This simply won't do. Had to upgrade my sheath ga This simply won't do. Had to upgrade my sheath game for my shears. So I threw together this leather sheath. I really like how it turned out. I might have to try my hand at wet forming. #leathercraft #leatherwork #leatherworking #leatherstitching #leathersmith #leathersheath #siccorssheath #shearssheath #siccors #shears #diyleather #toolmod #toolsheath #craftsmanship #craftsman #handcrafted #handtool #redandblack

I doubt I'll ever be great, but the sewing machine opens a lot of doors that would be too tedious and time consuming otherwise. The strap in the photo is part of my #frankensteinpack project, more to come soon. #sewing #sewingmachine #singer401a #singersewingmachine #molle #mollewebbing #palswebbing #nylonwebbing #odgreen #militarygreen #selfreliance #selfsufficient #tailor #tailoring #stitched #stiching

How's your solar game? Brushing up on my solar ig How's your solar game? Brushing up on my solar ignition skills while the sun is going down isn't the best time, but these large lens help while the sun is fleeting. When the sun is low the likelihood of solar ignition diminishes, if solar is your primary ignition source it's best to hit that up during peak solar exposure about 10am til 3pm. #firekit #solarfire #magnifyingglass #magnifyinglens #carrythefire #carrytheflame #fireislife #bushcraft #bushcrafty #bushcrafting #campcraft #woodcraft #bushcraftskills #wildernesssurvival #survivalcraft #survivalskills #survivaltraining #survivaltools #survivalkit #survivalgear #bushcraftgear #sunlens

You ever spend a little too much time modifying a You ever spend a little too much time modifying a piece of gear and wonder if maybe you shouldn't use it? Yeah, me neither 😅 The way this turned out wasn't my original vision, but I rolled with the punches and came up with a satisfying solution. You're looking at a modified Husqvarna hatchet. The edge was sharpened, the bit was polished, hammer was tuned up, handle was dyed & charred, and I created a one-of-a-kind leather mask dyed to match. With a little TLC you too can have a killer Swedish handforged hatchet for about the same price as those big box plastic handle types. I'd love to read your comments on this one. #husquarna #husquarnahatchet #husquarnaaxe #axemod #axemask #axesheath #axejunkie #axejunkies #axe #toolhandle #redandblack #bushcrafty #bushcrafttools #toolmod #bushcraft #survivaltools #survivalkit #survivalgear #bushcraftgear #bushcraftkit #leathercraft #leatherwork #leatherworking #leatherstitching #leathersmith #hatchet #handcrafted #handforged #craftsmanship #diyleathercraft

I believe they normally make a series of holes. My hypothesis is this tree's scaring has made for a unique situation. #woodpecker #woodpeckers #woodpeckersofinstagram #naturephotography #naturelover #naturelovers #mothernature #outdoors #outdoorphotography #optoutside #outdoorlife #wilderness #wildernessphotography #wildernessculture #naturalist #treetrunks #treehole #treeholes #forestfinds #forestfind
