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
I am not a citizen of the United States, but I share the common spirit of people of the Northern countries. Here, in Québec (home of the first bushcrafter in North America :) , it is not the thanks giving, but I owe return your best wishes, and I shall add, sir that my best thoughts are with you, spiritual brother and sister. Take care.
Another example of thinking outside the box....thanks again
One good thing about building a fire that way is that making all those shaving will warm you before the fire. You’ll be warmed twice! 😀👍Awesome video!
Herbal tea in hand and a sermon by Father Lonnie. I am officially relaxed.
What sort of tea? Valerian and skullcap? zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Lonnie’s voice/demeanor sure is relaxing, that’s for sure.
Happy Thanksgiving to all and thank you Lonny & Bonnie!! Enter His gates with thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. For the Lord is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting And His faithfulness to all generations.
a simple but effective method. never even thought of this. Just goes to show - its always good to open our minds and imaginations to make life easier in such situations
Wow. I like that technique. It pretty much eliminates any risk of injury. You could probably do that while you're half dead.
I love the way you talk in your videos. Like nature's Bob Ross. Great videos!
Along with Bushcraft and whatever you do to make a living, Lonnie with your voice, you should look into narrating children's books. I bet you'd make millions!
You can not imagine how many times I have been told something similar here in the video comments.
I would enjoy doing something like that i think.
He's like the Wilford Brimley of bushcraft!
Definitely. He has a deep, mellow voice. He’d do great reading for audiobooks, narration, radio.
You save the shavings and your coat catches them.. at the same time you don't sweat while making the shavings and get to put your dry coat back on! Great technique!
That's awesome Lonnie! I really appreciate the shout out!
Happy Thanksgiving Lonnie! May you and Connie always have a full belly, a full bowl, and a warm dry place to rest.
You are saving lives by teaching us these things! A lot of time it is somewhat common sense, but having these videos will really help in a survival situation! Thanks for doing these for us!!!!
Lonnie after all that work I believe you no longer need the fire as you are already warmed up; good info and another great video
I would never have considered that method. Makes perfect sense. I'm old enough to learn something new every day. Thank you and your wife and have a happy Thanksgiving!
Your hope was fulfilled. I have made feather sticks and fire tender, more than a few times. However, NEVER with my knife in a log. Great idea, great method and thank you for so generously sharing such!
Did anyone else think to themselves, Duh, why didn't I think of that???? Another great video, Lonnie - but then again, you never have made a "bad" video! All the best to you and Connie
I didn't watch this when it first came out, but I thought today would be good. Another outstanding and informative video. I always learn something from you. Take care and stay warm. Put your feet up and have another cup of coffee. Thanksgiving is over, time to look forward to Christmas and the celebration of our Lord's birth.
When it seems obvious once pointed out, but never occurred to you before... great tip here, ty!
Thanks Lonnie. You and Connie have Happy Thanks Giving !!! Gary said that from the Lone Star State
Thank you Lonnie and Connie for making these kind of videos. There GREAT!!!
God bless you all patriotic American's and I love you
That's a real energy saving technique Lonnie!
Looks like a great (and safer) method for when your hands are freezing and fine motor skills are fading fast.
Great tip. I hope I never stop learning. Thank you sir!
Great video Lonnie, it made me smile seeing the yellow bic lighter after the last video.
Happy thanks giving from the UK
Great little technique. Sometimes the small things are overlooked. Cheers for sharing
Excellent, Lonnie! You're a Master Bushcraft Man!
Happy thanks giving to you and your wife Lonnie.
I can imagine that would be a good alternate method for when your hands get cold and your fine dexterity in your hands diminishes. definitely a good technique to practice and add to the tool box. Thank you for sharing Lonnie! Take care.
Nice twist on feather sticks. Thanks for sharing Lonnie.
Happy Thanksgiving to my favorite bush family!!
I wish I was there with you..thank you for what you are doing Lonnie...
Summer, winter. Sunny days an cold nights... Great video mate 👍🔥🇬🇧
Always enjoy and learn something from your videos Lonnie. Thanks again and all the best to you and your good lady.
Impressive technique Lonnie!
One thing I really enjoy about your videos is that you show the struggles, fumbles &, mistakes. You give a realistic representation of what it's like to do these things. Not a sanitized stream lined depiction where you get everything you do right & perfect the first try. Thank you.
I do something similar without the log too. I lock my knife arm in place and draw the wood across the blade and find my control is much better too. I learned your method watching a video of a man who had just had hand surgery and needed a one handed method. I like learnkng to do things one handed in case I dislocate a shoulder in a car accident or something.
You're a wonderful man. Really appreciate these.
Thanks Lonnie. Have been referring a bunch of people to your videos.
It’s the real deal and I️ always take away golden nuggets from your videos.
It’s the meat and potatoes of real survival.
Thanks for sharing
Great technique. sharing your vast experience will surely save someone's life . many thanks. Ian from the UK
Super man of the north! Lonnie you are straight up awsome! That is so simple I would never have thought of it. Some day when this saves my life I will raise a special toast to you. God bless you and Connie and Buck. Happy thanksgiving brother.
you are becoming one of my favorite channels! Keep it up!
Excellent demonstration partner. Good thing to know.
Thanks again for everything you do for us all!! Blessings 😇
Another great video Lonny! I'm also a big fan of NW Primate! Thanks 👍👍👍
Many blessings and thanksgiving to you and your family.
Jesteś w porządku. Pozdrowienia z Polski.
