I would bet that if you would list what you DON'T know bushcraft wouldn't get past 10 lines. Love your videos. God Bless you and your wife and enjoy the New Year.
Always enjoy your knack for problem solving (ex: if you can't reach high enough, lash a cord around a tree to give yourself a boost). You are the MacGyver of the North Woods. Love ya both!
As I sit in my comfortable heated house, videos like this show how far removed we have come from living and surviving in a natural environment without modern facilities. Life must have been so, so hard for the old trappers and settlers. I enjoy your videos for the simple but effective way of doing things. I watched a video by Ray Mears about the way indigenous people made birch bark canoes and how in little more than a generation those skills have almost been forgotten with the common use of fibreglass boats with outboard engines. Love from England UK.
I am setting in a toasty warm motel room wishing i could set around that shelter drinking one of your coffees with you two. Thanks for sharing your time.
The survival man shares a lot of useful skills. but what surprised me was that he had a very long beard. watching your video for the first time, say hello from Vietnam
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!!
Thank You for sharing your knowledge! I'm60 years old and disabled but I still love to watch "seasoned" professionals plying their craft and passing along a wealth of "learnins" to the young ones that are just getting started. I Wish You & Yours a Safe, Happy & Healthy New Years!!! (And may The Good Lord take a liking to ya, but not no time soon!!!)
That is the coolest thing I've seen in awhile. I hammock camp on sloping ground and I often have this issue when trying to set my tarp ridgeline or even my tree huggers. I will be using this method quite often. (4:00)
Thank you Lonnie for sharing those videos with me. I have got the dandelion roots and now I'm going to cut them up and roast them I was always wondering how you roasted them properly now I know. Thank you so much.I have watched most of your videos and I want to continue watching every time you put out a new one you're a wealth of knowledge.
I stopped this video a couple minutes in and made my son watch you make a step on that tree to lash that pole higher up! Just brilliant information that may never get used...but should be learned imo. Thank you both for taking the time to share this info. See ya in the next one. 😃
When I was surveying we used a jack hammar pin with a sledge hammar then replaced that with a tent peg or a 4 foot oak stake ! Thanks Lonnie and Connie from NH.
Well, I look forward to part 2! I the mean time, before you head out again , please remember the snow, Cold makes for a runny nose. Stick a nose rag in your coat pocket! Thanks! 🙂
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.
You guys are the last of a dying breed , god bless the two of you I wish you best. Two of the most down to earth calm and wonderful human beings. If there were 500 million more of you we would literally have peace on earth and everyone would be happy healthy and wealthy.
Great to see a video from FNB, Real Bush craft in conditions most people wouldn't think of going out in. This shelter build series looks great, looking forward to the other parts. Here's to better 2021 for everyone.
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
Lonnie and Connie, you are the masters of turning an uninhabitable environment into a five star resort. Can’t wait to see part two. Good to see you two.
Hi Lonnie and Connie. Thank you for Sharing. 'The rope ladder' was really impressive and the tie offs almost equally so. Thank you for explaining things so fully. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
Hello Conny hello Lonny Thanks for this Video I am not a young guy anymore but when i see your Videos i ever learned a lot Thanks for that All best wishes Yours Frank Galetzka
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.
Great video, always nice to hear you explain stuff and your wise peacefull way of speaking makes it easier to understand the instructions you are providing. Can't wait for the part 2 and see how you close the front and back.
I SAW THAT IN A BOOK OF KNOTS AS A LARKSHEAD OR CONSTRUCTION KNOT, NOW LISTED AS A COW HITCH, JUST THROWN IN MY TWO CENTS, WISHING YOU, BUCK AND CONNIE A HAPPY NEW YEAR
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival Knot trivia, It's also known as the Ring Hitch or Girth Knot. The most common term is Larks Head Knot. Reminds me of a story, a guy went to the doctor and asked him what was wrong. The doc says, "You have a fractured tibia fibula." "Oh, thank goodness, I thought I had a broken leg." It really does not matter what you call something(offensive terms excluded), as long as both people understand what is being described. Once again, thanks for your videos as I always learn something from them.
Lonnie, I know the two of you are doing the thing you love, spending time in God's creation. I really appreciate you sharing that with us. Can't wait to see how the winter camp develops.
Mreey Christmas to both Connie & Lonnie: Nice to see planning & forethought being brought to the winter shelter. Instead of using a see how it goes approach looks like craftmanship is going to be used. I look forward to the next installments. Thanks Brian 80
Yet another down to earth, informative film, by some of the good guys of this world. Wishing you and us all a better year than we have all had. Stay safe both! Cheers Wayne
Missed you and Connie and your great videos. I hope you had a Merry Christmas, and may the New year be a new chapter in your life to be written with those precious things in your heart.
Ive been wondering how the two of you have been doing, and apparently the answer is fine, glad to see you and hope you had a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
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.
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.

