- The weather is just right to enjoy a day bushcrafting in the backcountry. Come join me & Tig on this silent bushcraft trip. The only sounds you will hear are the animals, river, and sounds of nature.
My bow drill skills are not the best, and conditions were a bit humid, but I managed to get a fire going by suppertime. I grabbed a couple nice slices of wheat sourdough for the food sack before I left civilization. Perfect for my skillet supper. It went great with foraged stinging nettle and scrambled eggs.
I have loved big trees for many years. Big ones grow along this mountain stream. Doublas fir, ponderosa pine, larch, and lodgepole pine to name a few. The sound of the wind in their tops and the flowing water is rejuvinating for me. I needed this.

The vision of you hatless is only surpassed by the beauty of Tig laying in the high grass!
Came back to watch this again a couple of more times. So much good stuff packed into this video. One of my favorites for sure.
Thank you, Dave. That was such a nice spot and a fun trip!
Very nice my friend😎
Another peaceful, educational, and really well done video. That stream was raging! The bow/drill is a great skill to have. Your camp cookin' is always a treat. You and Tig did a fine job with this outing!
Glad you enjoyed it, Pine. The sourdough grilled cheese definitely hit the spot. This is spring runoff time. The sound of the rapids really soothed my soul. Peace and good health to you.
What an absolute,wonderful video.. the water ,mountains and camp scene.. all are equivalent to a great day ..
I think the next one needs to include a fishing catch and cook..😊..
as always Onward and Upward is the Watchword..
Trout catch and cook is one of my favorite meals. Thank you for watching. Have yourself a great week, my friend.
Hello my good friend
It was very brilliant content.
Great filming
Obviously, a lot of work has been done on the editing and it is very wonderful
I hope you continue to be successful🌹🌹🌹🌹❤❤❤❤❤❤like51
Thank you for watching. Come again any time!
Good video. That is such a good girl!
I really look forward to your videos Kevin and another great one! I've noticed I always learn from them and this time (even in silence) is no different. I have yet to be successful with a bow drill but I don't use fat wood for a base or spit between the spindle and block. Great work and thank you for teaching us even when no words were spoken Not too many people on UA-cam can do that in my opinion and thank you again!
Thanks a lot, Dave. I really appreciate your comments. I used partially decayed alder for the hearth and spindle. Aspen and poplar work good. The bearing block was fatwood, and spit helped some. I was impatient, and almost lost my ember. My materials were a bit humid, which is a challenge. The osier dogwood bow was flexible and kept the tension nicely. I might do a beginner bow drill video soon, with some instruction. It is a fun skill to have!
@@WestForkWoodsman Thank you for that insight Kevin and I didn't realize that the fatwood was for the block - shows you what I know. Keep up the great work and looking forward to more!
What a nice outing. That bow drill stuff is not easy - I'm far from mastering it. What a good pooch! Great supper....not sure about those greens though. haha Be blessed!
Thank you for stopping by. I'm far from mastering bow drill, too!
Outstanding! As always. Your wardrobe people nailed it with the hat.
Is that a saber grind on that knife or tall scandi? Great looking knife.
It looks like I need to get over soon or I'll miss spring. How are the ticks this year?
The spoons are holding up and performing well. What species did you use for the fireboard? I need to hone my stove cooking skills. You've inspired me to try something beyond just boiling water.
Another antler too!
Ha! I will let my set-dec team know they are doing alright! The knife is a Jaarvenpaa Laplander Puukko. Scandi grind with a micro bevel. It will eventually be flat for finer carving. The knife is great. We got into a bad mess of ticks in the Similkameen and Sinlahekin, but in the hills around here, it's been fine. Cold at night helps. The fireboard and spindle were alder. I've had real good luck with that and aspen, but this time things must have been a little damp. I should have been patient and did some drying cycles. I got a tiny ember, and it took a long time to build a coal. Sure looking forward to your next video, especially if it's up at the cabin!
I am very curious of what kind of dog you have? I had one a long time ago that looked a lot like your pup.
Tig is a yellow labrador retriever. She works with us in our shop every day, and she's so gentle. Great dogs!
Want Sarah let you stay at home?
Yeah, Woolly, she lets me. I've always loved bumming around in the woods!
