Bushcraft

pumpndude · 11-28-2016, 01:05 AM

I really like this site, I didn't know what bushcraft ment but I have read most of the posts and now I definitely know what it means. another name for survival...
Now I want to take a class on bushcraft and who knows I might find someone who I could go camping with and we can test our skills that we would learn..

Oh this is cool, I do watch survival reality shows, but did not put what I have learned to test....

thanks everyone for re-educating me again....

Nice blanket. I checked out their site and the prices aren't bad for what you get.
I have a 100% wool Italian officer's blanket that I bought through surplus about 15 years ago that I wouldn't trade for anything. One of the great things about 100% wool is that even if it gets wet it will still keep you warm. So it is a great addition when sleeping out under the stars.

I like to go to the BushCraftUSA forums for DIY projects. I need a new over the neck pouch to carry my cell, fire-steel, cash, etc. Materials: large sharp needle, riverter kit, chain, paracord, leather, canvas, or flannel.

Currently have an inexpensive neck knife but I want to get a nicer one. I really don't know much about them and wondering if anyone can give me a heads up on what to look for on my next one? fyi- The one I currently have has a nylon sheath and it's knife has a 2.5" fixed blade.

Someone asked me if bear spray really works. Yes and no, if it's black bear maybe, if it's not determined, grizzly forget it..but with the right gun.bear spray and lucky timing you could get enough time to run for it..best to have a plan..just in case..make sure to tie your food away from campsite and up in a tree..don't cook or eat where you sleep, ever, have a cook camp at least 100 yards away from where you sleep..i never had a problem in Alaska, but the bears in the Cascades have no fear, so be careful there.

I have bear spray for self defense rather than bears.

You might want to consider using Pepper Spray for the two-legged variety of bear..it's more potent

It's my understanding that bear spray can be purchased anywhere. In some states you have to go to a specific dealer to get pepper spray. And frankly, for me it's like carrying an umbrella; insurance I won't need it. It's like keeping the flashlight/truncheon next to my bed.