I feel like anyone who has watched greater than 3 full episodes of this channel have an immensely increased chance of survival in an emergency situation than some Todd who has not.
Say that looks like its going to make a very roomy and nice shelter / camp. That frame is what I like to call the three pole set up, nice for wall tents as well. I'm interested to see what you do for the ends and the stove. Liking it and can't wait for the part 2.
Yep, you and I have spent quite a few nights in shelters with this type of frame in one of our hunting camps. I have also used this type of frame in a homemade poly tarp wall tent on quite a few winter campout nights in the past.
That tent does look nice the way it is setup and I have a tarp designed for Winter use and another one which is designed for regular weather and I just alternate them in my backpack depending on the time of year I use them. I could carry both of them, but it would make my load even heavier though.
The knot was basically the "Truckers hitch" with a toggle in it. Depending on how it is tied, That hitch can be extremely useful as a rapid makeshift hand hold in the middle of a rope if one needs to apply a lot of pull on the rope but cannot sufficiently grip the rope to apply the needed pull. I frequently use this knot to hang my lantern and other items on a center rope in several of my tents
Yes it works great for that and is the method that i use. I have a simple carabiner tied onto one end of a length of bright colored paracord. I am able to quickly wrap that cord around a tree and clip the carabiner onto the rope. I then tie this hitch into the hanging cord end at the height I wish and then hang the pack on the toggle. Very quick and convenient.
That knot has several names. The most common is the "Larks Head", but "Cow Hitch" is also used. The major difference is the Larks Head is made with a loop of cord, whereas the Cow Hitch is made with cord with loose ends. What you demonstrated, because the cord was tied together into a loop, is more accurately called the Larks Head.
Hi Lonnie, I made a video on my Hexpeak tipi tent. Would you mind if you have time to give me some feedback of my video/channel? I want to organically grow my channel. I don't want to "buy subscribers".
Good job and once again you show your vast knowledge of the woods and how to over come issues as they arise. Thanks for sharing with us and Happy New Year to you both.
I'm vertically challenged so that tree climbing technique is something you can be sure I'll be using in the future. Thanks for sharing this knowledge sir 👍🏽🙏🏽
Good start to this series of videos. I ice fish a lot here in WI & looking to make something similar so I can camp on the lake shoreline overnight. Hope y’all had a great Christmas!
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
I would bet that if you would list what you DON'T know bushcraft wouldn't get past 10 lines. Love your videos. God Bless you and your wife and enjoy the New Year.

You have such an awesome voice. I'd love it if you voiced a nature documentary. Its perfect
nice to see you two, as always some good solutions to bushcraft challenges. If you're looking for answers this couple has most likely got them...
Great video, always nice to hear you explain stuff and your wise peacefull way of speaking makes it easier to understand the instructions you are providing. Can't wait for the part 2 and see how you close the front and back.
That looks like it's going to be great. Have a great Hogmanay folks. 👍
Miss you my friends, long time without videos. Thanks for sharing... greetings from Chile.
I always get excited when I get a notification that you've posted a new video. I had to show my father how you boosted yourself. Genius move!

Lonnie, the knot you have used since you were a kid is commonly called a Larks Head Knot. Thanks for your videos!
Yes it is the Larks head and that was indeed the term I was trying to remember. However that knot is also known as the Cow Hitch as well.

What your calling a cow hitch is what I've known as a Lark's head. Thanks for the super video once again Lonnie & Connie!
Yes. Lark's Head is the name I was trying to remember. However the knot is also correctly known as the Cow Hitch as well.
Yes sir. You are absolutely correct. I didn't mean to imply that you were wrong. I was in the rigging business, and that just popped out of my head.
