Ich möchte der Handwerks- und Fahrradbubble @wasnichtalles zum Folgen vorschlagen. Er macht Dinge wie: Fahrraddrechselbank, Fahrradschmiede. Ihr trefft ihn an auf Märkten hin und wieder oder bei privaten Feiern womöglich. Dann kann man selbst mit seiner Anleitung Messer schmieden und deren Griffe drechseln. Und, eben entdeckt für die Bushcraftenden unter uns: wie baut man eine Spülbürste aus Gras?

Went into the wood to try out my new UCO Flatpack grill (medium size).

Bought it specially for winter time, as it should provide (and does) more heat compared to small gassifier stoves...

I guess I still need more experience to select proper firewood, but still did not gave up, and got what I wanted (coffee and steak, of course).

Rando - Sac de couchage - duvet ou synthétique https://sima78.chispa.fr/index.php?post/2024/12/01/Rando-Sac-de-couchage-duvet-ou-synth%C3%A9tique #Bivouaquer #Bushcraft #randonnée #Matériel #Bivouac

I have written about using a ferro rod to start fires in the past. But I never really explained a few things. As a prepper, sure I could buy a lifetime’s worth of Bics and always be able to light a fire. But years ago I learned how to use a ferro rod and steel to light a fire and here is why. About 10 years ago I made a pledge, as an offering to Lugh, to use only a ferro rod and steel (my bush knife) to start the bonfires for a whole year.

At first I was clumsy and it took a while to get that flame going. As time went on, I learned what the best tinder was (fine dry swamp grass and curls of fatwood kept in a pouch), the best technique (hold the rod to the surface and make a slow solid shower of sparks down onto the tinder) and got so that I could get that fire lit with one swipe on the rod (have the whole little fire pyramid ready with tiny kindling and a space to stuff the lit tinder under). It was the learning, conquering a challenge, and making a life saving thing without the disposable use of fossil fuel. From a practical point of view, it makes sense to always have alternatives as well.

Bic lighters are absolutely shitty when they get wet. It takes a lot of energy to dry them out and get them to light (running the wheel on your jeans for 5 or 10 minutes) which might be perilous if you were in a situation where getting that fire going was important. Bics can be lost, run out of fuel, etc. so having an extra method of making fire is common sense.

But that is the least of it. Learning how to do something that is outside your current skill set is the whole point. Doing the preparation ahead of time by creating a fire pouch with everything you need in it and keeping it with you and dry at all times. You are training your brain to think ahead, use methodical procedures and develop small motor skills.

After I started using the knife and ferro rod, I realized I wanted a sheath to keep them together so early in my learning to do leather work, I made this sheath that keeps them together. The cotton pouch can hang on my belt under my coat to keep tinder in as well, but I usually just keep it in the camp kit. The best way to prepare for future difficulty is to learn to use your gear now.

There doesn’t seem to be many #bushcraft peeps here on Masto but I know that there are a few of us. I picked up a nice oilskin tarp from Bushcraft Spain a while back and have had some pleasant conversations with the staff a few times. Their operation was wiped out in the flooding in Valencia Spain. They are trying to raise money for a new warehouse and a first run to get them rolling again. They are offering some very generous rewards.

Done! Jutro w terenie będzie używanie

Me: watching more bushcraft videos

Guy: Starts making tree house

Me: Okay, that's interesting, but how are those logs gonna hold up?

Guy: Starts hammering nails

Me: Oh. Mhhh... well that's not "real" bushcraft, call me a purist, but I'll allow it, I guess

Guy: Starts hammering steel beams.

Me: Okay, this DEFINITELY isn't bushcraft anymore, more like construction, but let him cook.

Guy: Brings roll of impermeable roof covering.

Me: Okay this is getting ridiculous.

Guy: Turns on his blowtorch

Me: OH COME ON!!!
