I’m 74 and just getting started.
Good for you, David!!! Bushing will keep you young! Keep moving and give yourself something to look forward to; that's how you stay in the game.
You're never too old to enjoy the Great Outdoors! Congrats and enjoy!
Ok boomer
Franio LOL
Fantastic! Better late than never. It will keep body and mind much sharper than watching other people do sports on TV while gobbling potato chips and TV-dinners. If you have grand children, it is a great way to do some bonding with them while teaching them all kinds of interesting stuff. It will give them great memories and skills for the future.
1) knife
2)flint and steel
3)rope, twine, cordage
4)needles
5)old pot
Thanks for the awesome video!
I prefer fresh pot hehe
@@katotornado4312 Lol!!
Why needles?
@@jesuschristiskingandsavior461 fixing your gear, things tear in the woods.
No tarp?
I’m 76 and still out there!
The four critical ancestral skills are edges, fire, cordage and containers. aka flintknapping, fire kit from the landscape, stringy bits, and weaving. With these, you can make your own “5 C’s” from just what you find. Cooking without a pot, make wild crafted pottery, and the hunter-gatherer mindset will come as next projects. Enjoy!
From age 6 up I so frequently played and camped with the clothes on my back, a pocket knife and various means to start a fire. Sleeping in debris shelters is good. Throwing sticks and homemade gigs provided well. As my 7th grade art teacher said, “Simplicity is the elegance of design.” At almost 68 I recognize that the number 1 bushcraft “skill” is attitude.
ALMOST 68? Man your just a kid. Im a LOT older than you, I'm 69😇
Amen Brother! ...Ancient of Days!
Awesome. Very inspiring 😊
Very well said.
@@phillipdavis5241 age is a state of mind. I see the eyes through the eyes of a 12 year old, have the energy of an 18 year old and the older gentleman is able to make a diplomatic withdrawal should the situation merit it. That, and my 50 years of martial arts experience and my 33 years on the reserve roster as a medic with 🇬🇧 Paras. I have been since 2005 a registered Saharan guide in Mauritania. 🇲🇷
5 items a bushcrafter needs..... 1. An understanding wife, 2. Free time, 3. A large storage area for the ever-growing kit you acquire, 4. A strong will power to stop upgrading the kit you are acquiring, 5. To be subscribed to Coalcracker Bushcraft :)
Hmmmm, 1, 2, 3...those are some tough ones!
How about a wife that joins in? Guess we don't all like the outdoors tho....
@@rld1278 i feel the same way, Robin :-).
I'm the world worst about about upgrading! I could camp Lee's infintry!
Fest Adams well said lol
I'm 34 and I've been year round camping and fishing all my whole life. I love watching these types of videos. My dad always told me, no matter how old you get and how much you think you know, you'll always be surprised at new techniques you can learn from other people.
That is the essence of what Dan was trying to describe at the beginning of the video. Why people watch this video, what they want to know. Because everyone who is searching for knowledge will always find it. Thanks Dan.
1. Fixed Blade knife, Mora Companion HD is fine
2. A ferro rod.
3. Get your ass outside in the yard and practice with that knife, and practice fires. Congrats, You're bushcrafting. The rest can be built on in time. The knife and basic fire are core skills.
Need to put a 90 degree spine on your Mora first. Get a Mora Garberg instead
I just discovered Mora. They're amazing
@@cocovasquez1 Or a bushcraft black
ferro rod & knife > every oteher item. However followed closely by axe and rope
I purchased that same Gerber and thus far it's been a really good tool.
I still like Dave Canterbury's 5C's. Cutting tool, Combustion, Cordage, Container, and cover. The most difficult things to reproduce in nature .
He's got four of the first 5 C's. Then he has needles, which are in the second 5 C's (cargo tape, cotton bandana, compass, candling device and cloth sail needle.)
the 5 Cs of survivalibility is not the same as a bushcraft gear load-out. some of those items can be in the gear load-out, but bushcraft isn't survival. notice the key term "hobby" in the video. the 5 Cs could easily bee apart of his gear, but that's not what this video is about... it's about why you went into the woods in the first place, (at least one of the reasons) not how to remain safe and alive until you get rescued.
@@Woodchuckinthesouth Thank you.
Cool. So, I'm wondering how you are going to go from camping in Big Bend to surviving there with the 5 C's. This ain't the forest, kid's.
@@hadmatter9240 good question. Here's the basic explanation.
