Tools that you can make when first setting up a camp, and Burnishing.

[@NatureInspiredSnipsnSnaps]

These are good tips, you are right often overlooked, and good to remind us about, and never saw the burnish technique being used before so learned something new, this video keeps the mind alive, good share

Forrest wedges are really handy, i use them for splitting off wood for spoon blanks

Just found your channel. Really enjoyed this, my first video on here. Your approach is similar to the ways I learned in a poor, rural area of the US. We were taught to do more with less, and make do with whatever was at hand. I subscribed, looking forward to more from you.

Thanks so much for subbing and commenting. That is what I'm aiming at generally something from nothing, I place little value to money and would ideally live without it. I'm so glad you picked up on this my friend. 👍👍

Nice round up, but I would add a japanese mallet, at least thats where I think it came from. You take a nice weighty fallen of some sort, cut just below a nice solid limb, another cut 4-5 inches above the limb, and your limb acts as the handle, cut this long at first until you trim things down to get a nice distribution. You don't want a limb too inclined upwards in growth but something that was growing more outwards than upwards. This makes a superb mallet with a nice heavy head. You can also burn this dry in the head area and being a joint of organic growth its much stronger than any other makeshift hammer.

@@badgerandthewoodsman I hope the description made sense, pictures are much easier to see it.

[@badgerandthewoodsman]

@8thsinner I think I might have a piece of wood that will do just the job, if not I will find a bit and give it a go 👍 thanks bud
