Stitches out April 13. Time to fulfill a promise to myself now-sign up for courses at the Pathfinder school. Carpe Diem every one. 🤙

2:48 The dig stick you’re making is called an o’o in the Hawaiian language. It is usually 5’-7’ and made from a variety of hardwoods found in Hawai’i like wiliwili, koa, ‘iliahi (Hawaiian sandalwood), kukui (Hawaiian candlenut) and was so durable, due to fire hardening and keeping it oiled to prevent boring insects and humidity, that it was passed down from one generation to the next. That simple tool, the dig stick or o’o’, kept an entire race fed and flourished for 1000 to 1700 years.

Those reproduction tinder boxes are nice. I have the steel one they used to offer years ago. It's fairly rusty now after nearly 40 years, and i wish I'd bought the brass one. I usually leave all the char in place in the box and set the tinder bundle on top after I've caught a spark and blow it there, then put the lid right back on to smother it. I also keep other material in the box that will char with every use of the tinder box. I do the same with the altoid boxes. After gardening, some of the old dried pithy stalks ( such as okra and collards) make good char and hold a spark Thanks for the tips and the video
