Hi, my content is wide reaching surrounding our country lifestyle. It involves many topics. I am trying to paint a picture of a life living with nature for an income with our stick crafting. Many thanks. Andy.

@hiddenvalleyfootpaths2561 I know exactly what you mean buddy I'm a Devonshire dumpling 😂 and we need to get out whilst we still can before it's banned

Hi, thanks for watching and commenting, Andy.

Hi , I appreciate your support and watching .Andy.

Hi, The goggle search engine puts us in the top searches for Cornwall hiking sticks it lists contact details for our workshop. Ebay...if i have spare surplus stock.Face book....folklore hiking and country walking sticks. You can trawl through and see our work and contact through messenger. Custom orders are our main income, if you contact me about a stick we can discuss your requirements. A on line shop is fast becoming a priority next year for us.Many thanks for watching and commenting. Andy.

Hi,thanks for watching. Andy.

Hi, I'm trying to keep doing it before I get really too old to do the outdoors stuff. Thanks for watching. Andy.

Hi, I get deer's in the back field at night, but it must be really nice seeing them going to your pond. Thanks for watching. Andy.

Hi, fantastic idea about shoe polish tin. There is a small hamlet at the entrance to this wood but I know all the people as its my local woodland so it's not the general public. This woodland has no carparks for any visitor's, and it's Miles down old County roads. It's own by one of the largest land owners in the UK and hunting community use it regularly. Signs go up when they are conducting shooting. It's more likely a recce for shooting that done it I would guess. Many thanks for watching and commenting. Like the stove idea will make soon.Andy.

Hi thanks for watching and commenting. Andy.

Hi , I use a washer with a hole sometimes, but tracing paper is an option as seen also. One of the things about stick crafting is the different styles of construction. Thanks for watching. Andy.

@@hiddenvalleyfootpaths2561 thanks for these videos andy,they are priceless,i fitted a 4 inch 28mm dia copper tip and i tapped it home witha copper blank,i ak so pleased its a real nice fit,i cant stop looking at it,i am most pleased,i learned how to tap the copper tip home off one of your videos,fantastic

Hi, getting out for a pee unfortunately, is a thing for us older men. I must say it is important to get checked out by the doctor if needed. My sleep system is warm enough, but you're right it's a pain to get in and out of..Appreciate your comment and watching. Andy.

Hi, I am pretty much sorted, thanks. I am testing what I have and adjusting for my needs. Appreciate your comment and watching the video. Andy

Hi, I am not good at this....and there is always something to look at. Thanks for watching and commenting. Andy.

@@hiddenvalleyfootpaths2561 There ya go. Keep making vids I suggest, but realize when you look away, we also seek yor distraction, and for the moment, lose track of what you are saying,only to have it happen again, and soon, so viewer is silently frustrated, losing interest. All you have to do is keep your attention solid on the camera while narrating.

Hi, yeah, you don't have to go out all the time to enjoy camping. Sounds like you had a good experience. Thanks for watching. Andy.

Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. As you say, these explanations have been recounted to me by others' state side.I live the fact it recounts ambush techniques from the civil war era. All the best Andy.

Hi, yeah i am glad. It seems a bit over the top for just a hiking stick dedicated to Bushwhacking. Andy.

Hi, yes, it can. Our laws would be able to test that concept in a court. The world we live in now I am afraid. Thanks for watching. Andy.

Hi, memories last for every. It sounds like you have a few good one's. It's not about how often you get out in nature and the conditions but more the enjoyment of those occasions. Thanks for watching. Andy.

Hi, this sounds like sound advice form a man that had cold feet before and decided to experiment with alternatives. Appreciate the help. Thanks for watching and commenting. Andy.

Hi, thanks for watching. Andy

Hi , thanks for the advice and suggestions. I will look into this..Appreciate your comment and watching. Andy.

Hi, Thanks for watching and commenting. Andy.

Hi, It was a pleasure to bring you along for an evening out in the old forgotten orchard. Jaime said to me....i am turning into a Hillbilly hobo without trying....lol Many thanks for watching. Andy.

Jaime might have a point ...😂 Take care

Hi, yeah they can pull. They will pull you along on a push bike. Yes I have tried it....lol.Thanks for watching and commenting. Andy.

It really is a special place.As it's a forgotten orchard only the wild life use it now for the fallen apples. Oh.and me occasionally. Thanks for watching. Much appreciated.

