Far North Bushcraft And Survival
Far North Bushcraft And Survival
Here at Far North Bushcraft And Survival you will learn about many long forgotten tricks and tips of the old time woodsmen. Not only will you learn about bushcraft / woodcraft but you will learn many things that will help you to survive in less than ideal "survival" situations as well. Come along and sit with me by the campfire as I delve into these subjects in a way that you can easily learn to then do yourself.
I will show you how to make shelters, gather food, use wild medicines as well as start fires without matches, lighters, ferro rods, etc

How will that kinda of fire do in rain and snow
Thanks for the trip
Lonnie, just came across this.... just as educational as when I saw it years ago. Really appreciate what youve contributed to bushcraft. Thank you 👍
Thanks for Sharing
Hi Lonnie and Connie. Still enjoying your great catalog of videos down here in NC Washington. This episode is outstanding. Blessings to you both. I hope you are doing well.
Glad you are enjoying the videos. Yes we are both doing great. Hope the same for you and your loved ones.
can you please tell me, what kind of metal sheet material that you used on this project?
It is galvanized steel ducting. I do not know what thickness it is.
Miss ya!
We'll wait you
The bad part is I’m a stomach sleeper
Here I am laughing, at the idea of any might use another type of "grass", to fire its pot... Now, seriously, I could imagine how life could have been ages ago. Thanks!
Where I live in New Zealand, we had volcanos so that rock lays all over our rivers.
sure hope you come back to you tube for those of us who loved you and connie. certainly miss you wisdom take care and god bless you
to hanf stuff on your hkiking poles you can ir a cord to the strap!
Yes you are correct. However in this example, the hiking staff was only used as a representation of a tipi or tent center pole (which has no attached strap.
The fans that go on top of your stove really help equalise the temperature towards the floor and they work on heat no batteries
I was swarching for you! And for that!
How are you professor ?
How is the daughter ?
Me and my "Daughter" are doing great. Hope the same for you and your loved ones.
Ditch the inner pole and use an external bipod.
I have used an external bipod on several occasions for my tipi type tents and it does work well. However the single adjustable inner pole is faster to set up. The inside center pole also provides a place to hang stuff such as a light source or clothing items that need to dry out. There are advantages to both methods of shelter support.
Keep up the good work
I just want to say hello my bro I hope all is good with your family and God bless
I appreciate that. Yes all is well here. Hope the same for you and your loved ones.
Have you ever fly fished and do you make your own flys for fishing I never have yet but always want to because it looks peaceful I don’t believe in catch and release because I feel like it’s torturing them my mom would say if you kill something eat it.
Yes I fly fish and yes I have made my own flies in the past but no longer do so. I was only ever at a beginner level with the fly tying. I have an inexpensive sit-on-top kayak outfitted for my fishing. Fishing is one of my favorite pastimes. Mostly I fish with lures and spinners but do fly fish once in a while.
Your awesome
For some reason I knew you road I started at 15 years old my girlfriend Gretchen her Dad bill had 4 cr250 motocross motorcycles I lived in canyon county she and her family lived in Sugus they would take us riding in Gorman near lake castaic . Road until my last year at CSUN IN 2016 I was 46 years old now I’m going on 56 years old on 7/18/1968 I miss riding a lot it’s like peace of mind what kind of motorcycle do you ride you look like a Harley Davidson I love what Harley Davidson means it America a strong motorcycle just I used to ride my motorcycle from Newberry park to flagstaff Arizona I would do with clear weather no wind no rain or snow I would do on my GSXR1100Suzuki I would push 165 miles per hour on the i40 highway I loved speed the faster the better but I would only ride like that with no one around I always road on road trips by myself because when I rode with other people police would come I had 21 tickets at one time until I had five police officers chessing me on the 101 fwy I didn’t even know they were behind me I would always speed . The motercycle police officer was shaking pointing his gun at me I told him I have cerebral palsy and he is shaking more than me and when his commander got there I told him that I have Cerebral palsy and his officer is pointing a gun at me shaking more than I do, he asked me what size my motorcycle was I told him it was a GSXR1100 Suzuki 1987 and he started laughing and told me to sit in the front sit of his police car and took me to my house in Newberry park . Life has changed police officers were a lot more personal I feel. I always am honest with them so they would treat me the way I treated them. I had my motercycle impounded boo and a 1400.00 speeding Ticket so I did 14 days in jail to pay the fine because every time I would get a speeding ticket I would go in at 11pm and be out by 2am the next morning for two hundred dollar ticket. I was 19 years old and I would do concrete and other construction work I would find in day time and at night I would work for huges market bagging groceries so I would bag the judges groceries and he told me in court how could he stop me from speeding so I would not get scraped up off the fwy so he gave me that giant speeding ticket. I miss riding. Do you still ride and what kind of motercycle do you ride
I had not rode motorcycle for perhaps forty years. From before getting married up until three years ago. I had quite a few motorcycles when I was a kid and young adult. I would LOVE to be riding a Harley but unfortunately they cost quite a bit of money. I am riding a Himalayan by Royal Enfield now. It is a 411cc dual sport motorcycle. I just went for about a hundred and fourty mile ride yesterday. I love the bike but it's too little for my needs. I would love to once again have a 1000cc plus street bike, preferably a Harley. I was never much into speed though I did get caught and ticketed by the cops for speeding several times on my motorcycles. I was and am more into just cruising and going places.
