yep found this: "The base board should be cut from a soft wood. Poplar/cottonwoods and Saguaro ribs are two examples"

@Brandon Ironside- ND okay we switched to a cedar drill (spindle) on a poplar board and we have some good smoke going

@Deleted User Great, obviously for this methods tinder is going to be huge, what you using?

Well since everything around here is soaked right now I’m going with dryer lint

I wish I had a cedar fireboard

Videos, if you can

Pls

So far I just have a video of the smoke

@Deleted User How did round two go for the wool blanket?

Doing it tonight. 19 degrees predicted

Good deal!

New knife benchmade buschcrafter!

very sturdy full tang knife, off to touch up the edge!

Bad ass. Heavy enough to work wood?

Two blankets

Tent shell on top

@Deleted User yes! that's why I got this one, thick spine, full tang, should perfect for wood splitting and general buschcrafting duties!

looks like a good setup, let us know how it turns out!

Nice. I was wanting after a heavier blade when I was trying to cut out notches for that fireboard last week.

Tonight, wearing alpaca socks, wool socks over them, jeans, undershirt, flannel, Irish sweater, and a beanie. Not wearing thermals

@Deleted User are you a popsicle?😆 It's 29 here in downtown Louisville. I know it was freezing for you last night.

@RevStench 18 degrees! Two wool blankets with tent laid over top worked great. Only my right hip was cold for some reason, but I wasn't even wearing thermals underneath.

You're a madman. That's cool that you were able to handle that temp. My blankets are in the mail.

I think you’ll love em. Obviously an isomat is key

I have a mat that works pretty well. We're going camping the first weekend of December. So I'm trying to get cold weather gear.

This will be my first cold weather camping trip

What’s the temp lol in December in your neck of the woods?

Like*

Well usually it's not that bad, but it's like 30 this morning, but next week it'll be in the low 60s. The weather is crazy here because were in a valley near the Ohio river. In December we've had freezing snowy ones and we've had them where it's like fall temperatures.

Same here, frankly, but it gets a little colder

We’ve had summer temps in the upper 90s and even crossed a hundred a couple of times.

I have very good doc. Werner Herzog is a great film maker

@Mark Vandal Herzog! I met him once. Guy is very big brained I hope he is secretly red pilled

I don't know he is german

Plus he’s a madman. Just the fact he got Fitzcaraldo made is insane

How did you meet him

Yeah he grew up in the aftermath of ww2

At a film festival

Little Deiter needs to fly is a great doc

Deiter was a POW and lived in the bush after escaping camp
