I love modern tech, and I always find myself getting excited about the next big thing. But I love to spend time outdoors and I find making things myself just to be so much more satisfying. I'm only fourteen, but someday I hope to earn enough money to buy a couple acres of land close to a city, so that I could have a space with no modern tech and just pure nature.

So glad I came across this channel. I love the simple joy you share, and generous sharing of these methods. I'm very much into the "native indigenous white man" area of research, esp in view of current times, as I believe it's a very little known and barely taught if at all to the upcoming generations. I'm one who believes survival and bushcraft is a very pacifying and unifying hobby that can heal all kinds of society hurts. Each culture can teach others their own unique survival skills in their own environments, and I support greatly this channel as being part of the ancient European (yes even tho you're in the US!) indigenous bushcrafting and survival skills. It's amazing how our forefathers were able to use this gear to take down the giant ice age big game of their time! I just wish here in the UK we would be permitted bow and spear hunting. It's crazy that we can go out with an air rifle which is not guaranteed at all to bring down the game like a good hit with a decent poundage bow and arrow would. We have some mixed up people making the hunting laws here!
@jackp4923 жыл бұрын
I agree I feel here in the UK we never went away from the old no hunting deer in the kings forest, like you can hunt but you need to be rich, own a house you can install a safe into, be in a social group that owns large quantities of land with animals, and I can't go bag a muntjac or fish with a net even though private companies can go scrape the channel pair trawling, it's a joke
@jackp4923 жыл бұрын
Although it's probably because if most of the population is in the cities they're not gona care about reform, and all they hear about with hunting is the fox hunt they're only presented with a self indulgent and controversial image of hunting

Great video. I really have no idea what I’m getting into here, but I bought a knife at an antique store ‘cuz it looked cool and the price was right. I can send you pictures if you like, but the distinguishing characteristic of the piece is that it’s a translucent amber color stone with areas that are red. Initially I thought the red was painted on, but held to the light you can see that the color runs through it. Do you happen to know what I’ve got here?
