I came across this great channel that goes into making cordage from different materials.
Cloud shadows in the water
I removed all political posts from my website two weeks ago. I thought just go back to bushcraft posts then a squirrel happened and it reminded me of the magpies that were seized in Australia. Showing just how much freedom we really have. Very little. If we don’t fight for it now we will lose it forever. More and more people are sick and tired of Government over reach.
Ive put together a few items to place within an old tobacco tin or ziplock bag, for emergency fire lighting. I may even go as far as using an oilcloth pull string bag. Items include multiple ways of starting a fire and tinder sources. Ive used up an old light my fire ferro rod to reduce weight but may change this to a larger rod depending on where its stored. I also have bearing blocks made from micarta I like to use in other kits.

I collect different types of bearing blocks I use all sorts in these kits to apply them.
The ferro rod striker is homemade from a piece of lathe tool bit in tungsten/cobalt.
Straight from Jon Kerrys mouth to your ears.
Four government agencies to seize a squirrel and a raccoon to then kill them. This is now our world.
Great idea and easier to tie.
Great idea for tarp corners with eyelets. Clinch tie out for tarp corners.
Another option would be to feed the double stopper knot through the eyelet and then create a marlin spike hitch in the mainline and instead of using a toggle , feed the stopper knot through to complete the hitch.
I removed many of the political posts on this site as well as many of the knife posts with the way the world and this country in particular is going but I wanted to re-post a segment how a two Party System worked as many western countries have this. Many people I have spoken to in the last week knew nothing of the Misinformation laws currently being sat on in Parliament. Ignorance is big business and business is good and relied upon by the establishment.
“The two party system exists all across the west. It is designed to provide the masses with the illusion of choice and quell dissent. If you think about the two party system as the left hand and right hand of the establishment. One of those hands create a problem intentionally and the opposing hand comes in and offers the solution. However the solution was always the goal of what the establishment wanted. It is sold as a solution to a problem created by the other side, so it creates the illusion that the opposing side solved a problem but in reality the problem was manufactured by one side and solution was offered by the other hand.”
How to recognise propaganda
1) When given a problem, fear rather than reason is used to present the solution.
2) When you’re pressured into accepting the solution.
3) When youre not allowed to question the solution.
4) When the solution involves surrendering your freedoms.
5) When your eyes see when thing, but your compelled to believe a different thing.
6) When the solution means giving small groups of people control over larger and larger things.
7) When dissenters are censored for refusing to accept the solution.
3 Pillars For The Total Control Of Society

I was pulled up at one of my favorite camping spots waiting for a mate when I noticed a guy with a rather large camera taking pictures of something in a tree. I wandered over to have a chat and discovered he was taking pictures of a Tawny Frog-mouth.Right where I like to camp. Rodney I discovered was third or fourth in line on the Australian bird checklist for Ornithology. He had spent a year putting everything into checking off this list as we chatted about building campers.

A bird had been waking me up for months at 2am to 3am and I picked his brains as to what it might be. It turned out to be a Southern Boo Book Owl. I took him to the park and we spent a time scouting the area. I really need to get my thermal monocular up and working and when I hear it again get out of bed and go for a wander now the weather is getting better.
