campfire

I haven't posted anything here for a while because I got slightly addicted to rock climbing but I finally had a chance to get out and practice my Bushcraft skills again. This was a pretty short outing but still extremely satisfying.

Van Camping I am trying to decide on chainsaw or sawzall whats your take? All the chainsaws I have had leak oil I find this a real pain but it can cut firewood like mad... Sawzall no oil to deal with but can it cut large enough bits of wood for a campfire?

Last minute camp out this week, was not super prepared but was only an overnight. Weather was mixed sun and rain turning to a lite rain in the evening and night. Woke up to a lite breeze and clouds. Around 11:30 at night it sounded like some one was throwing boulders in the lake.. Very...

Many people and survival schools are amazed by Dakota fire. What do you think? How often do you build it? Personally, I built that just to see if I could make it, how it works, and if it is practical. After digging for an hour I came to conclusion that basic campfire is more practical for my...

I'm the first participant in the @t.darrah Ladies Yakut Perpetual Pass-Around thread of origin https://bushcraftusa.com/forum/threads/ladies-only-yakut-perpetual-pass-around-sponsored-by-t-darrah.223561/#post-3956272 In July and August we have had some bumping rain here in NC, so we decided it...

Picked up a heavy duty stainless kitchen oven rack at a thrift store for only .50 and cut it to size (about 5x9.5). I ground off the sharp parts and made a canvas case out of some scrap army canvas that had a hole in it. I had some spare snaps from a leather project and sweet talked my wife into...

I'm not sure if this has been covered in this way but thought I would throw it lout there... What are some of the different foods you take on an adventure? Do you keep things simple like no cook food items, just add water or go all out cooking and or banking? What are your go to foods for an...

Part 4, Lost Cabin Campground, Big Horn National Forest, Wyoming. I'd have to say this location and Texas were my 2 favorites of the trip.

Just added several items to the Etsy shop! See them here-->https://www.etsy.com/shop/Lucky12Sutlery Thanks for looking!

Hello everyone. I recently came across this 40 page cookbook that also includes a basic bannock recipe. I thought that many on here might enjoy it and perhaps a few might find it useful. Enjoy ! https://wilderness.org/sites/default/files/Campfire_Cookbook.pdf

Hello everyone, I just recently moved to Colorado and have a bit of land to play around on. I've always been interested in the outdoors and bushcraft. As a kid I was outdoors and camping and doing fun things when I could. My adult life has mostly been spent inside, so now I'm taking the chance...

For those of you like me, who live in the busy, traffic infested, concrete jungle a.k.a. Southern California and who dream of bushcrafting like our brothers in the rest of the nation (especially in the wetter climates) who seem to be able to make fires just about anywhere, ^yea I know I’m...

Simple. Iron Skillet, canned potatoes, cheese, onions, open flame. If you wanna go crazy, add bacon.

OK, maybe not "THE" big knife question, but it is "A" big knife question. Is a big knife like a Becker BK-2 Companion or BK-7 or Rat RC7 better at jobs like splitting wood with a baton than a lighter, cheaper knife like the Glock? By better, I mean more efficient use of my physical energy...

Well, the instrument i think of that goes with bushcraft has to be the harmonica, so i was just wondering how many people play it. I have just taken it up 4 days ago and have just learnt blowing in the wind, its a great instrument as it isnt big so you can take it in a pocket when bushcrafting...
