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

Every single time, Lonnie, you take the time to explain the various steps, and even the little sub-steps people might miss. You give us the reasons *why* we should use certain techniques, or why we should avoid certain things with specific situations and/or materials. I know I'm not the only viewer who really appreciates your thoughtfulness and your thought-filled explanations. By teaching us the *why*, you teach us to *think*, and that is the most valuable tool in our toolbox, whether we're just having fun bushcrafting, or are in a genuine survival situation. Thank you!

[@Hipppy1001]

Absolutely✅ Making some things seem simple make you want to Try and Do it.💪

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

The ability to "think" or analyze when in a survival situation is almost worth more to the person's welfare than any knowledge they might have. To couple the "thinking" *with* the knowledge, one has a chance of surviving much surpassing those who are missing those assets.

[@Jonessen]

Genau so... Lonnie sei dank das er uns nicht nicht mit 39kg Toolbox "beglückt. Sorry, mein Englisch ist 💩.

[@tikkidaddy]

Very well said sir!

[@svent1000]

You know, to teach something to other people, requier that you completely understand the topic yourself. In that matter, Lonnie really comes true. He knowes his crafts, and that makes him a good teacher. I have lives my life in the nature, so not many people ads knowlegde to me, when IT comes to borreal forrest, but Lonnie sometimes do. And he is fun to watch, be cause he makes friction fires seem easy to make. 😉

[@badbadbob1]

Wow this method works. I see you do 3 things no one else does. Your hearth board is one. It looks like you use the grove burnt before it for the dust to settle in. No burn in on the new notch is another I noticed. That axe set in the tree so you can use the edge to scrape with is simple but very effective. This is why I subscribe. To learn from the Pro. Thanks again Lonnie

[@badgerbush3556]

Valuable information. You are a gentleman and a scholar, good health and long life to you both.

[@davemiller251]

Greetings . . . it's easy to take great camera work for granted. Your videos are steady and use smooth transitions that avoid wild panning and zooming, which makes for enjoyable viewing. Thanks Connie for your excellent camera work!

[@nwprimate6416]

👏 Excellent demonstration and info Lonnie. Making the cordage is the easy part. Making it run smoothly on a spindle long enough to get that ember is something else entirely. 👍

[@walterpalmer2749]

Lonnie, working hard. I like the idea of your cordage tied at one end of the bow but in hand on the other. Reducing tension on the cordage and whole process just makes sense. Also, angling your bow such that the bow cordage doesn't wear, abrade, against itself is a good idea. Good video Lonnie. Thank you.

[@john1972goh]

Very good info for the new ideas for fire making and you're a very respectable person many people will agree with me thank you and always stay strong and healthy!

[@juliecoulson1177]

One thing you do and have is patience. Getting frustrated and quitting is a receipt for failure. Thank You for a great training video.

[@loganholmberg2295]

Lonnie you are the ASMR version of the self reliance nature videos. lol. I could relax and listen/watch your vids all day. :D

[@jonnyboat2]

For a minute there I almost thought we were going to see a before and after demonstration of you with a beard and without it because of that lit tinder bundle. That was a really good video start to finish on using what you have on hand to make a fire.

[@outdoors-z-yz6680]

The details are great. You guys also video all the details and take the time to explain it. Big thanks! Also explaining the reasons why. I'm very grateful. I'm going to give it a try, but, not having any hands nor arms, it will be a challenge!

[@hauki9286]

Lonnie knows his stuff!

[@virginiareid5336]

You are always teaching as you do things. That makes people have a chance to understand what you are doing, how you are doing it, as well as, be able to try it in a proper manner.

[@MichianaFisherman]

I'm not throwing my matches away, just yet! Thanks for great video with such useful information!

Oh yeah never throw your matches away ! They are very handy !

[@scottpreston5074]

Throw 'em away. Live dangerously.

