    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

    At 9:40 I like on the slo-no shot, it shows the pine half splitting apart from the bottom up... really displays the transfer of energy that happens when splitting with a maul (wedge) versus an axe (blade).

    • @northeastslingshot1664
      @northeastslingshot1664 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wegdes are for splitting
      Axes for chopping.
      2 headed axe is a chopping axe.
      Single dull bladed is for splitting

    @brianmclaren279 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Wanted to add, that on top of the weight advantage, the maul also has a much thicker, "wedge" like blade side than an axe.

    Had the same fly problem at moose camp - finally figured out that the bear was going after the flies in behind the siding in the corners of camp. Great idea with the foil under the sticky tape - I’m going to borrow that idea for easy clean up.

    Back in the 70's I'd listen to Harry Lime, The Thin Man, and Dragnet on Armed Forces Radio Iceland. As a 20-something kid, there was something strangely comforting listening to those ancient classics.

    You’re not lying brother. Connie is definitely a keeper. It’s gotta be cold when that snow crunches like it’s doing when you walk on it. I haven’t seen snow in over 18 years. I grew up in Michigan, and now live in Australia with my Australian wifey. She’s a keeper too, my best everything. Couldn’t live without her in my life. Though she is a bit (lot) bossy. Is there any honey bee nests in the walls anywhere? Would a board with some nails sticking up dissuade the bear?
