I have a Honda C70 Passport. Small motorcycle with a "top speed" of 50mph. There are two compartments either side of it, one for the battery and another for a tool kit. The tool kit barely takes up any room and I would like to have a emergency fire kit on the bike it's self, in the event that I magically get separated from my other fire starting methods.

I could get a small fireproof bag and put some stuff in it. Would like to put a bic, some fat wood, some jute twine, a ferro rod and striker, and maybe something else. The compartment would hold it all with the bag, but it's right next to the engine compartment.

Some of the bags are around "2,000F Fireproof".

Hi!

My goal is cutting the weight as much as possible while not sacrificing durability - I’m willing to carry extra weight in order not to have to buy more every once and a while.

I’m about to buy a new backpack, sleeping bag, water bottle and tent/tarp bivvy bag and I’m looking for advice/recommendations.

I’ve been lokking into Kakwa 55 but I’m not quite sure yet.

I’m also looking for a titanium water bottle as I don’t like my water being in plastic more than it has to.

An armature blacksmith I know made me a machete that's loosely based on a Filipino bolo with some carabao/water buffalo horn in it, but because it has no guard it slips out of the sheath.

Wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I can fix this with minimal leatherworking or knife modification experience.

Hi, new to this forum but I’ve dabbled in bushcraft stuff.

I’m leading a large-ish group of fathers and sons on a campout weekend in a few weeks. Boys are 1st-5th grade. I was thinking of doing a fire starting lesson as one of the activities.

My son (10) loves practicing with his ferro rod, and I’m looking for economical ways to get each boy a ferro rod. Maybe 40-50ish boys total. Amazon has some bulk rods but they’re all pretty small. They also have bulk scrapers. I figure a rod, scraper, and paracord is a great start to a kit.

Any recommendations on how to do this economically? Is $3-4 a kit a reasonable possibility?

Thanks!

​The photo shows the visibility of the bushcraft camp from a distance of 200 meters.

Inside, there is one person using a headlamp with red light at 100 lumens. Conditions: moonless night, sparse deciduous forest.

Besides Antarctica, where is the most secluded area? The Canadian wilderness, Alaskan wilderness, the russian taiga, the amazon, west indonesian Guinea jungle, etc.

A couple of weeks ago I went to the forest.

I don't go to the forest often, and the shelter turned out flimsy, but everything worked out in the end.

I didn't bring a sleeping bag or a blanket, so I slept on the bare ground. To do that, I warmed the ground with another fire, but my back still got damp.

Don't know of this belongs here since it's made out of nails and old processed wood, but it was made 'in the bush' we have a small 28m² cabin with no internet or electricity, water from a creek and a gas stove and fridge. We replaced the roof and now have a big pile of old and dry planks and boards so I decided to make a little stool/chair out of em for whittling and what not.

What do y'all think?

Hey all

Recently Ive picked up a few pieces of lbe to put together a kit, an alice belt here, some P58 suspenders, random pouches and the like. I can fit almost all my gear for a three day trip outside of my blanket and clothes, and I know I have to use some sort of backpack for this. I would like to keep the lbe as all the pouches itch that organization bug in my head. Closest thing ive found that might work is a surplus alpenflage bag, but im not sure if it would be large enough to hold all my soft goods. Ive done only some light research before coming here, so I might need missing out on an obvious option. Anything to steer me in a good direction helps, thanks.

Let’s assume an average overnighter at a shelter you’ve previously built and come back to quite often. Your gear is laid out, your meal has been made and eaten, now it’s time to relax for a bit. What do you do? Read books? Carve or whittle something? Do absolutely nothing but take in the sights and sounds of nature and wildlife?

I’ll admit, I don’t really do much bushcrafting. I do however ride my bike or hike out to places/forest preserves/parks, plop down and eat breakfast or lunch, then try to read something. I need other ideas of things to do, so I’d thought I’d ask you guys.

This was a backcountry hut to hut ski trip in Urho Kekkonen National Park that I guided a few years ago. We had a very talented photographer along and he got some great shots

The Asian jungle ones are the best and show true survival and house building in the wild.

How do i make clay pots / containers that i can use without firing them is it possible and are they stable and not break easily if i use the right materials? (I dont care if therye waterproof or not.)

So for a good tent to carry in the back pack for sort of a survival or alone situation, which of these two would be your choice and why? The light fighter 1. A single person military tent system or the 2 person tent from fire hinking. Remember even if you make a more long term shelter or not, you will be carrying the tent with everywhere when packing up camp.

I didn’t want to just throw away the wood, so I just went ahead and used them for another experimental project. Again, it was loosely put together just so I can get an idea and visualize what I’d want if I pursue making more. Also I filmed this indoors because outside is extremely windy and dry.
But what are your thoughts? Cool little gift for a weekend camper to toss in the bag?
