    Hello my name is Lonnie and My wife is Connie.
    Here at Far North Bushcraft And Survival you will learn about many long forgotten tricks and tips of the old time woodsmen. Not only will you learn about bushcraft / woodcraft but you will learn many things that will help you to survive in less than ideal "survival" situations as well. Come along and sit with me by the campfire as I delve into these subjects in a way that you can easily learn to then do yourself.
    I will show you how to make shelters, gather food, use wild medicines as well as start fires with or without matches, lighters, ferro rods, etc

    At 9:40 I like on the slo-no shot, it shows the pine half splitting apart from the bottom up... really displays the transfer of energy that happens when splitting with a maul (wedge) versus an axe (blade).

    You’re not lying brother. Connie is definitely a keeper. It’s gotta be cold when that snow crunches like it’s doing when you walk on it. I haven’t seen snow in over 18 years. I grew up in Michigan, and now live in Australia with my Australian wifey. She’s a keeper too, my best everything. Couldn’t live without her in my life. Though she is a bit (lot) bossy. Is there any honey bee nests in the walls anywhere? Would a board with some nails sticking up dissuade the bear?

    This video made me download some audio drama episodes of The Six Shooter, as well as an audio drama about an insurance investigator who often finds himself in hot water called Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, and a sci-fi anthology audio drama called X Minus One. I've listened to 4 episodes of each and I've found them delightful! I've always been aware of audio dramas and the golden age of radio, but I had never investigated them. They really are great fun, and they let you use your imagination to fill in all the details, something you don't get with TV. It's a wonderful medium of entertainment that I wish I had gotten into a lot sooner. Thank you for suggesting this.
