This week we are out and about on the land collecting birch bark to make birch oil. No chatting, just collecting, no music, just sounds of nature. Part 2 we will make something cool!

We filmed this video on October 31st, but haven't had the time to edit till today, but it is a fun one! Jordan and I go hunting! Check out our bounty!

And to complete the circle of Plantain, Brenda makes a lotion or cream out of the plantain!

This week Brenda demonstrates a different way to make a gel using Sodium Alginate as the thickener for a beautiful Marshmallow and Oat Gel. Come check out our courses if you want to learn more! mahikan.ca/workshops

We are doing 3 videos on making a few different products. 2 Gels and 1 cream or lotion. On this first video Brenda makes Plantain Gel to combat those itchy mosquito bites!

Finished the Capote! A few more tweaks and got it finally!

This time I am learning that the pattern is even less clear than I thought. But spoiler alert, I get through it with a little more thought and considerations.

This week Brenda makes a Capote for a friend. A real learning journey and good fun to make! Enjoy part 1! Part 2 will be out next Sunday and 3 will be out the week after! In the mean time, thanks to Dwayne for his awesome music! Check out his RUclips channel here: ruclips.net/channel/UCD_wfGMTaM1ENq37hPcib4A

This week our buddy Robb from Bearpaw Bushcraft comes out to help us take some trees down. We have to get creative, some of the trees we just don't want to put the saw onto them, they are really rotted and unstable!

This week Jordan begins the process of preparing the garden with a little help from a few friends

Our next video we use the Birch Water and Poplar buds to make some soap. This is not a DIY, but we will be doing one of those coming up in the next few months.
