Who else enjoys walking in a creek? I've always b Who else enjoys walking in a creek? I've always been fascinated by forest creeks and the wildlife that can be found in and around them. I enjoy looking to animal tracks, fish, crayfish, interesting rocks or stones, and seeing the tree roots hanging out of the bank. #creekwalk #creekbed #creekcrossing #creekwalking #creek #stream #streambed #watersedge #hiking #hikingtrail #nature #naturephotography #naturelover #naturelovers #mothernature #outdoors #outdoorphotography #optoutside #outdoorlife #wilderness #wildernessphotography #wildernessculture #naturalist

Check out the newest cast member for my bushcraft Check out the newest cast member for my bushcraft belt. I worked with Jamie of @gillieleather to get this "double mag" style belt pouch made exact to my needs. I'm really excited to get my Leatherman and Flexcut out of my GP pouch and stowed properly without the fear of dropping one of these tools while digging around for tinder. #beltpouch #leatherbeltpouch #leatherwork #leathercraft #bushcraft #bushcrafty #bushcraftkit #bushcraftbelt #bushcraftgear #toolpouch #customsheath #customleather #madeintheusa #madeinohio #ohiomade

The curved Japanese-style (pull saw) blade is sure to make quick work of your campsite firewood needs. #pullsaw #bushcraftessentials #bushcraftlife #bushcrafttools #bushcraftkit #camping #camplife #woodcraft #bushcrafty #campsaw #woodsaw #maplemadebucksaw #maplemade #woodcraftandcamping #campingandwoodcraft #handtool #handtool #outdoortools
Making the ember - a bowdrill story 😅 Here are Making the ember - a bowdrill story 😅 Here are a few images from a bowdrill demonstration I did at the Central Ohio Bushcraft Gathering. While material selection is important, I believe proper form is key to a successful bowdrill ember. Also if your only means of creating fire is by friction you seriously messed up. Carry 2 Bic lighters and some good sure fire tinder always. #frictionfire #bowdrill #primitivesurvival #primitivetechnology #primitiveliving #skillsgathering #firecraft #firestarter #primitiveskills #primitivefire #centralohiobushcraftgathering #centralohiobushcraftgathering2020 #bushcraftgathering #primitiveskillsgathering #survivalskillsgathering #bushcraft #bushcrafty #bushcrafting #wildernesssurvival #firekit #fireislife #carrythefire #carrytheflame
Part A of my shelter demonstration, where I discus Part A of my shelter demonstration, where I discuss the merits of carrying a few shelter components for a just in case emergency. The tripod raised cot shelter can be constructed fairly easily with some cord, 2 drum liners and a small tarp. Items that would easily fit into something as small as a haversack. And it's super comfortable. #centralohiobushcraftgathering2020 #centralohiobushcraftgathering #bushcraftgathering #primitiveskillsgathering #survivalskillsgathering #survivalskills #survivaltraining #survivaltools #survivalkit #survivalgear #survivaltips #wildernesssurvival #survivalist #survivalism #survivalmindset #survivalshelter #tripodshelter #raisedbed #survivaltarp #emergencyshelter #emergencypreparedness

A little project I've been working on. The Native- A little project I've been working on. The Native-American Mocotaugan, or crooked knife, is a unique and useful tool. This pull type knife offers fantastic control while only utilizing 1 hand so you can have the other one on the work piece. I'm by no means a historian on the knife, but it's design and uses captivated me. I commissioned @dwayne_detrick to make the blade to my specifications. I crafted the handle myself. If you want to know more I suggest looking up @zedoutdoors YouTube video on the mocotaugan. #mocotaugan #crookedknife #spoonknife #drawknife #americaknife #carvingknife #fixedblade #knife #knives #knifelife #knifeislife #knifenut #blade #blades #bladephoto #knifephotography #knifestagram
