Survival and practical uses of Birch Polypore (Razor Strop)


Birch Polypore (Razor Strop) (Piptoporus betulinus)
Survival and practical Uses.
 Piptoporus is from the Greek piptein meaning “to fall,” and Latin porus for “pores.” Betulinus
refers of course to Betula spp., the birch upon which it commonly grows.

Wildcrafters may wish to note that forests rich in birch polypore and Fomes fomentarius are poor in Chaga (Inonotus obliquus), and vice versa. That is, it appears that once some fungi have set up home, others are less welcome. The wood decayed by the fungus has the distinct odor of green apples.

Mountain Mann Wilderness Survival Class July/13/2019


Mountain Mann Wilderness Survival Class July/13/2019 

This 1-day course is designed to be an introduction to the fundamentals of survival.  It is a great way for beginners who are not yet comfortable with the forest and how to deal with wilderness emergencies.  It’s also a great way for even experienced outdoors people to learn or refresh important fundamental skills. This class allows beginners to acquire basic backcountry, camping and bushcraft, and survival skills while building their confidence in the woods, and it allows those with more experience to build on, and improve, what they already know.

Hickory Freight Frame

I fashioned this Freight Frame out of green Hickory limbs. The webbing is the green bark stripped from the limbs. I found the red nylon rope along the trail and used it for the shoulder straps and cargo strap. Keep the whole frame moist so the bark webbing keeps from drying out and it will last for several months of work.

Dick Proenneke lived alone for nearly thirty years in the mountains of Alaska in a log cabin

Richard Louis "Dick" Proenneke (May 4, 1916 – April 20, 2003) was a self-educated naturalist who lived alone for nearly thirty years in the mountains of Alaska in a log cabin he had constructed by hand near the shore of Twin Lakes.

The cabin was built using only hand tools, many of which Proenneke himself had fashioned. Throughout the thirty years he lived at the cabin, Proenneke created homemade furniture and implements that reflect his woodworking genius…

How to make a paracord axe handle wrap


This video demonstrates how to make a paracord axe handle wrap. 
It is made in a quick deploy fashion, which means it can be completely unraveled in a matter of seconds when needed.
Paracord short for Parachute Cord is a lightweight nylon rope used during World War II for yeah you guessed it parachute suspension lines. Today paracord is used widely throughout all branches of the military and civilian use. The Mil spec paracord has six different grades ranging in strength from 95lb to 750lb. I use Type-III which has a minimum breaking strength of 550lbs. although I have personally tested it up to 1,000lbs. It consists of a sheath that contains seven two strand yarns. One of the nifty things about this rope is that it can be easily gutted of its inner yarns for more delicate jobs like sewing. The cord, when gutted of the core yarns, is considered Type-IIa which becomes much less elastic (good or bad thing depends on) and retains a breaking strength of 225lbs.

Survival Mini Wire Buck Saw

The Survival Mini Wire Buck Saw

I made this in about 45 minutes, using the wire and a Sheffield folding knife.
It will cut through 5 inch thick soft wood with ease.
Not the best saw for cutting wood for fire or shelters, but it does have great use in arrow making, traps and wearever other detailed cutting is involved.

Building a tiled roof hut with heated floor video

He built this tiled roof hut in the bush using only primitive tools and materials. The tools I used have been made in my previous videos. It should be pointed out that I do not live in the wild and that this is just a hobby. It should be obvious to most that this is not a survival shelter but an experiment in primitive building technology.
