@@sparker68 I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Hollowing with fire is a really useful skill to know, especially if you don’t have the nice tools to hand! It would be cool to try and make a canoe using this method 🛶
nice, I tried doing this with a hook knife the first time, it didn't turn out very well as the curve was too big and wouldn't bite into the flat wood. Using a bit of charcoal to burn it in is a good idea. I only found out later that making that scoop is incredibly easy if you have a gouge. But not exactly stuff you would carry around in the wilderness.
@@MarcusManig Awesome! I’d love to see a photo once it’s finished! The starting diameter is “wrist thick” for me. So I’d go for 4 inches. However the larger the diameter, the easier it will be to burn in the bowl of the spoon. You can also put tue two halves of the wood back together and use them to sandwich the hot coals instead of using your knife! Your knife blade will get very hot, so be carful 🔥 🥄 💚
Thanks for Sharing !!
Keep the skills coming! Would love to see some primitive skills like weaving or flint knapping 🪨
Your channel is a hidden gem and I wish you success

Nice Jess great video 💪🫡
That was awesome Jess. I do carving but do it the easy way with specific carving knives. But using coal was something I never thought of 👍.

@Jess_Outdoors637 That would be cool.
Hi, I do believe that if you hold the coal down with your knife, you might fuck up the tempering on the knife. Cool video though :)
@@Vennesla88 I didn’t think of that! Thank you!
Cool vid 😎
@@KittenKiller-g7z thank you!!❤️🔥

Nothing beats a good hook knife really, cuts the bowl like butter
@katimaboy @katimaboy I do like using a hook knife, but it’s not something I carry in my every day or overnight kit
That's incredible, I'm going to copy that. What was the diameter of the initial hazel branch?
Thank you very much for showing, Jess