[@weeweesworld1348]

That reverse twist was very interesting. I wasn't sure what it meant. Cool trick with the axe to help get that bark off too. Doesn't holding the other end of the cordage make it tough to handle? I've just always seen this using a bow style with both ends knotted and attached. I tell ya, I learn so much easier watching your videos. Thank you for making them. I know I'm just a girl, but I do like to do these types of things outside...anything outside...when I can. Say hello to Ms Connie for me. I just think she is a strong lovely lady.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

Manually holding the one end of the bow cordage is a bit hard but it also helps to prolong the life of the cordage thus aiding potential success. I passed on the "hello" to Connie for ya. Like "Amanda" said below, you will never be *just a girl.* If it wasn't for you girls, us guys would not be here. And of course visa versa. We need each other. It is the fact that you *ARE* a girl that makes you special. I do like girly girls and manly men and prefer them to be such. On the other hand I see nothing wrong about a female that enjoys the outdoors and wishes to understand nature and it's bounty. I do not find that a contradiction at all. Go for it.

[@pacificbushcraftandfirecra6358]

Pro tips as usual Professor... I have been practicing with an unsecured end of the cordage, It's hard to get the right tension, but once you find the "sweet" spot, it does work well. Thanks for sharing Sir! Cheers

[@Ladythyme]

What can I say that I haven’t already... your videos are right up there with the most informative and easily comprehendible videos around. Thank you for taking the time to be so step by step specific and opening my eyes to so many things! Wishing you both the best!

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Well explained and demostrated as allways Lonnie. True about the spruce roots. Have that issue. Never made this thick willow cord before. Will try some shortly. All the best, Odd

[@user-hz4zy2df8z]

Great video! I have never seen anyone do a bow drill with natural corsage. Last ditch effort for sure. Eagerly await your videos. Bought a big silky saw on your recommendation. I could not be happier! You rock!

[@SwordPlay1]

I'm so excited! *Grabs popcorn*

[@KnifeCrazzzzy]

That tip the bow down for natural cordage is top notch 👊🏻👌🏻

[@WayPointSurvival]

Excellent demonstration! Thanks for all the information!

[@NatesOutdoors]

Awesome Lonnie and Connie,that's something I need to learn is how to braid,I have made several reverse wrap cordage but none that nice looking lol as always awesome video that's full of information thanks for sharing

[@tallcedars2310]

Looking forward to seeing your video. I'm still practicing once or twice a year. Takes a lot of prep work to get materials ready so haven't practiced much in our short window of spring/summer up here.

[@TheFLOMAN76]

No one inhales / exhales quite like Lonnie... LOL! Love it! Thank you sir yet again!

[@frankmertz8366]

Great video, and absolutely love your continuous keyhole hearth board..... The keyhole us my favorite..

[@kjuyfif]

Great tips and vid!! Thanks Lonnie and Connie!!

[@lesdrinkwater490]

Always good to watch. Even just how you hang up your rucksack is something to learn. Thanks Lonnie & Connie

[@terryw.milburn8565]

Really enjoy learning new things from you, Lonnie, I liked how the bark stripped off using the hatchet, I got that 1 stowed away for my next outing ! Great job filming Connie ! Scratch For our Friend Buck ! ATB T God Bless

[@suspectedstar]

[@ganon602]

Another awesome video. You make this stuff look easy! Thank you!

[@spider5001]

Really great video👍🏻👍🏻 i have been able to get a bow drill and also a hand drill. The natural cordage has eluded me though. Thank you for the knowledge 🙂 I’m going to go keep trying💪🏻

[@oldquestant6-238]

Another good one Lonnie. You and a few others in this genre get it when it comes to making a video. The K.I.S.S. applies. One topic and don't get overly fancy. Thanks for another good one.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Twisting rope like that sure cramps my hands, but it is a good thing to know how to do. Great tip on tipping the bow down so the string doesn't rub! I have only made a fire this way once. Usually the string breaks before I get more than just a little smoke. You make this look so easy, but it ain't! Grat video as always!

[@palerider7171]

As always very informative. God bless y’all.

[@willybee3056]

I'm 70,,, but you're the gramps that everyone wish they had... Keep up the good work.