The body needs the same things regardless of what "attitude" you use when in the wilderness. Having the right tools to supply those needs is important. That being said, it's the individual person's knowledge, skills, and experience that makes for a difficult ordeal or one of "inconvenient camping". (Notice I didn't say anything about equipment) the fact that we have aboriginal skills from across the globe prove that it's not about the tools.
After watching your video I got this image of a hobo stick bag which is also called a "Bindle" and these types of hobos were also known as "Bindlestiffs". Many also carried a bed role on their backs like a makeshift backpack. In these bandana bags were a pocket knife, canned food, a deck of cards, matches, and possibly an extra pair of socks. Having been on some hunting trips where we were walking many miles in wet condition coming back to camp and having an extra pair of dry socks was a real treat, we were always drying out wet clothing to hopefully be used again the next day or two.
If you just listen to this without looking it sounds like Alan Alda giving bushcraft advice.
Sort of
I love how easy you made this way too many gear junkies out there. Thanks bro.
Yeah I saw one guy here on YT who takes all these NON essentials crap.
go to gearist house see all their nice new clean shit. pass judgement on the turd who never uses it
@@thomasfarmer1730 just 1?
I like dental floss. You can sew things and it never breaks. I sewed a dog collar to fit my dog because he pulled so hard it would loosen the collar. The collar gave out before the floss did!
I really think a DIY foldable hand saw from a hardware store (less than $10) would be better than an axe for most beginner bushcrafters. It allows you to cut small branches for fire wood and even a survival shelter and is a good tool for a back pack if you only had a small pocket knife (e.g. Swiss Army) with other handy tools on in your pocket.
I don't even know what bushcraft means any more. I just hike and try to make myself comfortable and save in the woods. My list of items.
- tarp
- knive
- rope
- radio
- plant recognition software
- beer
- poncho
- umbrella, also for sun or privacy screen
- water filter
- thermos flask, cold or warm water
- bush saw
I personally really like having a hatchet or a fixed knife to split wood. But I'd like to learn more about knots, making medicines, and I hadn't even thought about sewing, but that really could come in handy.
Really liked your collaboration with Townsends...Keep these awesome videos coming, thank you for what you do...
Townsend’s is what introduced me to your channel. I agree. I enjoyed the collaboration.
I love that you're also an axe man. Lol I have people ask me at work, what one thing I'd want in a survival situation. I'm sure you've heard it too. "You only get one item." And I get such weird looks when I say hatchet. Preferably "my hatchet." You talked about restoring an axe. Made me smile. Cuz I modified and restored an old roofing hammer, they were going to throw away, when cleaning out my wife's grandma's place. Kinda made it a bearded axe style. LOVE that thing. Not too heavy. But still has some ass to it. 😏 I can use it like a knife. I can use it for defense, if needed.
👊 love the vids bubby. 🍀🍻
Take a hike !
Each time I go out I find something I no longer need and something I do, so next time I have it.
Experience is the best teacher...
I have always found myself to be the one guy at camp who likes to do things more traditionally. I'd rather process my wood for feather sticks and make a birdsnest and then use a flint and steel vs pour some gas on wood and throw a match. I suppose that's how I found your videos about a year ago. I am always trying to improve my skills so I can then do it with my kids. Your bushcraft videos are without a doubt my favorite. You present information perfectly in a way thats easy and enjoyable to watch and it's been a great source to help me better my skills efficiently. Thank you sir!
One thing you missed on carrying a set of needles is add on a "sailors thumb" makes life a damned simpler when trying to thread through something difficult /thick , a small cube of beeswax is also handy for lots of uses.
Your approach is the best version of our interest in the top 5...
I have made a “hunker down” belt kit from a army medic pouch. By memory it contains, a multi tool, a signal mirror, water purification tabs, magnesium fire starter, 550 cord, 1200 calorie bar, space blanket.
The idea is to be able to hunker down for 24-48 hours while waiting for rescue. It presumes I have a water bottle. I always have a folding knife.
Just enough to make a fire and a tripod windbreak/sunscreen, and get water.
I am not an expert, but I would recommend taking half of whatever your knife budget is and buy a sharpening kit with that half. Bushcraft can be hard on a knife, and a dull edge is not always obvious and can be frustrating. If someone is buying their first kit it is, as you say, equally important in being able to repair and maintain that gear. That means a sharpening kit (and a bottle of oil, food-safe if you do food prep). And I wouldn’t assume that just because someone has been outside he or she will have such a kit.
