- Eating tools in the wilderness are always a necessity as you don't want to handle your food with dirty hands. Making and using your own fork is a really fun project. It is easy enough to do with children or for a youth project. Thank you for watching the easy DIY Rustic Bushcraft Fork!

I'm not likely to make myself a fork, although knowing the method is always good to have stored away. I do however want to comment on this and other videos you have made, that you pause and give Thanks for your food prior to eating it. I admire that. You could easily have edited it out, but you have chosen not to, which says a lot to your convictions.
Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words and for noticing my giving of thanks before eating. It's not something I push on my channel, but it's of utmost importance to my life.
It's amazing to me 👍 how you can make something seemingly out of nothing !! You're videos have taught an old man some incredible new tricks Thank you for all you do 😁
Thank you so much and glad you're enjoying the channel!
Woohoo easy stuff for everyone!!
Thank you, my friend!
If I haven’t mentioned this before I would to say I admire the fact that you give thanks before a meal. 🙏.
Thank you so much.
I like this little project. I have made many hot dog forks by stripping the plastic part off a fly swatter that has a steel handle and the burning the coating off. Thanks for the video.
Sounds fly to me. LOL. Thanks for watching!
Well it worked I found a pretty thick hanger it's hard to bend and made 2 of them one for me and one for the wife her and I both love handmade things as well thanks for the inspiration I'm subbed and love your channel
Excellent! Thank you for watching, glad you enjoy the content, and welcome aboard!
You have to remember the tip James gives at about 3:30. Strength. If you look at his forearms when James is working that wire you can see why these projects appear effortless. It’s not like he’s an Arnold (Schwarzenegger, not Tom), he has done hours and hours of hand work. What really impressed me was that all the time he was bending and twisting the wire his multi-tool was in his pocket and not retrieved until it was really necessary. A couch spud like me would have had that multi tool plier out at the very beginning.
Thanks for making the chop sticks look good 👍
Thanks for watching.
You have so many great ideas. Thanks again.
I just found your channel recently don't know how many videos I have watched. I live completely off the grid in top a mountain and grow and raise my own food and also am a naturaliest I'm always foragering for edible plants for making medicans and slaves or just to eat and ive started making some of the stuff you have made can't wait to make more. Just adding to my skills senec I found your channel Love how you explain and walk every one threw how to make something other than just showing it at the end of the video. Also like how you bless your food before you eat it. Thank you so much for sharing your skills to greatly appreciated especially in this day and age thing are crazy. Take good care
Thank you so much for watching the video and for all the kind words!

Wow this is way too COOL ! I Love it ! Very informative video!
Thanks for watching!
Putting a point on your fork tines-it’s all fun until you poke out your eyeball.
Just kidding. James, your RUclipss are always delightful. Always helpful. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience to a couch spud wannabe outdoorsman.
Peace of the Lord, Brother!
PS- with the ubiquity of plastic coat hangers, steel-wire coat hangers are becoming a bit rare. This RUclips is a reminder to save those rare steel-wire coat hangers for DIY projects.
Thanks again!
Thank you so much for watching! You do indeed have to be careful for those points, LOL.
@@WayPointSurvival caught a bit of a bad typo that I had ti correct.
I love the rustic fork I'm gonna make one for sure but in my shop here at the house that way I'll have it for wen I go camping great video

Cool video. Very informative. I may have to try that little trick.
Thank you for watching.
Hello James, great DIY video, my friend. Thank you for sharing. 🤗
Thank you, Ronald!
Isn't it amazing brother all the wonderful things you can do with a coat hanger. From opening locked car doors to roasting marshmallows. I hadn't seen that little trick. It's a good one. Thanks for sharing pal.
Thank you, Chief! Hangers are amazing. It is getting harder to find ones made of heavier gauge wire, though.
🎚🙏🤔spectacular job Brother
Thanks so much, my friend!

