Bushcraft Tarp Camp (2/5) - Carving a Two-Piece Bow Saw
Ойын-сауық
This is the second episode of the Bushcraft Tarp Camping mini-series. Throughout this series I will be completing the setup of a semi-permanent camp that I can return to throughout the future to complete a variety of bushcraft trips and projects. In this episode I craft a simple two-piece bow saw that will allow me to begin working on more elaborate projects around camp.
Thank you to everyone who watches, I hope you all enjoy!

You have many skills..... but one of your greatest is your patience. Patience is what allows people to become skilled.

So relaxing to watch. He talks just the right amount.
Did anyone else anticipate the blade slipping and cutting Riley’s hand cutting the slot? Love the bowsaw design, Dave from New Zealand 👋

Yea the footage definitely looks a little scary. There was very little downward pressure being applied, and I had my arms braced against my body so as not to make any exaggerated movements that would cause the saw blade to slip. With that being said wearing a glove or using something to cover my hand would've been a smart choice. Thanks for watching. Happy trails!
The majority of buschcraft content is typically just someone’s interpretation of something already done. You always manage to amaze with original content and mesmerizing knife skill. Thanks for sharing another great video!

Another great example of someone who knows exactly what they’re doing. Fantastic bushcraft skills and really enjoying this mini series. As I said on the first episode, you have such a calming demeanour that oozes relaxation and it resonates all the way to London! Thanks for taking me along for the ride 👍🏼

Nice work on the saw... I really like it. Kind of makes a $150 folding saw a bit superfluous. I like that you show how to make your own gear. Thank you.

Excellent. Your skills are EXTRAORDINARY in concept tools and "camp comforts" my good sir. Once again my cat (she lays on me while we watch your videos together) are now mellowed out for the evening.😊 Looking forward to the next.👍
Brilliant videos I’m from the uk and even though we are thousands of miles apart, your language and techniques, culture is very much the same. You are a great communicator, and have a genuine friendly personality. Great videos and thank you, I’m learning a lot!

Bushcraft shows are usually cooking shows, as the end demonstrates :D Good job dude, looking forward to the next episode.
This is a very interesting way of making a bow saw. Never seen it done this way before

Be careful dusting off those branches you cut. You really don’t want splinters, that can really ruin a trip. You can bring a pair of decent gloves, which could help.
The bannok looks great. But I've heard one must break bannok, cutting it is bad luck.

It's actually a burn. Happened the first night I was out there. It looks way worse than it was. It didn't hurt at all but the blister opened up so it scabbed over. Thanks for watching! Happy trails.
Also is this going to be a daily upload or simply when you get around to it?

Would love to know your secret to living with biting insects under a tarp in the Canadian summer Riley. Here in eastern Manitoba in the Northern Boreal that isn’t happening … at least I haven’t figured it out yet!

Insect repellent and sleeping with my head tucked under my blanket. Perhaps not the greatest experience but certainly better than being eaten alive.

It would certainly work but get a little claustrophobic with stuff over my face! Will have to make a bushcraft head cage for this occasion!
Ever worry about bugs? I used to open tarp camp until I got a horrible spider bite on my face and in my ear. Went necrotic and had to go to doctor. Now it’s fully enclosed bug nets in my tarp or over my hammock. 🕷🚫
For your bow saw blade, do you carry one for green or dry wood?
Growing up and living in the city for all of my 53 years, I would not be comfortable out there without some type of defense against animals (mainly bears, mountain lions). What do you do to protect yourself, especially with you cooking that steak in episode 1? lol
This is a total newbie question, when carving out the bow saw, isn't it dangerous to cut toward yourself when you're shaping it? I'd be afraid the knife would slip or something and result in me accidentally stabbing or cutting myself
What precautions do you take against predators in these summer camps? (Mainly bears)
@KuskBushcraft
11 ай бұрын
I store my food in a tree away from my camp. I do my best to keep my camp free of food scraps and odours. I also carry bear spray as a precaution just in case I ever had a negative encounter with any wildlife. So far throughout my travels in the backcountry I've never even come close to having to use bear spray.

Smart! I've seen a lot of people that are not very cautious about predators. I'm glad you are more careful
may i ask how often you sharpen your knife because i have the same knife, and ive had it for about 2 months with alot of use should i sharpen now?
@KuskBushcraft
11 ай бұрын
I strop my knife regularly.. usually once or twice a day. Actual sharpening only occurs when the edge is damaged and burrs, chips, or edge rolling has occured. If you find your knife isn't cutting as effectively as you'd like and you can't see or feel any chips/burrs... likely a quick stropping will bring the cutting edge back to it's former glory. Like I said, I strop quite often and my edge lasts a long time. Hope this helps! Thanks for tuning in. Happy trails!
Have u been to Sweden?
7:00 what is that noise to the right.
Have you considered honey butter with your bannock?
This dude sounds an awful lot like MadSeasonShow. Hmmmm
Uhmmmm, OK cute ......now why would I build that? I get the whole "bushcraft" skills hipster thing that's going on right now but again, why? You can't run away to the woods and live, the government won't let you unless you buy the land, and then cough up for your yearly taxes so it's kind of moot. Yes, KZread is chock full of "bushcraft" and "wilderness living" channels and it IS trendy as all hell right now but as we just stated above you can't do that anyway so you're NEVER going to go out and live off the land (at least not legally in Canada and the USA). So other than generating content for your channel so you can make money, what's the point in this? You get around $3000 grand a month so is that it? Money? Because there is NO point in making that thing when you can buy a collapsible saw for $30 bucks .......