What a legend, I love your channel 👍
Good tip as very relaxing as usual
Thanks for sharing Lonnie and take care of that Asthma whistle my friend
Great video!! That's definitely something to remember!
Happy thanksgiving Connie and Lonnie
dear lonnie, for a small investment a metal pencil sharperer has provided initial tinder for fire making. This allows processing of pencil size sticks that have been "standing and dry". LOVE your channel, my wife particularly is enthusiastic of connie cooking segments. You seem a GREAT couple and your love for her is apparent. Dave and shirley Brown Queensland Australia
I have one of those large carpenter sized pencil sharpeners that i carry in my pack for that purpose. However the one I have only allows a stick to sharpen until it bottoms out in the sharpener and then it no longer makes shavings. I then have to cut the stick off again and reshape the end so that it will fit in teh sharpener only to get another short length of shavings. In other words, the model of sharpener that i have, really is not worth using for fire shaving generation purposes. Thanks for the kind words.
David Brown I have seen them used on other channels. I like to save the shavings from our pencil sharpener here. It's surprisingly how fast they add up. My #1 son teaches industrial arts at a high school and he has lots of sawdust. I haven't tried it for starting kindling, it might be too fine unless it's sprinkled over a small flame.
Lonnie, you are the Wilderness Wizard! Keep up the good work, it's keeping you young!
What a fantastic technique! Thanks a lot for showing! Greets from Switzerland
Felix
Thats actually a very good and safer technique.
That's an excellent way to make tinder and feather sticks. Thank you.
Nice video Lonnie. Very handy and fast way to turn out some tinder. Thanks For sharing.
Enjoyed your wonderful video please have a wonderful thanksgiving wish you and your wife all the best until next time my friend
Thanks for sharing another great video Lonnie. Enjoy your day.
Thanks for the advise Lonnie....sticking the knife in an impromptu branch/bench makes a lot of sense!
Thanks for the video and God Bless you and your wife.
The Mr. Rogers of Bushcraft, keep em coming
Thank you Lonnie , your method works quite well . As you also said - I hope you learn something, and I did learn because I tried your method , I had success and my fire was fully burning in just a few minutes. Thanks again Lonnie , I'm very happy that I've subscribed to your channel a couple months ago .
I am glad that you subscribed to my channel as well. My channel may have almost 170,000 subs but each and every one of them are important to me because without them I would not have this channel and be doing what i am doing. It takes every one of those individual subs in order to arrive at the total where i am at today.
Gobble Gobble young man have a great turkey day up there in cold country we both enjoy your videos keep it up young man . Happy Trails
Another good tip, Thx. Happy Turkey Day to all.
Whoa! That looks a heck of a lot easier that using the knife... Hate to see lighters... Thanks for the tip!
I light about 90 % of my fires with a bic or zippo lighter. However I do not rely on them as a survival fire starter. Since I spend so much time in the woods, I always have about 4 different ways of lighting a fire on me all the time as well as the ability to fashion several others from natural local found material I am very experienced and knowledgeable on primitive fire methods. (See video playlist links below) I was the one who introduced the traditional sitting method of the Eskimo Strap Drill to the web. However I still light the majority of my fires with a lighter since they are so easy and convenient and I do not feel the need to prove anything to anybody.

Great video, next is how to cook a turkey in the north!!! Looking forward to your next video!
Since Thanksgiving is all about being thankful to God for the bounty of the land that has been harvested, I was able to talk our extended family dinner to be primarily exactly that, bounty of the harvest quite a few years ago. I no longer remember what we had now but we had things like Caribou, moose, bear, halibut, salmon and recipes that included wild berries and garden produce. I thought it was a great holiday. Unfortunately I have been outvoted by the women and they have gone back to the ole turkey, stuffing etc of traditional Thanksgiving fare. We don't even have wild turkeys in Alaska. :o) lol
Nice way making shavings, thank you for the video.
Wrapped up in a wool blanket watching this! -30 here today. I do similar feathers/curls using my axe this way, but never stuck the knife in the log. Looks very effective! Thanks for sharing this. Take care, Brother! Give our best to Connie, as well. And have a great Thanksgiving.
Nice video, I never thought of fixing the knife like that... I'll have to try it. Thanks again!
Thank you for this video. This Mother Daughter Trio, really enjoy your videos. We practice a lot of what you teach in our wilderness. :)
Thank You Lonnie, I appreciate your videos!!
Thankful for your videos. Great thanksgiving to you and Connie.
You’re AWESOME Lonnie !!!! ( you too Connie !!!! )
another great idea, Lonnie, thanks, I`ll try that this weekend. Stay safe. Jim Bain
I reside the United States and had a great Thanksgiving, hope you did too. I will certainly utilize this method and practice it until I can achieve the same results as you did. You must live at a high altitude due to the evidence of you deep breathing under muscle stress. Thanks for sharing this with us in the south.
My immediate thought was *hey, I bet this works great with cold hands and heavy gloves!!* good info and fun video, thanks again Lonnie!
Brilliant instruction, Sir. Neccessity is the Mother of invention. Best wishes from Great Britain.
Love learning all the different ways to get tinder, this is yet another way that I didn't know about, many thanks.
Awesome idea. Keep them coming.
one of the most useful videos I've seen this year
This is simply brilliant !!
Thanks for sharing, Lonnie! ATB, Gereon
Lesson learned. Thank you Lonnie. I wish one day I can put everything I learned with you in a real adventure with my wife and son. Thank you for sharing.