I carry a piece of aluminum oxide cloth(sanding belt)for such purpose
($.0) also as being a knife guy all my life iv learned how to sharpen a blade on many different surfaces
Anything from a piece of steel,a rock
Or even tempered glass or a ceramic cup,...
As always...its not the equipment but what you have between your ears
Thanks for the tips. My answer is yes yes and yes. LOL
I’ve spent time in the woods hunting fishing hiking etc. my son is interested now so finding this channel allows us to learn a lot of new stuff.
It started for me as soon as dad gave me a knife and I was able to outrun mom.. mom was young and fast, so I was about 7.
As an adult my first intentional "bush" purchase was a good pack, its a must to haul around all the other stuff we collect.
Without a good comfortable pack everything else is 70% burden 30% asset.
lucky for you I found an old full sized axe with a rotted handle chillin in the backyard of my new house. had been out there in the elements for maybe a year. And a month later of restoration and shes good as new
Great vid. Will agree with a few comments here -- #1 Survival Skill is Attitude. Even if you don't have exactly what you need, you got that positive vibe in nature that will help you through the rough times. As you've seen in survival shows -- once you loose that good vibe with nature no amount of excellent gear will help you.
What I really need is some more Cooking with Coalcracker. I need more camp recipes to impress my city friends.
The first things I bought were a good knife, stainless steel bottle and cup kit, cordage, ferro rod, and a decent pack.
I used a cheap tarp and sleeping bag I already had. The tarp and sleeping bag were the first things I upgraded.
So now it's about a year later. I got a hammock, under and over quilts, and a tarp made to accompany the hammock. I also got a backpacking tent and inflatable pad.
I used the tent once, I found I much prefer the hammock.
Thank you for the update Jonathan
As a swede, I love the fact that the mora knife is mentioned. It's a very good knife and perfect really...
Greetings from the US ✌💚
@@JohnSmith-cc3ud Thanx ;) The funny thing is, the knife is so common a brand in peoples mind here that the knife isn't really seen as a “serious knife”. It's really a very good knife and as long as you take care of it, well, it's all the things you need from a knife.
Reminds me when I was an officer in the special forces here in Sweden and we where issued a new type of thermos flask from army supply. We found the new flask not to be up to standard, didn't really keep up to what we needed. It broke easily and didn't keep whatever you filled it with either cold or warm. It just wasn't good. We felt we needed something else. So instead of just complaining about it, we did what we where trained to do; sort it out yourself. So we officers gathers together a host of different brands of thermos flasks from different stores and tested them, tested them for how they held up to what we needed from a field use perspective. Remember, we officers paid for expenses ourself, this wasn't something we could expect to be given the blessings from the army or something. The test was easy enough we thought, we only really had three parameters. The thermos had to be durable, withstand whatever abuse was thrown at it in the field, and they had to keep liquid warm if needed and cold if needed for as long as possible. Easy right?
So after a few weeks we gathered up the results, different thermoses having been tested and evaluated for their individual performances. And we had a winner, one flask stood out. It held up and could take the beating in the field, kept liquids warm if needed and cold if needed. It was really a very good thermos. Really good. The brand? Well, to our surprise, it was the IKEA thermos, the least expected one. We had only got it as a sort of half-joke, the brand IKEA not really being associated with the great outdoors and whatever it meant being in the special forces. But as curious little schoolboys do, we had thrown it in just for the fun of it. And we had to cave in to the fact that yea, it was outstanding really. So in the end we learned what we really knew from the start; don't judge the book by its cover.
You never know when you are going to need to initiate a survival situation, so the best place to carry your survival kit is between your ears. That said, the best survival advice is, REFUSE TO DIE! never underestimate the value of orneriness a a survival tool. This from a guy who caries a compact multi-tool, a small Swiss Army knife, and a lighter every waking moment (and they are in my pants pockets at my bedside when I sleep).
I agree if I leave the house without a pocket knife a larger knife on my belt I feel naked something is missing
A guy without a pocket knife is not a man
@@johnswanson3741 I carry one too, but I stand by my statement. In increasing order of importance, the three key types of survival gear are tools, knowledge and will.
My kit rides with me everyday.
