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

Bushcraft Gandalf just referred to Felix Immler as being a 'Wizard'. That's a pretty high compliment from the senior most member of Bushcraft Wizardry...lol

This is the best, most complete, up-to-date and comprehensive toggle video out there at this date. Thank you Lonnie, I learned a few new tricks and re-learned some more. I believe Felix has a PhD in SAKs.

I began this journey, when I met you on KZbin Mr Lonnie. From you, begot Blackie Thomas of Shamans Forge, whom begot Shawn Kelly of Corporal's Corner and Felix Immler. All because of KZbin I can finally tie my shoes. Thank you Mr Lonnie, for you're real life adventures with your partner the lovely Miss Connie. She is dynamite, and can cook!

[@Rick1dat]

You may have had this idea or someone may have already said something. So here it is, you write a book on knots just like you have done here and Connie writes one on her cooking. I try keeping all this in mind and even write it down sometimes but then I forget it or put it in the trash. So you'd be helping me and many many other knuckle heads like myself. With a book I can keep in my pack. Thanks too both of you for the enjoyment I have had over the years. Stay safe.

I have followed Felix Immler for quite a while, his tips on sharpening an Axe or Hatchet using a file and a rag blew my mind when I tried it! His accent is heavey but his English has come along ways from two year ago! He is like a big boy scout! He has a lot of fun making his videos too! I think Slyder28 has a great Idea for a mug, or "Hi I'm Lonnie"

thanks for these tricks! for compression, no need for toggle just use the trucker's hitch! regards from Savoie France.

[@slickwillie3376]

Awesome! Also, when hanging a pack from a tree, instead of running the toggle through the pack handle, you may select a slightly stronger toggle, and hang the shoulder straps directly over the toggle itself. This lifts the pack up and makes it easier to access everything in the pack.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

It depends on where the lift handle is located. On this pack that is shown in the video, I prefer the handle as the best place to anchor it from as it positions the suspended pack better.
