Spirited Adventure

I’ve been asked by WoodlandsTV to produce a few films on bushcraft activities for the woods. Here’s the first one I made a short while ago. How I make feather sticks. If you haven’t tried it before you should, it’a a great knife skill to master and an excellent way to light a fire.

Survival Hunter Stag Package. What an amazing bunch of chaps and the Stag. They made it so easy for us to guide them through wilderness skills. The weekend started with a Bush Tucker Trial for the stag. Insects. Splitting fire wood. Loads more still to come. https://spirited-adventure.jimdo.com/our-adventures/hen-stag-packages/the-survival-hunter/

BUSHCRAFT & SURVIVAL in Uruguay.#12 The 3 Stick Friction Fire.

Funny how when you have a plan when you set out, then quite naturally things change and the plan goes out the window, you end up doing something new. Well that’s what happened to me when I went on a forage for large sticks/branches to make new hearth boards for friction fire sets. The forest consisted mostly of Pine and I soon noticed that all of the dead fallen sticks were too small for regular hearth boards. This meant I couldn’t find suitable wood. Had I been in a survival situation I would have failed at starting a fire because I was fixed on only one set up for friction fire. What I should be doing is looking at the resources available and adapting to them. This eventually got me thinking. Can I make a friction fire with only small/thin sticks? This video is my first attempt at this challenge which certainly taught me a lot about adapting to my surroundings and available resources.
