EXCELLENT ! " Mtn Mel "- Deweese here in Colorado. Learned my first deadfall trap & twitch up snare from my WW-1 Grandad in 1950. Began my " Survival Instructor" career( 59- 82 ) in 1966 at the Navy SERE- POW camp training pilots , crewmen, , riverboat crews , UDT, later the SEALS, etc. Glad I know, have worked with, learned from , shared with, ( 5 ) of these great Instructors ! Larry D. taught me my first " bow & drill " fire --- while I attended the first " Woodsmoke / Rabbit Stick " gathering ( by Larry and Richard Jaminson) in Diamond Fork, Canyon, Ut. 1978. Jim Riggs, the ABO man - taught me my first hand drill, on and on througj the years ! I was sharing my Negrito P.I. jungle skills - bamboo fire saw, fire plough and the fire piston. It was a true addication for me - learning primitive skills from the EXPERTS. A wonderful comradeship by all. ! Love ya all like Brothers. Mel & Aussie Molly Blue.
Navy SERE school in Naval Air Station Brunswick?
I love bushcraft history and I hang on every word these legends speak.
Am feeling privileged to witness this meeting! I have heard of these people from other Bushcrafters, and survivalists. Their tales of origin into this passionate discipline was captivating. I enjoy the bushcraft as much as the cooking around a campfire. At 71 I hope to do much more of this in a relaxed way without having to do it.
Who else is watching in 2020? Some of these legends are not with us anymore. RIP
Thanks Randy for having the foresight to see the gravity of this conversation to record it and post it for us!
This is a phenomenal group of people and a historic event, thank you for sharing!
Thank you. This was wonderful.
Good to see so many faces that have touched my life.
Thank you for sharing!
thank you for your time and life lesson
I am at the beginning of an obsession and passion for bushcraft. I'm hoping one day to have the honor to meet these fine men.
Go to Rabbitstick or Wintercount or Woodsmoke to a gathering and they will be there.
I founded the Dutch Bushcraft Association spring 2011 as a non-commercial organisation to teach bushcraft to the parents so they can start teaching their cildren again. It is about reconnecting with nature and along the way I found others that liked that idea. This resulted in the American, British, Canadian and Spanish Bushcraft Associations and we are still expanding.
We could use an Ambassador to help us realise our goals of creating Bushcraft Associations all over the world.
Anyone interested?
I just stumbled upon this video. Man, I enjoyed it so much. I love the outdoors also. and have camped and wanting to get back to it again....but, at my age now! he-he. I know the ground will hurt so much if I get down on it. I just might start sleeping in a Hammock instead.
thanks
Hi Mors, won't over certification/formalization squeeze out genuine masters like in this panel? who have no paper certification, yet have all the real/genuine skills and experience and tradition and depth? (I have seen this happen in other industries sadly...)
you guys are amazing I think you guys know more about what's going on in the world than anyone else I'm just wondering who in the group would know anything about Montana cuz I live in Montana and I love the outdoors I go fishing I go hunting I go do all the outdoor stuff but I've never met no one that really knows outdoor the outdoors like you guys do you guys live in the outdoors and so my question to you guys is do you know anyone that could help me learn more about the outdoors in the state of the Big sky country Montana
life lessons history
Mountain man program is one way to keep it going and to expand
Hey great video! I'm still really hoping to get up to you guys this next year and film with Mors. I have the video of Wescott and Holliday up and more are being edited, but my job has put a pause on filming more for a few more months. Then I'll be back at it! Great video.
Any update on when part 3 will be up?
Who is Stewart
56:40 ... *Daniel Carter **_"Uncle Dan"_** Beard*
90yrs old. (June 21, 1850 - June 11, 1941) was an American illustrator, author, youth leader, and social reformer who founded the *Sons of Daniel Boone* in 1905, which Beard later merged with *the Boy Scouts of America* ( _BSA_ ).
*The Book of Camplore & WoodCraft*
----------------------------------------------------
Dec 01/ 1930 :
Hidden in a drawer in the antique highboy, back of the Moose Head in my studio, there are specimens of Indian Bead Work, bits of buckskin, necklaces made of the teeth of animals, a stone calumet, my old hunting knife with its rawhide sheath and - carefully folded in oiled paper - is the jerked tenderloin of a Grizzly Bear !
But that is not all; for more important still is a mysterious wooden flask containing the CASTOR of the scent gland of a Beaver, which is carefully rolled up in a bit of buckskin embroiled with mystic Indian signs.
The flask was given to me as *"Big Medicine"* by Bow-arrow , the Chief of the Montinais Indians. Bow-arrow said - and I believe him- that when one inhales the odor of the Castor from this medicine flask one's soul and body are then and forever afterwards permeated with a great and abiding love of the big outdoors. Also , when one eats of the mystic grizzly bear's flesh , one's body acquires the strength and courage of this great animal.
During the initiation of the members of the a Spartan band of my boys, known as the Buckskin Men, each candidate is given a thin slice of the grizzly bear meat and a whiff of the beaver castor.
Of course, we know that people with unromantic and unimaginative minds will call this sentimentalism. We people of the *OUTDOOR TRIBES* plead guilty to being sentimentalists; but we know from experience taht old Bow-arrow was right, because we have ourselves eaten of the grizzly bear and smelled the castor of the beaver!
I want meet someone at know what
There is so many homeless people living in America now,how can they be taught the skills that are needed to survive?
The biggest hurdle might be convincing people that what you want to teach them is worth learning.
you can learn tge skills needed to survive what is going to happen to this country. Me and the people trained or who study wilderness survival will be the only 1s left
Buschcraft and primitive technology is not new. The words maybe, humans have been doing it for 1000's of years. It's called life.
