When pushing a pin, metal or wooden through cloth, if you spin it in your fingers, it will push the fibres apart rather than breaking any. Your cloth will last longer.
Weave a wool blanket from scratch so you’ll know that no peasant ever poked a stick through a fine woven wool blanket like this. 😂 just the moving around in the wearing of the blanket as a cloak would destroy the blanket over time in that area. Our ancestors didn’t have the luxury of just buying a new machine made, factory perfect, close woven wool blanket after they destroyed the first one like a rich person would with brooches. 😂. Yes, you will find rich people in paintings wearing such brooches on fabrics. But you will only find peasants wearing them on knitted or crocheted fabric or the most coarsely loose woven fabric. A peasant would tie a belt, sash, or rope around the waist, and wear the blanket as a coat, doubled across the breast.
@Chelsea Craft the thing is.... you are 1000% right just based on the fact that people didn't crochet or even knit yet, depending on how far you go back. Both are surprisingly relatively new skills we have. And this kind of cloak closure is pretty old. It's not what you wanted to say.... but it's not a lie.
That's very cool! That metal version you're wearing, also called a penannular brooch, dates back to the Romans and Vikings. You can find examples of similar designs displayed in museums. Nice to see a wood version of it, that's a great idea.
You could use hawthorn thorns for a needle, those things sometimes grow to ridiculous sizes. And you need literally nothing to use those, just cut them off the shrub
@@donaldasayers Good point, though some folks get "cold" when the temp drops below 60 - AND, I have seen a minus 13 Fahrenheit. Not often, but it has happened!
The best vine I have found for bending is wisteria (if you get the runners on top of the round) , what you got there looks like it might be Japanese hunny suckle which is also good
That's super cool! Bushcrafty AF!! I have a wool blanket pin that you made,it rides in my belt pouch that you also made 😀 that are awesome, but definitely will have to try this one out for sure!! Can't wait for the new knifes to release. Another awesome video as always brother 👍 💪
Lmao you read our minds. After the last video I knew people were gonna be asking about that pin. I admit, I myself jumped on Amazon but didn't see any I liked. And then here you come making a video on how to make your own. Now THAT I can get behind. And respect. Well done 😁👍
Seasonal craft that anyone can do. The cloak this produces looks cool. Edit: I got out for a hike today, found some greenbriar and made the ring. Now I'll look for some good wood for a pin.
Another Pa native , there is nothing like people that come out of the Hollows and Wood of Pennsylvania. We are just built different. Doesn’t matter your sex or how cute you are if you are from Pennsylvania you are an excellent tracker and hunter and survivor. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 love this video!!! Great content!
I like this project a lot! It's something I can do with my 4yo. We watch your videos together. Like my dad and I watched The Southern Sportsman when I was 4yo. Hopefully in a couple years my son and I will make it to one of your courses, and he will have some base skills already to go!
Hmm. my dad has grape vines, and they need to get thinned as new shoots grow in, so there are a lot of fresh cuttings. I bet those would work great for this.
already have some in various sizes snagged one at a Flea Market once many years ago ordered some from Dixie Gunworks years back can be found at National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association meets, Friendship, IN or make yourself one... some of these have fairly thick pins and are difficult with tight weaves thinner pins are better then there's some like giant safety pins nice to have PA...? thought you're in OH
👏👏👏...Yeah great very bushcrafty... Now what about making one in between the old fashioned and the improvised primitive tec... 🤔... What about using a carabiner and some needle...?
Bro, what is a Bushcraft tool called that holds your log while you use a draw knife on it & how do you make one... I'm wanting to say it's called a woodslave but I am not for certain
As cool as hand forged pins are, remember that oz. Add up to lbs. We live in the 21st century, That's why I put buttons on my wool blanket. Sewing buttons and holes isn't that hard.
A smooth round stone & a hair tie work as a quick "monk's button." Push the stone up from underneath, twist the tie around the front. No pin, no holes, no stitch, no fuss.
Good video I have watched a lot of it then and stocked up on things that you advised even though I live in the center of a huge City. I want to know why cuz you never know.
Your next project should be weaving a wool blanket from scratch so you learn why our ancestors did not push sticks through woolen fabric. They used a belt and tied the blanket like a coat. Brooches are for knit and crochet fabrics, not woven fabrics. They are also good for buckles and pinning your hair back.

and it's fun too 😊
and it penetrates easier, needs less force to push trough.

i dont like running a pin or stick thru my blanket so i use the marble or rock with some string or paracord method
A monks button. I like this concept as well. No pins, no holes.

Thorns from a Locust Tree or Mesquite Tree should work well too.
@@randy-9842 But if you are in regions where those grow, will you need a blanket pin?
@@donaldasayers Good point, though some folks get "cold" when the temp drops below 60 - AND, I have seen a minus 13 Fahrenheit. Not often, but it has happened!
We have locust here and another big thorn tree and for several months of the year yes. Regularly get below freezing in the winter.

