I swear, every time I see your dog in a video my heart starts skipping and I want to yell out "watch out for the bear!" Then I realize its just your big beautiful dog. Gets me every time!
Always loving the pace of your videos. Many bushcrafters rush things or cut up their video so that people who don't pay attention still get the information, but your videos are always chilled, laid back and not rushed at all. A nice change and opportunity to get some of that calm in my mind as well ;)
there is a diversitiy of gifts but of The same Spirit, praise The Lord God for connie receiving the blessing of comliness! The Father and The Son are as One and He is worthy of all the praise, honor and glory!
Am I the only one to cut wonderful "spirals" when I try to cut around a log? LOL. My grandmother told me wood warms you 3 times, once when you cut the tree once when you work the logs and the 3rd time when you burn it. Bless her wisdom I do miss her now
I made a couple of the second kind of maul with a downed red oak that was across a bike trail I was riding on. I batoned the handles down a bit then carved them with my knife for comfort. Cleared the trail and made something cool :)
Its a pleasure to watch. I like the fact that's its not just another one of those string up a tarp and gather firewood videos. There is a longevity to this style of bush craft, a means to make a situation more comfortable when out in the wilderness. Being able to manufacturer simple but effective tools would certainty lift your spirits in a survival situation, or a long spell camping.
My hat's off to you. Two more fine , enjoyable and as always highly educational learning lessons on how to live practically, safely, and ecologically in the frigid Northern Woods. I find your teaching style ideal- unflappable, crystal clear,economically sound, easy-going, stepwise fashioned manner ideal for me. Thank you and may you continue happily, and safely: Your days, blessed.-Po.M.
Always enjoy watching your videos Lorrie nice steady pace easy to understand nothing fancy love it, always something to learn, nice background music with your well behaved hound. Regards to Connie thanks 👌🇬🇧
I have owned a newfoundland mix and liked the dog very much. This dog "Buck" however is half mixed lab and half Bouvier Des Flandres. Buck is indeed a great watch dog.
Tools like this are also handy for cabin building, bear fence posts, splitting wood with wooden wedges, etc. The list goes on. Why carry something you can make? Thanks for sharing with us.
Wow that first one is so simple yet such a great and useful idea , thank you very much for sharing sir ! I had the pleasure to make the second one already :) Take care and see you in the next one ! Nick
My heart skipped a beat when i saw your dog in the background , i thought it was a bear creeping behind your back while you were busy sawing that poplar piece
Lonnie... I really appreciate your passing these skills on to us. Awesome!... I have had concerns of how to have a hammering device available for my needs. You, good sir have just answered it for me. If I need a hammer, I know know now how to make one. I will make one this weekend, so that I am assured that I can do it later when and if I really need it. You have a great channel... please keep teaching us your learned skills.
Nice one my friend! A good stout camp mallet is one of the first things i like to make when I set up basecamp! And it is a fun project to do with young folks, or people new to the woods. Hope your spring is going well. take care -Chris
i like to hear his voice when i lay down for rest... it keeps me interested all while soothed ... no homo. he jus has a familiar voice to my ear i guess. thx ol man!
thanks for sharing I always enjoy watching your vedoes keep up with the good work I appreciate you for taking time to share wish you all the very best until next time my friend
I enjoy your informative videos, along with the editing style. The mix of nice music along with what you're doing is a nice combination! Thank you for the great content.
Good job Lonnie on the making of a Maui and Hammer, I have never seen anyone make this type of hammer before. Thank You for sharing, I enjoy your videos, keep them coming. God Bless You and Connie
lo wer 48. Lonnie into the tools now, great tutorial on saw, hatchet and kinfe, minus the hammer/maul of course, what design and so easy. i do like my little fiskers hatchet log splitter as well, very lite and useful....thanx
I once visited a neighbor (an old farmer who was fairly poor) who was cutting down a large tree. He drove in a wedge with a maul like your first one (but with a longer handle). I asked a stupid question: "Hey Wendall, did you make that maul?" He answered, "Do you think I bought it at Sears and Roebuck?" I thought it was ingenious!
Many great tips in this one Lonnie! Both methods work great. I have only used the second method myself many times but I really liked the simplicity of the first method. Thank you as always for sharing your knowledge my friend! God bless you and Connie. PS, That Silky saw looks ferocious!
Nice video Lonnie. Great job on showing others how to make handy and useful tools when out in the forest. Each camping trip we do seems to yield a new spoon or bowl
'mornin,Lonnie & ''Ole-Buck; Always love watching & learning from your video's, Friend. Might have to make 1 a these for base-camp. Hello Connie ATB Terry God Bless
I swear, every time I see your dog in a video my heart starts skipping and I want to yell out "watch out for the bear!" Then I realize its just your big beautiful dog. Gets me every time!
Heidi Evans Buck sure is an interesting looking dog!
your not the only one LOL
Same here! hahaha
Heidi Evans I know! First of his videos I've watched. I actually had to back the video up and have anther look at that "bear"! Hahaha!
Heidi Evans
lol. he does look like a bear.
in one video... I swear it was a bear

TrollDragomir
I totally agree. Good call
there is a diversitiy of gifts but of The same Spirit, praise The Lord God for connie receiving the blessing of comliness! The Father and The Son are as One and He is worthy of all the praise, honor and glory!
I agree, very nice pace in making the videos.
TrollDragomir Also soothing background music, good ole guitar picking instead of the dumb ass rock ‘n’ roll crap!
Good Tools! Thx for sharing Lonnie.
Ole Jack Flash made the scene, thanks Lonnie !!!
Nice to see Spring in the North. Those snow videos, brrrrrrrrr. Loni is a Great educator of bush skills.
Am I the only one to cut wonderful "spirals" when I try to cut around a log? LOL. My grandmother told me wood warms you 3 times, once when you cut the tree once when you work the logs and the 3rd time when you burn it. Bless her wisdom I do miss her now
I never thought about the first method! Simplicity!
Thank you for sharing Lonnie!
Stay safe and have fun!
Mr Loni, great video, using what God has given us to make tools. Thank you.
Lonnie you are a pure joy to watch and learn from. Thank you!
The second maul pattern is the one we taught Boy Scouts to make. Thanks for the vid.
Another great video!!! No wonder I love watching your stuff.
I made a couple of the second kind of maul with a downed red oak that was across a bike trail I was riding on. I batoned the handles down a bit then carved them with my knife for comfort. Cleared the trail and made something cool :)
What a wealth of knowledge! You should write a book Lonnie.
Sure do enjoy the down to earth knowledge you share on your videos Lonnie. As real as it gets. Love your dog too.Thank you
Very useful tool for pounding tent and fire reflector stakes into the ground, thanks!
Thanks Lonnie: Always a pleasure to learn from you. Brian 76
Excellent, Excellent video! Nature provides everything.
Another tool in the tool bag. Thanks for sharing Lonnie!
If you want to make sure you're sawing straight around the log tie a string around where you'd like to make your handle and cut to the string.
great demostration ,how you can make a simple but very effective hammer

Ty Langford
