we're going next weekend

Anyone here use a ferro rod for fire starting?

I have, though I'm trying to move towards perfecting bow-drill and other natural fire starting techniques

as long as you have a knife with a 90 degree spine (carbon tends to work better than stainless, but anything hard will work), it's pretty foolproof.

Bowdrill is definitely a good skill to learn I need to put more time into it seeing as how if you had nothing but maybe a knife you could make the stuff to get a fire started. I've only used a ferro rod a few times and it seems way better than my traditional flint and steel

Have you ever seen the show Alone? It's basically the only decent bushcraft show on tv, but after watching it I made it my goal to be able to start a bowdrill fire even in the rain. No flints, no ferro rods, no steel. Still a work in progress lol

That sounds like quite a chore

I've never seen the show though I don't watch tv

I just watch it online, but it's one of the few tv shows I'd actually recommend. Especially season 1 before they tried to add blacks and women to the participant field. It is funny to see the nig go home before the end of day 1 tho :'^)

My BOB packs

I'll get a photo of all I have

@skinfaxi @Váli I used to be good with a bowdrill bit damn it's been awhile. I'll have to get at it again

Is that bottom pack rothco?

@skinfaxi I'll have to look

Anyone ever used a cold steel trail boss axe? Thinking about getting one I've heard good things about them

almost everything by cold steel is really good quality for the price you are paying

But do keep in mind you get what you pay for.

Yeah I figured I can always re-hang it if the handle is shitty which is the only thing I worry about because the steel looks good. Most major manufacturers these days can't hang an axe worth shit unless you are paying out the ads for it. Good thing it's an easy job to do by hand.

lol I actually have that bushcraft book by Canterbury. Not a bad one to be sure

Im buying it soon

Whats it called?

Bushcraft 101 its in <#389320840635875338>
