Learn how to "bush craft" a table when in the woods from a split log using bushcrafted tools. Lonnie shows how to make the table strong and serviceable for a very handy useful bushcrafted camp table. Proper camp furniture can make a big difference in camping comfort. And learning how to craft those items and many more when in the woods can be a very satisfying and fulfilling experience.

Hello my name is Lonnie and My wife is Connie.
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 with or without matches, lighters, ferro rods, etc

Lonnie, Just wanted to thank you for putting out honest videos that are not designed to sell product. I have had a recent epiphany regarding KZfaq channels that are designed to share knowledge versus those that are designed to suck in sales. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Hey Lonnie, the table looks real serviceable. The Canadian jam knot- great knot! Just tried it and it`s very cool! I am trying to remember all my knots from my youth. Never heard of this. Gonna hang it in my shop on the wall so I don`t forget. I have been collecting some of my more complex knots to show folks.

Great video. Way back in scouts, We used to do something similar with a split log down to a long board and then wedge and tie it between two trees and his was the camp kitchen shelf for utensils and other items(no food). You would then run a line over it to hang the stuff off of or place items on the board.

@StarMountainHikes 7 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your video. It gives me dozens of ideas for making camp tables. For instance, you could build small walls like you would build a fire reflector on each side and lay the split logs on top. It would take more wood and saw cuts, but you could make it as wide as you want. Or, you could just pound in four stakes. Place a spacer in the middle of each set of two stakes and lay the split log on top. Then you can lash them together. Great job. Thanks for the ideas!

I did do a video several years ago on what I like to do for fun as it was a question a viewer asked. That video was about my exercise that i try to do daily. That exercise is mountain biking literally in the mountains. It is something that I enjoy. I have not done any videos specifically about staying healthy in the woods but if I were to do that then exercise would be an integral component of that. Here is the video if you are interested in watching it. Mountain Biking The Backwoods Of Alaska kzfaq.info/get/bejne/irFkm7uk1bmcmJ8.html

Nice setup! I was thinking with a tripod setup, you could tie the legs together to a central hub knot. Might have to try this here on our rocky ground. No big logs to split, though, so might have to lash poles together to make wider surfaces. Thanks for sharing this!

Nice bush crafted bench and table. I was going to comment on the other video on another method of gaining the lines on the ends which would be a string and a weight on it, a plumb line. Mark each end with it on its side the carve out the notch. I was also thinking of the string on the bottom of the the legs then thought perhaps it would work on the top of the legs as well and if it settled or the legs spread the cord would bind down the table top. Maybe. Oh and I see your keep your bear spray handy.

Working my way through your video archive, and enjoying them. I think, for the tripod option, for hard ground, I would not have the confidence in my knot-tying skills. So would fear the splaying out and the table collapsing on my legs! My adaptation would be more work, but would have three branches connecting the base of the tripod. Forming a horizontal triangle. Again I would not rely on just my knot-tying. Instead would use log-cabin type notching to fit them together. Then lash that.

Nice set-up Lonnie.. Not sure i understand the angling of the legs. Seems to put them more in the way to me .. but hey It works and I can see where it would add some stability so It's ok in my book... Thanks for sharing!

@WestTNConfed 7 жыл бұрын

I do the same thing he does when I make a mini log seat, because when they are sitting up there is more potential for instability or tilt.

@Obscured1972 7 жыл бұрын

I think it's because the table and bench are the same length. If you angled them the other way you would need a longer table. Also, angling them this way allows for the table to be closer to the bench