Hi I'm a retired Army veteran I carry flint&steel everyday
I hunted several times with an old retired commercial deer hunter in New Zealand. There was someone who had harvested over a thousand deer in his career and knew the ins and outs of the bush. He told me his favorite knife was an old 50's era Puma folding pocket knife, not one of the new expensive ones, but one with the sheet steel handle that you could buy for a few quid before they were chique and expensive. He told me what was important was the quality of the steel blade. He also preferred a folding knife, because of the rough terrain he trekked, where a fixed blade might mean a serious injury in case of a fall as well as the weight factor. His weighed a few ounces. This was from someone who had been there and done that.
At last! A "Bushcrafter" type person who actually knows what a Bic lighter is! Wow! We make progress. And yeah, there are times and situations where an axe is a jolly good tool to have around the place. Yet again, it depends on the scenario under discussion. There are plenty of outdoorsy situations, where one can get by quite comfortably without an axe, and where alternatives exist that are easier ( large camp knife, Silky saw, wedges, etc). Thanks for the video. Keep it practical.
I was a Cub Scout, then a Boy Scout and always looking for ideas. I'm now 66. I have an old hatchet that was my stepfathers. It's really hard steel. My main knife is a Buck. I have more than one type of fire starter.
I started Bushcraft in Boy Scouts so I started with a Swiss Army Knife, ferro rod, paracord, sleeping bag, giant tarp, mess kit and water bottle.
I was boyscout back in the 80's. my ex lost my boy scout handbook and I can't afford to replace it right now :(
Be Prepared.
@@TheStraycat74 Try Amazon lots of scout handbooks 2nd hand going cheap. The modern ones from the UK are n't value for money! Also Ray Mears ' Bushcraft books can also be foudly cheap there. Hope that helps
Rock hammer making caves .
Nice brother, was in Scouts down in Florida and can agree on that. Except my troop brought out the bowies and tomahawks when other troops weren't around ;) hahah
@@danielsterling4918 Same here. My kukri always went along for the ride. 🤟
Gear is always changing & evolving, but the practicalities never change. At least one sharp object depending on the task, fire starters, materials to keep you warm & sheltered, and food-related...yaknow, all the things that most people take for granted these days. 😏
"Somewhat bush craft", that's me, I'm just learning, so thank you!
I agree with the making your own stuff motto. I made a haversack out of a burlap coffee bean bag and I love it. Its holding up well and allows me to carry just what I need at camp. I think it adds an extra sense of accomplishment as well.
OG coalcracker here again thanks for the diversion during these times. Hope you and your family are safe! And I hope you enjoy it
Thanks, Dan. I appreciate how you create context for your content. Starting at 68. Moving to country soon, and I want to enjoy it.
i love the way you teach. Very pedagogical.
On the needle thing. Lots of people suggest different types so my suggestion is to take a look at the jerk needle. It’s not a needle for making clothing but if you’re working with leather, canvas, etc it’s fantastic!
I so love it that you did that video without pimping any gear! So many channels are pushing gear way too much
Add to Needles a Japanese thimble and leather gloves, (since viewers won't know where to find a sailmaker's thimble). Adjust that thimble to use with a thinner leather glove or a leather palm cover. You want to protect your hand from the back of the needle, (and the risk of a broken needle).
Just found this channel recently...it's awesome!!!
hi im Caleb turning 13 august and when i was 10 i was really fascinated bushcraft since then i have learned to trap hunt and live i
live on a 30 acre piece of land where i can do all of my camping hunting traping i know not many people like kids on this platform or commenting but this video was wonderful god-bless
I would add a good compass, but all in all a good list to start with.
A real map is an essential item with me. A good compass and backup goes with it, but I can do quite a lot more with a good map and no compass than the other way around.
Also, I've seen far too few outdoors folks who are willing these days to even learn proficient map/compass skills. You mention declination and you get a deer in the headlights look. The current generation is so fully dependent on their "smart" (and fragile) devices and apps to save them - it's both pathetic and sad.
I like this video because it’s not focused on just surviving it focuses more on different skills you need and stuff that’s fun you could have just said axe tent Ferro rod first aid and wool blanket
I'm teaching other preppers to prep. I'll use this video in my workshop.
We used to call 'bushcraft' camping.
Thank you! I have been wondering where that term came from, and why don’t they just call it camping, or being an outdoorsman?
