Winter Skills 5 Day

[@sigma3survivalschool]

That is one of the nicest double lean too's I've seen Mike. We don't have to build them quite so fancy down here in the south. I used one up here in NH in January and didn't build it that fancy and was still really comfortable. Love how you built the plaforms off the ground. I think I would have closed off one side on the windiest side of the shelter just to make it a lil toastier. Great job brother, glad to see you making vids again!

We were going to have them make net needles before the section on gill nets, but the day ran late and in to the morning of the last day. We opted to forgoe the net needles and jump right in with overhand knots. It was important at the time to have them well rested for the last day of skills. As it was, we had to cut short making ice lenses for fire making due to time.

It's on our list of vids to make, but with all the classes and the apprenticeship, gardens to tend, and articles to write, time to get through it all is uncertain. What is certain is it will get done. I just hope I'm around to be part of it!

Here is one of our two videos on aking natural cordage, but it isn't the indepth tri-braid technique I think your looking for. "Foraging- Cordage from Plant Skins" is the name of the vid, the second part deals with tree bark and rootlet cordages.

@jzoer392 Hey Joe! When you coming up to play in our neck of the woods? You make the needles for the students and we'll be able to fit it in. As it was, we had to cut ice lenses and some of the tracking short due to time! Hope to see you soon!
