    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

      I grew up heating with wood as the only source of heat. Picking up a log like that and then walking away with it... that log weights at least 150# plus! Would not surprise me if it was over 200#! Then add in the cold, which adds more strain to your lungs and body, your muscles...
      You may call him old but I am willing to bet he can out do most twenty something’s and thirty somethings! Went you work as he has to survive it does stuff to you’re body that no gym can do. It is like growing up on a farm all of your life. Carrying water, feed bags, fence post and working taking care of the farm animals. It builds body mass.

    I love these videos. I can actually smell the fire, the wood burning, crackling and it reminds me of my childhood sitting in my parents, grandparents homes in a mining village in Scotland with a fire roaring and keeping us warm.
    Sometimes we just sat around the hearth and kept the TV off and watched the flames dance and shoot the breeze.
    And that's what's missing with society now, we have lost our hearth, the focal point where the family congregated and spoke about whatever came to mind, young minds creating their dreams, and older ones reliving theirs.
    Too many minds are clogged with unnecessary nonsense, celebrity, lying politician, depressing programs discussing drugs, conspiracy theories, wars etc instead of watching the flames dance and creating your own thoughts.

    Lonnie, I spent most of 9 1/2 yrs. in the wilderness in the western U.S. I wintered alone with minimal supplies and gear twice except for my dog. I had no fancy anything and little money at the time and survived mostly by my wits and being really thoughtful about my actions. My last five years I caretook a backcountry cabin on 100 acres that was primitive since it was built around the late 1800's and partially restored. Off grid, oil lamps, wood stoves, water in the creek where I kept my fresh fish. That was all a long time ago now.
    Just wanted to say that I enjoy your video's. You think things through and explain carefufully. You are relaxed and easy to watch and listen to. Thanks.