That’s what it was when I was a kid growing up in the cascades. I’m not even that old...
hell when i was a kid it was called boy scouts
Outdoor Life
I used to call bushcraft dating
Hello there, I'm using this current quarantine situation to really dive into researching necessary skills that i think i lack. I just found your channel last week and it's been an essential resource for me, you're an excellent speaker/teacher. A lot of channels (and websites, even books) often overwhelm people like me with a hardcore dump of information, which leads to confusion about what's really important.. your step by step concise approach to teaching has been invaluable to my being able to transition from a basic understanding of hiking/camping to the more advanced survival skills I've been finding here. Thank you!
Knife , rope, axe, fire starter, water filter, tent, sleeping mat , sleeping bag, backpack + knowledge 🎉🎉🎉
I honestly didn't know that what I do had a name until a couple of years ago. Bushcraft to me is just living off the land, though it covers a lot of other stuff like gear joices and improvements. Keep focused on packing things that you can't reproduce in the wild and make the other things in the woods. And there you go, BUSHCRAFT!
Your a Spaceman!!! {think the song about Dick Clark} 67 are you kidding me. You look so much younger. Would never have guessed. Keep doing what your doing.
Great product pitch Dan. No sarcasm. Described the problem and presented your solution. Love the product. On the list for the next batch. 👍
Very helpful. Glad you say to those not listening I have too listen over and over.
I like some sewing lessons. I better be nice have woman help me
You're the man, Dan
Thanks you’re bang on with the must have gear. 🇨🇦👍
I like your list of 5 items. I probably would swap out the steel & flint for a ferro rod. It makes me think I need to spend some more time developing more sewing skills and updating my needle set. Great presentation. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to your next one. Cheers from down under.
The Stanley little cook set is almost always on sale for $9.99 n is awesome for almost all outdoors cooking situations. It also lasts for years. Perfect for peo just starting out really but for everybody (except the ultra lite peo) I even use mine at home for some things. It's that convenient. Just an inexpensive tip. The same items in titanium would be over $100. Good gear doesn't have to cost ridiculous amts. Great vid, peace brother.
Once again, SUPER NICE video man! Thank you very much!!🤘🙂
OK, my 70 yo NYC born husband grew up there and in the woods. Swiss Army knife the middle sized one that has a saw, sizzors, tweezer, toothpick, awl, two blade two screw drivers. You can build a house with this thing alone. Pocket ceramic sharpener, hatchet and either a firestick or piece of flint. But just a Swiss Army knife you can build a shelter, make a bow drill weaving plants fiber to make your bowstring and spindle to make a fire. He thinks the Model is called the Master.
My Estwing Hatchet was always on my side in the woods as a kid.
I like that you change your thoughts a lot. Its like updating and a key for improvement
Excellent video... I’m recommending your channel to those who ask me about getting started with the ‘survival’ lifestyle.
I have been using flint and steel since I was 8 years old (1967), and it’s my favorite fire medium.
I would add one more thing to your cordage lineup:
Jute twine is an excellent tinder.
All of my lanyards are Jute.
And I have Jute wrapped around many things in my kit (handles, ferro rods, etc) or just wadded up in the open areas of small bags.
Twisted and braided, Jute is more than strong enough for anything you want to carry around your neck.
To Answer the question at the beginning of this video, is
(yes to all of it).
I believe you got a little bit of different for everyone, looking for ALL that kind of stuff. I know what I like to carry, over the years I've changed a few things not much. A lot of the stuff I was carrying just out of common sense
(to me) before I watched any formal survival Bushcraft videos. But I spent a lot of time in the woods with my grandfather watching what he would bring his pocket hunting fishing, then my own experiences ending up not having certain things I needed. Or ideas on stuff that would make my life easier while I was out.
Love the video👍
Playing with knives can be dangerous
To make sure it does not happen again and cut fingers I got myself one of those butcher whire mesh gloves
Let the show begin😁😁
I’m a woman and never went camping, (what a loss) but I am happy to learn as I find these interesting. Thanks for the wonderful information
I love how I just finished trying to restore an old hatchet. Project 1, check.
Good job, and thanks for sharing your videos.
I have had good luck with a metal band aid box, for making charcloth. And I didn’t even have to put any holes in it...
Tanx man....
Did it take a lot of times to burn off the outside paint?
@@kidbach
Not really, on the band aid box.
But in the total scope of things, , out in the woods,, on the coals of a camp fire,, ?
One of my favorite channels. Thanks for all of your info. I love the info and teaching. Each piece of equipment is dependent on the person. Thanks again.
Good video Dan. Stay safe.
You need too bring along a wife so she can straighten out that collar 😉
A wife takes up too much,space in your pocket. And you might not be wrong when you talk to yourself without a woman to hear you. Food for thought...
