Midwest Bushcraft: Tarp Versatility
http://midwestbushcraft.blogspot.com/2012/03/tarp-versatility.html
8220;High technology has done us one great service: It has retaught us the delight of performing simple and primordial tasks - chopping wood, building a fire, drawing water from a spring” Edward Abbey. Wednesday, March 28, 2012. A while back I led a program on the versatility of tarps and tarp variants. I demonstrated how to use a parachute as a cooking fly (which did not go perfectly because it was insanely windy that day). Cross-brace and tether in place (Photo by R. Thurman). Photo by R.

8220;High technology has done us one great service: It has retaught us the delight of performing simple and primordial tasks - chopping wood, building a fire, drawing water from a spring” Edward Abbey. Wednesday, March 14, 2012. Just a quick post of a spoon I carved on a hike today. It is made from Common buckt horn (. From tree to what you see here took about 20 minutes. I will sand and finish it tomorrow. Special thanks to Brittney for letting me use the photo. 20 minutes, huh? March 15, 2012 at 5:44 PM.

Random thoughts on axes, knives, axe use, woodworking, bushcraft, wilderness survival, camping, hiking, and gear review. Thursday, June 11, 2015. Trekking Poles and Why I Use Them. So, I did some research and ended up with an older 2012 model of the Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork, which I got at a discount. They did indeed work well as a center pole for the SL3. What was surprising however was that I started using them a lot while walking as well. So, that’s why I started using trekking poles and...

As you guys have probably noticed, I’ve been away from the blog for the past two months. As I mentioned a while back, I was in the process of buying a house, and the past two months I have been moving and getting the house situated. It has unfortunately kept me away from the woods. I had been sick the past few days, and...

Trip Report: Neversink River Fly Fishing 9/27/14 – 9/28/14. Following one of the trails I was able to make my way to the river fairly quickly. I walked along for a bit until I found an area I liked. I put on my waders and wading boots, and set up my rod. I took some pictures of the equipment, and I will do a separate posts about it later this week, since...

Trip Report: Stewart Forest Pheasant Hunt 10/19/14. Rich, I and the dog headed out for another try. The wind was stronger than expected, so we had to stick close to the dog. With high winds the birds tend to spook more easily, and can flush out further away from you and the dog than then ordinarily would. Usually the bird will separate into two parts. On...

Alright, so it’s not exactly DIY, it’s more of a Frankenstein stove. I’m also not sure it qualifies as ultralight, but it is the lightest I have seen. The foundation of this stove was the Fire-Maple Turbo FMS-F5. The stove works just as it did before. The burner is not effected in any way. Tuesday, July 29, 2014. The owners of Bl...

Sorry for the delayed trip report guys. I has been a busy week. This is my trip report from last weekend. It was a busy one, and I covered a lot of ground. It was nice to follow the streams. The weather was pretty warm that day, and having ready access to water was nice. By mid morning I arrived at my destination, which t...
