Finished up my upcycled 55 gallon blue drum pulk sled. Hoping to put it to good use this season, but the heavy duty drum material will probably last a lifetime or more.

Top 9 time! Are we still doing this? 😅

My first go at rendering some birch oil and tar.

I've had a 1/2 paint can of birch bark sitting in my shop for months. Found it a couple days ago and thought I'd give it a go.

Not a bad yield for what I had. I'll definitely be on the hunt for more birch bark on my next adventure.

Here's something you don't see every day. The remains of an old work truck deep into the woods.

The painted lettering is in remarkable shape when compared to the rusted heap beneath.

These "survival" cards seem to be growing in popularity. I feel most are gimmicky, but a few seem to hold some real application value.

This titanium lock pick card from @countycomm_gov shows promise.

I'd like to hear your thoughts on survival cards?

A few shots from @douglas_s_meyer 's display booth. Mr. Meyer had a larger collection of steel fire strikers, stone tools, bone tools and event tools made from seashells.

This "traveling museum" was awesome. Being able to see and touch many of these items was an experience I won't soon forget.