Thank you for watching!
cool video idea
Thank you!
That's a great DIY, Thanks for sharing James.
Thank you!
Awesome
Thank you!
Just now went a made one, turned out damn nice. All I gotta do now is sharpen the tines and burn off the brass coating then season it like a steel skillet. It will go great with my wooden spoon.
That's great! Glad you liked it and that you made one!
Great DYI video probably the hardest part is finding the wire hangar. I have old wire hangars that I kept however it is hard to find new ones in stores most have plastic ones.
Thank you, Thaddeus! I found a bunch of them for sale at the local Goodwill store.
If you look around in the parking lot where the there is a dry cleaners you can often find hangers on the ground where Republicans have disposed of them.
Love that haversack
Fork? Almost a frog/snake gig :-0
Yes, it could have many uses! It's one of the things I like about it!
#DIYBushCraftFork Awesome. !! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Thank you!
You know we didn’t use forks until not that long ago? And they were 2 pronged as well, I believe. I think it was Italy that started the trend. It was a good idea. I think I’d make the prongs a little closer, but that’s just personal preference.
Yes, most people just use the tip of their knife. Especially if you were English, it was the dreaded French that were using the fork and of course they didn't want anything to do with that. Lol. Use of the fork actually has been traced back to the 4th century and the Byzantine empire.
Can you make a spoon also I enjoy your videos 👍👍👍👍
I have a video on spoons on my channel. I will put up a link for you later today
Here is the link for my take on a spoon. ruclips.net/video/2bPdL_DId2g/видео.html
Like to see you make a spork
That would definitely be an interesting project. All you really have to do is take a wooden spoon and saw some slots in the front.
Great video and I wonder if this would work using trapper's wire?
Yes, if it is stiff enough. Not sure what gauge you're using.
@@WayPointSurvival I may carry any gauge of wire depending on my needs at the time. Rarely do I find myself without at least a 10' length of trapper wire. I have found it has a lot of uses. Thanks for commenting and replying not too many creators will do that.
please keep me posted on your videos and I will keep you in prayer
Thank you! I usually post them to my Facebook page and I usually upload on Mondays as my schedule permits. If you subscribe to the channel on RUclips and click on the bell button icon and select to be notified for all videos, you should be kept up to date on them.
You and ReallyBig Monkey should get together and make a video on homemade camping gear it would be funny and I would learn something. I am catching up on videos. great videos..do you ever take your family out to the woods with you?
That would be great! He has some really great ideas and videos. I do take my family out once in a while.
Daumen hoch ist raus :)😀😃🙂

Vielen Dank!
Nice project James.....But I have to ask what is in the steel of a coat hanger. I’m no metallurgists, but I did spend about 25 of my 35 years looking after a railroads rail inventory. We sold the old no longer usable stuff to all kinds of companies. I asked one company what they did with it and the reply was that every bed frame since about 1960 has been made from old rail. If you’ve ever tried to drill a hole in bed frame you know what I mean, one hole goes fine and over a foot takes the end off the drill bit. The old stuff has a high nickel content and some of the newer stuff can be called Chrome Rail as in Chromium. So it makes me wonder what a coat hanger is made from. Is it a big deal, I don’t think so. A guy who drinks every day and watches RUclips videos all day lives forever, the guy who lives a healthy lifestyle and jogged everyday gets run over by a bus... so does a little piece of metal matter???? Who knows
The really old hangers were made from a steel composition that was similar to the Linde #7 rod used in welding. Many welders have made simple repairs using a coat hanger for a welding rod. The newer, thinner ones from China are of an unknown composition. There is only one manufacturer of steel hangers left in the US in Leeds, Alabama and their site doesn't give any specs on the steel wire composition. Anyway, it is a fun project and in my opinion, I don't think it will cause me any trouble eating off one. Thank you for watching and for your great question and comments!
Have you changed neck knives? I can’t identify the knife you are wearing in this video, but it doesn’t look like your Mora.
What knife is this and what knife are you using now in your cross-draw chest rig?
For the last few videos, I have been wearing the peltonen ranger knife that I demoed a few videos ago. It's a little heavy, but I am trying to figure out a way to keep it from sliding down. I may eventually go back to the mora knife. But for right now, I'm going to be using this one for a while. Thanks for noticing and for commenting!
Cool. Townsend charges about 6 bucks each
Thanks for watching!
Could make 3 prong
.
Yes. Thanks for watching!
Nice, next time make a fork out of wood !
I did one some time back. Here is a link: ruclips.net/video/D-addk6dC0k/видео.html
Thats a twok😊
Right!
You said first we have to drink some of the juice, and I said no, first you have to pray. Lol
True. Sometimes I forget...
