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

Fun to watch - especially knowing how much work is involved while I'm sitting here drinking my coffee.
Actually a skilled wood worker can do it in 2-4 swings and fully make a plank. Takes like 2 minutes per plank.
@@Gamerad360 kind of funny to read this reply considering who you are replying to
So many people who upload their videos only show when they have achieved success. What I love about yours, Lonnie, is that you are not afraid to state, early on, that you don't know if it will work, or not, on something you haven't tried before. After all, isn't that what it is really all about though? Going out and learning new skills, built on the foundation of previous knowledge and experience.
Thank you for sharing 'the Real' with us, Lonnie!
Blessings from East Coast Canada!
Not only that but when people post videos of things that didnt turn out it saves us a lot of time putting in the work when it was not all that worth it. this board he made was nice however considering he used just three types of hand tools and the end result was plenty good for a lot of things around a camp.
You are a treasure trove of knowledge. Lot of skill and a minimal number of tools.
A cabin ( home) built with split lumber was quite a feat years ago!! Thanks Lonnie
Lonnies' videos always end up the same way when I watch them: he ties a knot, digs up a plant, and some how he ends up with a 2 story mansion fit for a king and a feast to boot. It's fascinating, magical, and always a treat when he uploads a new video. Love it.
Hm, let's see: there is hockey-world-championchip final.. in TV - last and deciding 20min. -- and there is Lonnie splitting that piece of wood... what to watch.. what is more interesting? Easy.. it's Lonnie splitting that piece of wood hehe ;)
Thanks for this video. This confirms what I thought about how to do this properly. There isn't that many people who do this.
Knowledge + determination = Lonnie. Plus a little bit of love for sharing it with us. Thank you Lonnie! Take care of yourself and please keep going...
Hey Lonnie. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Thanks for sharing and showing it like it is 'warts and all'. ATB. Nigel
That really is some tricky timber to work with!
On top of that when splitting a board the Split Always want to go to be oriented to the center
Well done , Lonnie. Good trick to have under my hat. Makes me think how hard it was to build a cabin way back in colonial days. Our ancester where no slackers.
Awesome! Inspired me to go out and try to split some boards tomorrow!
Great job Lonnie.
Lonnie I have used Birch and Hemlock wedges to fall trees. I have also used them to split small logs. I think if I were looking to make planks I would use Cottonwood as the grain is straighter.
Thanks for sharing... learned a lot from you. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks for the refresher lonny!
Loooong grey beard, bush craft, willing to teach,
You'd be a fool not to listen.
Technically not bush craft, it's a wood working technique used in the middle ages to make planks.
@@Gamerad360 how often was this used though? I mean obviously its a lot of work for a pre-industrial lumber mill worker so it defiantly wasnt used much and was expensive when it was used so no peasant is build with planks but i have never seen any archeologist creating a depiction/recreation of a building made of planks from medieval times. To be honest the only real mostly wooden houses i know of from back then are viking long houses and even those werent made of the classic board weve all seen at home depot
@@sai63836 Actually for a skilled craftsmen it was pretty fast. Maybe 1-3 planks a minute. It was used quite a lot, because it was faster then sawing the planks.
Love your videos. You tell it like it is. And don't sugar coat anything.
This was a very helpful video. Thank you for making it.
Thank you again Lonnie. As I am a carpenter and I love to harvest my own wood I use a lot of knots and Burl and many other figures and grain that many wood workers shy away from. Might I suggest, first foot the end against the stump. You are losing a lot of the energy of your mallet strikes to movement of the log. Also when you have gotten enough of split opening close enough to a knot using a your wedges to pin the log on to of the stump to get the knotted section off the ground and try sawing through the knots. I will have to try this I'm sure it will work with a little ingenuity something I know you have in abundance. I don't have a good camera or access to the internet except for my smart phone up load any videos as I am way off grid. When I do get a better camera I will be sharing some pretty neat tricks on off grid living and making a lot of something's out of nothings. Thank you again have a wonderful safe warm Christmas.
Great idea for making material for trail maintenance
great video Lonnie,this is how it was done for hundreds of years
Dear Lonnie, i have just tried log splitting as you showed in your last video - it worked out perfectly! Thank you very much for inspiration, now i have nice five boards to make bows from: ) (it was a fallen ash tree which i found near railway: ))
Ash makes fine bows, as long as the damn bore beetles haven't gotten to it.
How're they holding up then?
Fantastic, relaxing videos,nature is our strength and tranquility
Thank you! Time to get started on my homemade skis, I'm not paying 500 dollars for two pieces of plastic when I could spend quality time by myself in the forest.
Thanks so much for sharing these bush skills wild man
Thanks Lonnie... great followup video.
Thanks for sharing Lonnie

Cheers Lonnie. Always great to watch
great job.lonnie.
WOW Nice job Lonnie! I learn so much from you. Thanks so much for sharing. God bless!!!
Lonnie's Lumber Mill. Thanks friend!
And now I know a new technique! Thanks for sharing.
