; even the little ones.
Thanks for another great video.You have a lot of skills.
I got an antique hand crank drill at a yard sale for $7 with about 5 bits. Great tool
You're the man!
Good work Lonny lovely furniture
I really like the tool thanks for that diy hack.
Brilliant! Thank you.
What a cool tool. I have a brace and bit set but never thought of using it this way. I'm headed to ACE!...I grew up camping, fishing and hiking but never learned any bushcraft skills. I used to sit around camp bored with nothing to do...I was limited by my skill set and imagination. Your series has opened up a new world to me. Thank you for some great videos
Very cool 👍
Great video Lonnie. I love woodworking of all kinds. Primitive woodwork is actually better simply because you get the raw character of the wood and an antique look as well. Thanks for sharing and stay safe and warm.
Thanks Lonnie. Going to make something like this next week here in NZ
Excellent video!
Thanks for sharing another great video.
You should make another video on furniture!
Thanks so much! Awesome instructions!!
You've done it again Lonnie . You've made me believe that I could have a reasonable expectation of success with something new.. Thanks Brian 77
Wow.. that's great..
Thanks for the video
Well, I guess it's easier than carrying a brace everywhere. Thanks for the tip. I like rustic furniture.
feel like its been forever! glad theres another video
Some great work Lonnie
A step up in bushcrafting imho
Atb
Steve
Good Work!
LOVE your channel
Advice:
When you welded at the end of the drill, the better a good hardened wood drill, the better you will be spinning and better enter the tree, so now you have to push the whole device. I did the same but using a bigger drill to do in the forest swedish fire torch;)
Brilliant.
Exellent.
Neat outdoors woodworking project, thanks for sharing! :)
Yahoo! All Caught Up!
Learned quite a few things in the process.
Also had a lot of my thoughts verified Before I tried them, which will save time as I Do things.
quality video and idea as always, lonnie. thank you. :-)
Nice craftsmanship as always! I have learned so much from you. Thanks for the education.
Great stuff
Just got an auger myself yesterday, so I was looking for a few ideas for building projects to try out and I would have never thought of cotts! I think I'll try out a chair and a little table maybe first and get the hang hang of it a little better before attempting the cott! But thanks for the idea! I like it! Great video btw thanks for the tips!
Hi lonnie niece one bud
$10 on Amazon next day shipping. I don't think it's too expensive or inaccessible for most people who'd be watching this channel.
Awesome tool hack Lonnie. And cool furniture - I definitely need to make some like that for around the cabin
It will be cool to see what you come up with. Eating dinner on the crate is going to get old fast. LOL
Such perfect timing for me Lonnie. Been looking for a hand Auger to do exactly what you have shown. Thank You, and a Great Idea for Camp Projects.
This is awesome Lonnie, my dad passed away June 19 2020 and as I was going through his tools I came across some of these bits, so I went to Lowe's got me see 1/2 cap and tee and am making me this for my pack and a good way to have something from my dad in my pack on my backcountry adventures God bless you and your family
I made the tool he made and it works really well
very cool thank you
Really enjoy your videos Lonny!! Keep up the good work
Thanks for sharing
I actually have a large old T-handled auger. The last time I used it it was for drilling holes in some tree stumps so that they will rot faster. Now I know how to make t-handled augers in other sizes. That is awesome. You have also inspired me to try to make some of those furnitures. They look cool. Thank you, Lonnie.
Very nice, great handy work
Really cool ! Great work sir! You are the real deal my friend ! Peace
Awesome camp furniture Lonnie! And great information. Homemade tools are always the best. Great auger. I may make one as a back-up to the brace and bit set by Dad gave me 45 years ago. You've inspired me to make a champ chair and table. ATB my friend, Ken
Nice build Lonnie I'm still thinking about that moose hunt you did really good this year always enjoy the view Marty good videoAlways your friend Jim Kansas City
Great video content as always Lonnie! May God bless y’all and keep y’all safe! :)
Thanks Lonnie. I was at a metal reclamation center in the spring and asked if I could go over to the area where they sort the metals. I was followed by a fork truck that had a big crate on the forks. The driver dumped a whole load, probably 1000 LBS. of tooling onto the ground. Drill bits, drills, taps and dies, all kinds of great stuff was there. That was just one day. How much stuff gets scrapped in America every single day? So, if you are in an hours` driving distance of a scrap yard, you can score so much, not to mention drill bits like you have. Even that pipe union you have, there. Lots of times, they will just let you take the stuff away for free. I scored an armload of 2 conductor copper wire that day for free. It is amazing how much you can get, just by being curious and courteous.
Brilliant video, I really like the idea of using the natural materials around you to make camp furniture and other useful items without using loads of cordage. I'm Especially interested in using augers for the purpose as no unnatural materials are used, that way they can be left in situ and revisited next time or just left to rot. I would love to see more of this.
Keep up the good work buddy, I've been following you for a while and tried some of your ideas in my location
Jason from the UK
Thanks for watching the videos Jason. Glad to have you here and glad that you are enjoying and learning from the videos.
Great little project for around camp, thanks for sharing!
Thought about it. Good vid.
Wow Lonnie, you never cease to amaze me, this is such a useful video. It's good knowledge that has been lost to modern ways that we need to revisit and learn from. As life slows down we will have time for doing what was intended initially, all the best to you and Connie.
Thanks for the reply
Thank you Lonnie for sharing your knowledge, I think I will make a chair.
Nice universal pocket tool Lonnie. I always learn a lot from you. Thanks as always!
Yep this is Floyd keep up the good work and happy holidays early
Lonny!!!!
