    You're a great teacher, because you almost always make learning fun. We all enjoy bush craft, so learning about a subject, in which we already have an interest, is naturally enjoyable. Your lessons always tend to lend a bit of polish to an already intriguing topic ... thanks for all you do ... Cheers.

    If you stop cutting before you split the stick, would it work as well without the vine?

    • @HiVizCamo
      @HiVizCamo Рік тому

      Wondering if splitting down only as far as where you want the hinge stick to be, and then still use the vine around the handle to keep the crack from going any further would keep it stronger.

    Dan: "But first you'll need one thing, no two. Two things, no three. You'll need three things to start this project."
    How bout 4 things: You need to start with three fingers to count on... but we covered that earlier in my shaving-with-an-axe video.

    "And this is a potato." Dan always slays.
    But forget 'bushcraft'. This is the single only tool that my wife will allow me to use inside the house for transporting cat-gifts.
    And if she's going to persist in bullying me into that stupid 'second-marriage-but-with-a-prenup' thing, then I either want Dan for my Best Man, or for my divorce lawyer. (...or just expert witness might do??)
    ps: I've gone thru her phone and she doesn't seem to know Dan. So she still believes I invented this gidget. Not sure how Dan would list 'counselling skills' on his resume, but I would def give him an excellent personal reference... or act as character witness if he should ever find himself in divorce court over possibly a cat or fire-tongs deal-breaker-type issue.