Thank you I like playing when I camp even know I have cerebral palsy and what I make doesn’t come out looking good I love making stuff is fun
I am a subscriber and have greatly enjoyed your videos and learned so much from them. But now I greatly concerned for both of you! I find that your most recent videos are 2 years old. Has something happened that caused you to quit making videos? I am hoping you are both in good health and have perhaps just moved on from the survival scene? From a concerned viewer and subscriber.
We are fine. Hope you and your loved ones are as well. After doing the video channel for 12 years now we have reached a time in our lives where producing another video just is not the priority it used to be, especially when we consider all the work that it requires. I do miss the interactions with the viewers however. I feel like we have come to have good friends all over the globe through these videos. In the future we may or may not upload new videos. Will just have to see how the Lord leads us.
Did you stop making videos? I just recently found your channel. I love it!

I understand. Either way, I subscribed and will binge watch all your old videos. I want to thank you for passing on your knowledge and tell you that I absolutely love you guys and your content. You are an amazing teacher. God bless and take care, friend!
I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. Thank you for the kind words.
I just watched this video again, and realized I missed the idea of making the candle heater, so since I have some tea candles and some extra altoid cans, I will make up a couple of them and put in my SUV, along with my 55 gallon drum bag liner and poncho! Take care!
16x12 : 10'8" per side 12' tall is the fast math... so four sides is just 116 square feet can be done with just one tarp and only three sides ... but thats a different video 20x16 : 13'4" per side and 16' tall 176 square feet : fast math also highly recommend GAFFERS TAPE if you can get your hands on it
I was born in 1968 July 18
This video is 13 years old wow you are a elite craftsman thank you Bow and drill Tutorial 1 and two videos from 13 years ago the first video was on how to make a fire in super wet conditions your awesome wow then the snow one were you cut the tree down to two or three feet high made half way cut put bur lap to catch ambur my spelling is horrible sorry I have learned so many cool lessons making fatt wood I have a lot more to learn than hopefully try thank you Lonnie again I’m David
The sawzall i would cut trees that had fallen and use them for firewood 🪵 my mind gets side tracked I love learning about bushcraft it’s resources it is respecting the wild not hurting creating adventures
I now have me a small electric battery powered chainsaw that I just love for camping firewood uses. That would be somewhat similar to the using of your sawzall. So much nicer than using the old folding hand operated manual saws though I still use them if I need to.
Your awesome
First of all Thank you very much you are incredible I don’t get to camp but when I did I would bring my sawzall Milwaukee fuel cordless even know I was born not breathing and died when I was 7 years old I was born with cerebral palsy and I tied to always be normal treated like everyone else my mom would say treat people the way you want to be treated. At first I had a lot of obstacles with my body but with treatment and ounce I met loe ferrigno in jr high school he came in my special education class and shook my hand and said David don’t ever let anyone tell you you can’t do something. Got into weightlifting then Martial arts and riding a GSXR1100 1987suzuki motorcycle so I tried whatever I put my heart into. This journey is up and down but with God help it’s what we make of it. My mom would take my sister and me fishing rainbow trout and bass in boats she would rent for us so I always loved being out on the lakes it didn’t matter if I cought a fish or not I just love this amazing earth 🌎 we live on. So I really like what you are teaching me from all your videos I’ve been learning fire making from you thank you I haven’t tried it yet but it’s now a goal for me when my body isn’t all messed up with my muscle spasms and other problems one thing at a Time I would like to learn how to do fly fishing .but all the different constructions I got do do when my body was able to i loved creating things I did concrete off and on four five years lite electrician work cold wires I was always an assistant fences I built, termite and fungus repair what’s God gave me I would try I also volunteered with a horse rescue for 11 and a half years with (California costal horse rescue in Ojai California.) besides other animals I volunteered in . I’m going to keep learning from you thank you so very much. My mom would say if you’re not going to eat it don’t kill it. I with you and your wife and your family to be safe and healthy and blessed always
I like your attitude of determination to accomplish whatever you wish to. I also am a motorcycle rider. I used to have a Kawasaki 1000. The one I have now is much smaller but still enjoyable to ride.
