Dan, this video reminded me of a trip into the BWCAW. My brother forgot the Spatula and I ended making one for the rest a week in the bush.

I made one today from a piece of still green maple that fell from one of my trees during a storm a few days ago. It turned out so well that I made 2 more. Thanks for the lesson!

...another great video. Form meets function. Pennsylvania style. Thanks Dan...

Teaching new tricks to old dogs - again, great job Dan thanks for sharing.

Thanks Dan. This comes in handy when in the woods and you forget your spatula. Did some old style trekking in Oktober at Witts End and I forgot my spatula. With my hawk and knife I made a spatula in camp. I do make spoons and spatulas at home, but well I forgot my spatula. Take care.

Dan, Good video. That certainly works for quick use in camp/field. Yep green wood works better. For more durable spatula you want to avoid the pith and reaction wood surrounding it. The growth rings are small diameter so are very reactive when the wood dries. Choose a larger diameter "log" and baton a radial split blank. Enjoy.

I’ve really been enjoying the challenge of carving spoons and spatulas lately. Great video! Thanks again!

Great lesson, Dan.

Great video. Nice spatula

Great video!

I have been subbed for some time now. I just came across these 5 year old videos. I think you should link to these videos more in your present videos. A ton of great info and tips. Looking forward to your next videos. Keep up the great work.

While collecting and processing wood today I remembered to split out a piece for the spatula. Happy to say the split out piece looks just like yours. I had other chores to tend to through evening but tomorrow.... spatula! Thanks for the how-to Dan!

Love it!!! Key points, Simple, Easy to understand!!! I learned a few tips once again!!!

Nice vid bro. I want you channel to be bigger because you are great man.

reminds me of the ray-mears-episode when he carved a canoe paddle. his buddy, ray goodwin - not to be outdone - tried it too and ended up with a spatula.

I love your shows, I've been living off grid for a long time . I've learned a lot of new stuff to do. Great job.

Dan Da Man has done it again! Love you man, learned so much from your channel. Thanks for all you do to get your point across in a simple and patient manner. 👍😁

Nice! Great demonstration of your deftness and skill with edged tools.

good job

Impressive. You made it look super easy. Obviously, you've had a bit of practice.

you made that look very easy thanks for the tip always something new and useful on your chanel

Dude is a genius. Rightous skills.

Awesome video man!

Well done Dan good video

I Like Your Style! Thanx.

I saw you on Townsend's. As a fledgling wood carver and rv camper looking forward to learning from you. Thank you!

Keep the awesome videos coming Man!

Thanks much for sharing this great video!!! Blessings 😇🇺🇸

Heading out for a 6 day solo camp today. Can’t wait to try this and many of the other things you’ve taught me Dan. Btw, I totally get what you mean by enjoying bushcraft. Sure, I can take a lightweight plastic spatula with me. But making one while in camp and using it while I’m out there... I’ll be smiling the whole time.

Awesome! Great job! So fast!

Dan the man from the real grand... Nice video.. I think I know what I am going to do during winter months..

Outstanding video, well done.

Love this stuff. I do alot of these little projects myself. On the forge and carving. And I have found so many tips and tricks watching your videos! Thanks man!!

More of that content ... please

I love doing this stuff too and you show detail you explain very well you get a A+ plus thank you or I can give you a red star and a red jellybean

Nice! Ur a good carver!

Thanks for sharing! :)

Great information and you are an excellent to the point teacher. Subscribed and appreciating all your videos. Cheers.

Hello brother..great video...im from indonesia

Really enjoyed this. You have a great channel!

Good job.

I'm impressed, turned out great......

That was awesome!

Dan, I just have to say that the quality of your videos is so good that it almost looks fake - until you start interacting with it and prove it's real. Great camera work. BTW at about the 2:26 mark when you show the wood you picked to use, IMO the baton looks like an even nicer piece :-)

Nice job

Nice video dude. Just what I was looking for.

thank you so much for this video. I haven't come across another like it. Would love to come to your bushcraft/survival classes, but am in Australia. Anyway I am still learning so much from your videos.

Well done!

Very nice!

great job.

Nice job Dan! You make it look so easy. I will say it again you are an incredibly great teacher. Thanks for sharing. It was awesome to meet you at the show on Sunday.

Very cool sir

Great vid and excellent instruction. Not to mention a fine piece of craftsmanship! If you get a chance, check out that Real Steel Bushcraft 2...I'm curious to know what you think of it.

Nice one, went on a spoon carving 1 day workshop and it's a lot harder than it looks. Good safety tips there on the ax work.

very very cool

Nice...

Is quite important to make sure the wood is food safe

Hey Dan I'm a huge fan, what axe are you using in this video

I want to know too.

Nice spatula. Let's see what kann I do. Thanks!

Dan, do you happen to know any other Bushcrafters who are more focused on reenactment work than modern? Specifically Norse. If you do, great, if you don't, alright.

nice job. looks like it came from walmart

Is that a Helko Werk hatchet?

What knife did use to do the finer work on the spatula? What kind of knife would you recommend to use for the finer work when making tools/eating utensils in the field?

I’ve heard some bushcrafters say not to baton an axe/hatchet, saying it will slowly broaden the eye, causing the head to slip. I have zero experience with axes (only ever needed a knife and machete), but I’m moving to the Rockies soon, and plan on getting one. What is your take on that? Seems like you probably have a lot of hands on experience, and I trust someone who actually uses the tools, versus someone who just read something.

🤜👍🤛♡♡♡

Why did you use the center of that log? I always here the pith is to be avoided. Care to elaborate?

Is there particular woods that you want to stay away from when making something that will be in contact with food? Also when making a bowl for say stone boiling water?

Use green wood (living) and try to stick with hardwoods. Softwood like basswood and tulip poplar absorb the liquids and end up rotting. At least in my experience

Some trees are poisonous such as Yew and Laburnum. Do not use poisonous trees.

I noticed you didn’t say “flipping veggies” lol. Potatoes count as veggies right?

Let's use the wood while we still have it!

never more buy it in yusk/ikea

Flip the meat patty with your hatchet. 🥴
