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!

    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!

  • @KuskBushcraft

    @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!

    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 .......
