    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

    One of the big advantages of the Farrimond Friction Hitch is that it self-destructs with a good yank on the bitter end. A good choice, especially when the cordage is frozen stiff. Good to hear from you again!!

    In addition to the Farrimond Hitch, if its stormy or windy, and starting losing up, go round the stake one or two more times. That will create friction, and help keep everything nice and tidy. Thank you so much for the video, looking forward to the next one. Love from Denmark.

    Nice looking shelter so far, fun what can be done with a tarp and rope. Also when using a loop or sling its called Girth hitch, when using a long cord its a cow hitch or some call it a larks head. Climbers use the girth hitch a lot with webbing loops on rope. Love the videos, good to see your both healthy and well and enjoying winter.

    A long time ago I scored a huge amount of surplus Army vehicle Canvas and I sensed up with several long strips of material ranging from 6 inches to two feet in width. I ended up putting matching grommets down their length and in addition to many other uses they make excellent ridge pole liners to protect roof tarps from wear from ridge poles made from logs with knots and bark. In addition those matching grommets make excellent hanging points

    Nice work neighbor! I made a 12x14 wall tent from white poly tarps I ordered online. I use it for hunting. I made a stove jack from fire proof cloth and made my own wood stove too. But I only use fire logs because I tried wood and it put holes in the roof which I had to patch.

    • @Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival
      @Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival  4 года назад +2

      The tent sounds awesome. There are several things you can do to minimize the sparking issue. One method is to put a baffle in the top of your woodstove firebox that would cause the gasses to have to go perhaps half way towards the front of the stove before going up and over the baffle and traveling back to the stove pipe before exiting the stove. If your stove is such that you can remove your top then you could turn your top a hundred and eighty degrees so that your stove pipe is mounted in the front of the stove and then you could put a full baffle in that would run from the front of the stove to within several inches of the back. That way the gasses could flow to the back of the stove as is normal before flowing over the baffle and traveling to the front of the stove before exiting up the stove pipe. Another method is to make a "stack robber" to place in the stove pipe as close to the stove as possible. The stack robber would need to have a baffling system in it that would cause the escaping gasses to have to go around the baffle before going back to the exit and on up the pipe. Another method is that you could make a "spark arrestor" to go on top of the pipe. The arrestor needs to be of a type that would not clog easily with soot. See the video below for my homemade version. Finally you could do what I plan on doing with my poly tarp wall tent that I am currently building and that is to exit the stove pipe out a wall at an angle rather than up through the roof. That would cause any potential sparks to exit to the side of the shelter rather than above the shelter. Any or all of these suggestions would help the spark problem.

    Very nice setup, very roomy.
    @3:30 If you run a rope twice around a tree, you don't have to pull it tight, it will tighten itself with no risk of slipping down when you step into the loop and put weight to it. Make two loops, about a big step apart and you'll get even higher up.
    @9:30 your "cow-hitch" officially runs as "lark's head" (and your "toggle-hitch" as a "marlin-spike-hitch").
    Stay safe and keep up your good work. Best wishes for 2021from Germany