Hi, The stick that was chosen was relatively large so I made the Crook very heavy duty and chunky. This Crook would need the incredible Hulk to break. In fact, when I tried, it had virtually no give. Preferably, yes, grain up and down .it did add some fantastic visual features, though. Oh this is a working crock and is used every day on the farm. The last time I saw it, it was in a work can being knocked about. Thanks for watching and commenting. Andy.

Hi, we live in strange times and have to adapt to these changes. Your correct almost any thing can become a weapon. Thanks for watching. Andy .

Hi , yes, we are in harvesting season now so stock up in your chosen woods to work with. Thanks for watching and commenting. Andy.

Thanks for watching. Andy.

Hi, Snow is a novelty here but we enjoy it all the same. Thanks for watching and commenting. Andy.

That is awesome! Really pleased you have someone else enjoying and admiring your crafting skills. .Thanks for watching and commenting. Andy.

Hi , I am sure you will be successful as you're pretty determined to get this job done. Be safe and take care. Thanks for watching. Andy

Hi, it was a game changer for me to discover they existed. I only need a small chainsaw, but my friend has the larger models also and they really outperform mine. I guess you got a lot more serious jobs to do than me regarding trees and wood. My accent is sometimes strong and my words and pronunciation are very rural at times.......I guess that's why some people call me a Hillbilly. You are definitely calling these chainsaws by their proper name. Thanks for watching and commenting. Andy.

@@hiddenvalleyfootpaths2561 Thanks, and hi, from big timber Rocky Mountains logging country. One Hillbilly to another: they are a game changer for sure, friend. Klyde.

Hi, yeah I don't have many but they do make a nice hole.Thanks for watching and commenting. Andy.

You can heat up greenwood and straighten it, but as it dries out there is a chance it will reform new curves and bends due to shrinking of the wood. My accent is sometimes strong and I miss words out of sentences that can be infuriating to some people. As you know, once you get a couple of southwest accent people together, it only becomes stronger...lol. They say even if you move away from Cornwall, you never really leave Cornwall in your heart and soul. I hope you are enjoying your time up north and happy crafting. Thanks for watching and commenting. Andy

@ thanks for the info, makes sense 👍

Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. I sell spare capacity on Ebay, but most of my work is from customers contacting me through my Facebook page (folklore hiking and country walking sticks).The Goggle search engine has our Web page and details also and I think we are number one or two in the listing for cornish sticks. Word of mouth has given me plenty of work also. Really appreciate your support by watching the channel. Andy.

@@hiddenvalleyfootpaths2561 Great thanks for reply, I've just got in from work so will take a look now.

Hi, your busy and really got a lot of work lined up. It's nice to have various projects to keep the mind sharp and enthusiasm going. I am the same as you ....the fire wood soon goes away with the cold weather.Thanks for watching and commenting. Andy.

Hi, thanks for your advice. After your comment, I watched myself again and realised you were correct. I was too in-line with any potential kickback. After 55 year's of being safety conscious, I was gutted to pick up a serious injury just from a drill because I let my mind wander off. As you can see thank god I don't have to do tree surgery for a living. I use my chainsaw to clear out small saplings if asked before I am allowed to get my sticks and staves so nothing big or serious. Much appreciate your advice. Thanks for watching and commenting. Andy.

Hi, I have never made a pipe at all. My dad, while he was in the navy did and I remember the old navy gold and olive green tobacco tins the navy supplied them with. I do see the odd gentleman with one and occasional young person at bushcraft events. Infact I have seen the odd chanel on UA-cam with pipes as the main content. Sorry I can't help but appreciate your comment and watching the videos. Andy.

Many thanks for watching. Andy.

Hi, thanks very much for the kind words. I appreciate your support by just watching the videos. I am just a old guy doing simple stuff here in north Cornwall and it's surprises me people watch my content. I hope you enjoy your crafting and time outdoors. Thanks for watching and commenting. Andy.

Hi, yeah its busy and I have to be better at managing my time. Pottering around in my normal style sometimes just does not cut it when things need doing fast or it's a matter of volume. Thanks for watching and commenting. Andy.

Hi, Cornwall is here waiting for your next visit.Andy.

Hi, thanks for the information . As you see i must sort something out soon. Its a bit of a hassle going down to the woodshed. Thanks for watching and commenting. Andy.

Hi, you're very much correct. The army bashan is a great piece of kit. I have used it in the army and also as I do now. I am not sure about tree coverage on certain parts of the West Highland way, so was trying to get a ground floor option. As you have pointed out a tree option would be way better. Appreciate the comments and watching. Andy.

Hi.This experience has made me wonder about the stick items you have suggested also.Mad world we live in now. Thanks for watching and commenting. Andy.