the instructions were amazing
Nice thank you
Thur 5/16/24, howdy y'all! Hope you're doing well , wate'n for new videos, waiting for you to make some more. I know what you did, you took all those millions of dollars you got and went to Hawaii, don't blame you none, God bless you 😁👍
"Went to Hawaii". ahhhh. If only. lol. Actually I have been there perhaps 4 times in total since I was a kid. loved it. Really enjoyed the natural beauty. Been on three of the Islands there. The last trip was about 10 years ago now. Will probably never go back. We are doing good though and in good health. Hope the same for you and your loved ones.
15:30 where the cordage come from?
This is a copy and paste reply that I have made to address the countless number of people who have asked a similar question or made a similar comment as yours. Natural local gathered material for bow drill cordage is easy enough to find and use during the non snow months here in Alaska as you will see in the videos at the links below. You will also see another option for cordage for anytime of year besides boot strings. I swapped out my boot strings years ago for paracord. It holds up fantastic as a boot string. I explained all of that in the video recording but my video editing software screwed up on me and had to be shut down and restarted several times. So after editing the latter half of the video three different times, I got confused as to what i had in the video and what i left out. I did not realize that that part of the video was missing until after it was all uploaded and ready to go public. I had explained that I was using paracord like I use for my boot strings and I showed my boot strings. I showed stringing up the bow and I explained about clicking on the links above for learning how to use natural cordage for bow and drill if anyone was interested. Those links are located below here. If one has no tools, a sharp edged rock can be used to cut the willow bark off of the tree. Harvesting bark can only be done in the Spring through mid summer. Late summer the bark begins to adhere to the tree wood and can no longer be harvested very efficiently. Spruce roots can be used as friction fire cordage also and is easily harvested and processed without brought tools. A stick may help in digging for roots but is not necessary if digging in loose ground. See the video below for a spruce root bow drill instructional.

To say this tutorial is significant, would be an understatement. From Utah , where pyrites are far easier to find - Thank you.
The only thing I would recommend is when you originally cut the notch for the door area, if you cut one side normally but the other side at a shallower angle you wont have to tape a seperate door flap on. It will already be there and overlap the other side. Much stronger than tape.
You guys just seem so peaceful ☺️
We have had quite a few comments of a similar nature to yours here. We did a video on that subject if interested. How We Find And Experience Peace kzread.info/dash/bejne/pouozJKxcrm_pJs.html
Hi! I'm thinking of making one myself. What size grommets did you use, please?
The inside hole diameter is 3/8ths of an inch across.
If you have a lighter, wouldn't it be easier just to gather very small free standing twigs? Texan here...little experience with snow.
Yes it absolutely would . . . IF they are available. Not all environments have small twigs available. Here we have stands of poplar or aspen trees with no small dead twigs that are reachable. There may not be any evergreens nearby. Anything on the ground here is damp most of the year. Other places we have stands of spruce and birch with plenty of dead small twigs on the spruce typically.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival thanks for the clarification.
Hi Lonnie. I was wathcing Taro's latest presentation and was more than happy to discover you and Connie are doing well. Best wishes and stay safe. Nigel
Thank you! You too!
I have severe beard envy.

Hello from Indiana! How are you all doing? How about a quick 5 minute video on how y’all been? Hope all is well. Miss the videos!!
We are doing just fine. It snowed yesterday here but not much stuck and it is almost gone. We have both really got the urge to go camping. That urge seems to come along every Spring about this time. Looking forward to Morel mushroom foraging soon as well.
Oh forgot, 1.75 teaspoons of sugar to cappuccino.
You hit this one out of park, pard! Awesome!
Wonder how they bare doing. Haven't seen any new videos in quite some time
We are blessed and doing fine. Hope you and your loved ones are as well.