Here in North Central PA I’m sticking with “spring of deception” until I don’t wake up to snow….
This is by far the best Bushcraft channel on TH-cam! Thank you!
This is awesome! Thanks Dan! Ive always wanted to join the Fellowship of the Ring
[The heat in my core] calls for aid!
Very nice.
I always prefer making my own stuff instead of buying.
Thanks for posting.

Fantastic little project for young Bush Crafters.

Great project Dan - it looks great!!!
Thank you!
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing your adventures and information
Dan: Manly, manly, manly man. So good.
This is awesome! I made one last summer using a scrap piece of house electrical wire
Thanks Dan!! Love it!!! I've made the copper type but never even consider using vine-age!! Happy Easter!!😇🐣💚
Cold mornings here in NJ, too. Got poor man's pepper growing high already, though--did not expect that so soon.
You can always ask Frodo to make one for you.
I love keeping stakes close to my heart
Nice project, jade ring & pin of deer antler.
I like this project a lot! It's something I can do with my 4yo. We watch your videos together. Like my dad and I watched The Southern Sportsman when I was 4yo. Hopefully in a couple years my son and I will make it to one of your courses, and he will have some base skills already to go!
I also watched The southern sportsman show with Franc White and his zebra stripped airplane.
That is awesome!! That is something I am going to try and do this weekend when I am down at my son's farm.
Way cooler than the forged pin.🙂
Idk why this in my recommended, but now im not going play DnD without this
That was pretty cool Dan!
Awesome tool to get kids involved in a simple project!
So I can do cartwheels if I wear that blanket pin? Cool. I was never able to do them before...
Love this one! Thank you as always. We'll check out the blanket pin on your site.
I'm pretty sure that's kudzu. Looks like you have plenty out there to play with baskets and wicker type stuff
After watching, I made three from long suckers growing from a scrub oak.
I thought that was a super idea. Cool stuff.
For the rythm of Algo :) Nice little project. Thanks.
That would make a great shawl pin too.
Hmm. my dad has grape vines, and they need to get thinned as new shoots grow in, so there are a lot of fresh cuttings. I bet those would work great for this.
Love this! Thank you for this , can't wait to try it🤩
The Roman version of that pin is called a fibula.
Get a solid good quality shower curtain ring and a sharp nail... get a box of both & share with the crew 😊
Good tip Dan
Good stuff Dan :-) Thanks for sharing.
Have you tried soaking wood in boiling water or holding it over steam to make it softer? It should bend better.
Outstanding video
Nice one Dan.
Bad ass man, thanks! 💪😎🇺🇸
I love this! Made me subscribe. 👍🏻
Just a cool short vid. Thank you
That was cool!
already have some in various sizes
snagged one at a Flea Market once many years ago
ordered some from Dixie Gunworks years back
can be found at National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association meets, Friendship, IN
or make yourself one...
some of these have fairly thick pins and are difficult with tight weaves
thinner pins are better
then there's some like giant safety pins
nice to have
PA...? thought you're in OH
Roots can be used to make a good ring because of its flexibility
Thank you
Absolutely kool!
Very cool thanks for sharing!
👏👏👏...Yeah great very bushcrafty... Now what about making one in between the old fashioned and the improvised primitive tec... 🤔... What about using a carabiner and some needle...?
Cool video. Now I want to make one from a soda can 😊
It's your Plaidie pin, brooch pin, bronze age tech still useful...
That is so cool! Thanks!
Cool
You look so Viking
Yeah, the CALENDAR says spring, but believe me -- it ain't spring yet here in The People's Republic of Oregon.
Nice!
FIBULA. That's the word you are looking for to call what you call "blanket pin".
That was cool
Awesome! Thanks!
Hey there, I came on the comment section to try to find your metal brooches, and don't seem to see the pinned comment. I was gonna to check it.
Ace tips dude
Most excellent 👌 😊
Straight out of the hobbit!
Nice Fan😊
Excellent simple functional design for ordinary application and usage. Thank you.
Bro, what is a Bushcraft tool called that holds your log while you use a draw knife on it & how do you make one... I'm wanting to say it's called a woodslave but I am not for certain
Can you use green saplings or branches
That is cool 😎
Does that poisonous ivy you mentioned grow in central Russia?
When will the hutchins roll be back in stock?
Way cool!
As cool as hand forged pins are, remember that oz. Add up to lbs. We live in the 21st century, That's why I put buttons on my wool blanket. Sewing buttons and holes isn't that hard.

Awe inspiring.
Can I order that color of blanket that you have in the video?
My 'wool' has buttons and zippers.

Dude looking like Frodo lol

Aloha hugs 🤗 I am allergic to Wool
Your next project should be weaving a wool blanket from scratch so you learn why our ancestors did not push sticks through woolen fabric. They used a belt and tied the blanket like a coat. Brooches are for knit and crochet fabrics, not woven fabrics. They are also good for buckles and pinning your hair back.
it seems cool but sewing velcro would be more useful!😢
Great skill to know. Thanks Dan. 👍✌️
Ok Frodo