Fine business there, Lonnie. That length would make a dandy bench for sitting near the fire. Even the other half of that tree can be useful. Watch them splinters. Thanks
My dad and as well as my grand father told me days of old as to how they used a " pit saw " to cut wood beams and of other cuts of wood to ensure sturdy homesteads or any other build structure that was suitable to their needs. from this , I have learnt some.
Aha! That is good enough for a plank! Thanks again for showing this.
Thank you kindly!
Very educational. Thanks!
That is awesome, will give this a try for those benches I mentioned. You take care too Lonnie.
hard work Lonnie great job
YOU ALWAYS AMAZE ME. YOU ARE TRULY BLESSED.
Nice helpful video, thanks Lonnie
Great Video Thank You Very Much. All the best to you and Connie
Lot of work! Can see doing it in a survival situation! Thanks.
Maybe a long term survival situation. Otherwise it wood be great for when you are board ;)
Thank you for sharing this! I just learned something awesome!😊😊😊
Thank you, great share of knowledge.
The thing is that Lonnie n Connie show you how they do it and leave it up to you to use it and change to suit your needs .
Great job Sir!
Thank you for the great educational outdoor tutorials!
Mac
Thanks for another breath of Phreshair old buddy.
Good stuff.
Thanks for the video
Thank You!, My dad always said to try to learn something new everyday. It is new to me.
Great vid Lonnie, great learning experience.
I love these videos Lonnie! I always look forward to new ones!
Love the way you end your videos it makes me feel good! Take care Lonnie
You did that pretty quickly. That was awesome!
Thanks, this is just what we were looking for.
Great info Lonnie, nice to see, relearn the old way of doing it, could be very useful to know....
Ty for the share
Once again Lonnie great video and thanks for sharing Sir. Have a great day.
Another Great video Lonnie, Thanks for sharing your wisdom and skill.
All The Best,
John
Nice job
GOOD WORK. GOD BLESS YOU.
Lonnie. I love your videos! Outstanding. Almost makes me want to live in. Alaska. Even though in northern Canada. Beautiful country and an awesome life style
Hi Lonnie, thanks for the new video,I learn so much from watching you.
Nice video-My Dad used to call me knott head when I did something dumb.Probably where the term came from,Ha!
I love no matter what age our collective idea as a safe place for an axe or hatchet is to stick it in a piece of wood while off doing something else
love these videos. very useful and interesting to watch.
nice job
Thanks so much
great video
GOOD SHOW TAKE CARE
Thanks!
Clark
cool!!!!!
I am so happy to see all that work and Real experience being put to use... hard work doesn't result in perfection most of the time.
"LUKE..... I'm ur father "
4 the pun :))
U r in much better shape then I .and I'm may b Litle younger then u freind.
Thank 4 ur video again.
The other half is a good piece as well. I expected that to take longer than it did. It's very satisfying seeing a nice board come out of a log like that. Since we were kids, me and my bro have looked at the woods as nature's home Depot
I love all your videos Lonnie, and the clarity and tranquility with which you express yourself. Without a doubt, one of the best channels to which, thanks to you, I am really glad to be subscribed
Awesome. I will try it with the fir we have around here!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and including the making and use of primitive tools. Just goes to show that with elbow grease you can get the job done without power tools. Excellent skill to have.
Thank both you lonnie and your lovely wife for your videos splitting logs is a ton of work ask me how I know , my dads house had a hungryvwood burning furnace twenty two chords a year cut it all myself , i remember at my house cutting ten inch blocks and burning vertically skipping steps like splitting and stacking out of the backhor bucket and in a pile to dru in fall plastic over it and wheelbarrow it in the house instead of the handleing it six times every step skipped saves a ton of time and effort ! Had a ton of spruce in Nova Scotia too but warmer there than New England !
I'm thinking that the nice lodgepole pine here in Wyoming would split quite nicely. Looks like an interesting project for a camping trip.
Wonderful! I like the board just as it is. Now what we need is a video on how to make a stone axe!
Good video lonnie I've split many a fence post but I have a set of splitting wedges
Loved the video Lonnie!
Thanks for taking some time to make this video to show us who are interested how to split a log by hand. You just don't see people doing this anymore bc of the luxury of modern tools and equipment. But i truly appreciate you and what your doing.
I know that this will be handy for me to know how to do and that i will eventually use this technique at some point in time. Definitely think ill try hand splitting some to make myself a little table.
thanks again
Much Respect from your Northern friends in Canada!!
Thanks for another great video Lonnie and Connie. The hatchet could smooth up that plank a bit and it would make a great seat around the fire pit.
Sure makes me appreciate the lumber yard, we have it so much easier today.
'mornin,Lonnie; Loved this 2 part video. Like the 'ole-school approach, & It did work. Thanks as always for sharing. Hay Connie, Scratch 4 'Ole-Buck. ATB Terry God Bless
loved it
: ))
Awesome. You are way older me but way tougher
absolute legend
I feel more masculine just listening to this guy
Good job Lonnie. Don't know if i'd want to split enough to build a cabin but at least I would know where and how to start. Keep the videos coming.
Another great video! Just yesterday I just split another section of the ash tree and got three planks out of it. It was fun making planks with a hatchet and wood wedges. I’ll be making more planks with other trees that fell down to get more practice.
awesome.