@@mattmillus2281 Hey, a Wife who is 'into it' with you can add a lot more good to a great experience!
I bring mine along to stay at camp and do the camp dishes!
Lol
@@ryangaunt6843 I bet its actually the other way around, I bet she comes back to camp with a string of rabbits and a nice big trout. And you make sure all the dishes are clean
Cordage, if you want something extremely strong, checkout Samson Rope. I use 7/64” size - about the size of a shoestring - it is 1400 pound test.
Knife, fire kit (ferro rod, char, fat wood etc cotton balls/vasoline), Axe/BIG knife (BK9). cordage, oil skin tarp (10X10)
Love it, i often look at bushcraft as a "life n death" "shtf" situation overlook the importance of simply having different ropes and simply applying them... i just throw 550 and fishing line in my pack and assume im set...
Personally I use a ferro rod for fire over flint and steel. F&s is just too picky about needing charred material to work. You can add a flint as backup to it if you want to practice with it. My opinion for what it’s worth.
It's good to *learn and practice* with flint and steel because if all else fails, you can scrounge around for flint, using the back of the knife blade as a striker
After i learned handdrill firestarting skill (which i always want to learn) i realise --- all other technic are useless (almost). ))))))
Exсept fireroll fibers.
Awesome video Dan.......i agree with your approach!
Very good ideas, Thank you very much
I'd recommend a compass instead of the needles. You can get lost on your first trip out in the bush. Without one, it might be your last trip.
Yep. And communication. There's no use for cordage, needles or flint and steel
I rescued two elderly ladies in the woods about 25 years ago and this was their first adventure hiking. They were on a trail that is less clear the farther that you go. They had spent the night on top of a big rock praying and singing gospel songs which made the coyotes curious and they came and surrounded the rock and howled all night. When I found them they were so traumatized and exhausted. I took them back to their car and when they saw their car they wept. I felt so sorry for them !
@@garyminick1050 If only they had a loud whistle to attract attention.
@@garyminick1050 silly hens should stay home, lol
I love the outlook and explanations of why!!! One more reason I love this channel!! Solid advice sir!!
I always start out my bush crafting/survival items low-budget first, then I upgrade. That builds redundancy into my system, and I can always give my older (less desirable) items away to my friends and kids to get them started.
"When you start to get into like boiling water" LOL. I learned to boil water in college. So I had boiled eggs at b'fast and pasta for supper. Saved a sauce jar for my drinking glass. I guess I was "bushcrafting" in a way back then.
You learnt to boil water in college? I pray to God you didn’t.
Great information as always my friend 👍 we really need your videos while we're locked down. Blessings to you and your family 😇
I love how you put thought into thinking about who is asking the question and why. I love that you show that we can be both cerebral and cool. Thank you for that.
There is something to be said about hanging out with nature, no boom boxes, guns and screaming and yelling.
I have been close enough to wild turkeys to hand feed them. My tent was pitched where they all gathered first thing in the mornings.
Unfortunately I'm the same area, at night coyotes also got very close.
I am a new fan of yours catching up with your videos. You are awesome
In case you're in a hurry the top 5 are:
1. Knife
2. Flynt and steel
3. Rope
4. Sowing needles
5. Pot or cooking vessel.
I’ve been camping my whole life but my father never really taught us much. I love the outdoors, and I’ve been getting out much more. I started a little bushcraft project last time, whittling some cooking spoons.
Just ran across this. Love the analysis and rationale about an axe. Excellent advice imo.
Will never forget the first time I successfully started a fire with flint and steel and natural tinder, and the first time I used a bow drill to start a fire. Awesome feeling.
As for needles big fan of sailing needles in three sizes for this.
Stay well, thanks for the video.
Loved the recap.
Great video as always. Thanks for making it.
This question is like " How high is up?" An important idea is to find out what should I use for what projects. The word "CONCEPTS" is why I like your videos. Good Journey Richie
The first 'C' is cognition. Your mind is the first and most important tool in the wild.
How about Conception? You gotta get born first
@@CorePathway You're not responsible for that. Let's work with things we can effect, like condition, care, confidence, communication, and the like.
Ever instead of Every in the title. I am on the like the outdoors but flat broke category. Cheers from North, Columbia County PA.
Love your passion and great stuff!
I'm going to point out the obvious here... This is a fantastic channel!
thank you for sharing, Coalcracker
