Could you be a little more specific on what you're doing and how you're doing it? What type of knife? That sort of thing. Your question is really general, if you want a specific answer, you'll need to ask a specific question. But there are quite a few members that make knives and have all the info you'll need.

Enjoyed checking out the "The Three-Stick Roycroft Pack Frame."

I've made a number of pack frames over the years using one of my grandfather's as a model. Not too hard to make and very comfortable:

Your back only comes in contact with the rawhide lace, so no sore spots, and in hot weather you don't end up with your back soaked with sweat.

I made the three stick pack frame it worked every nice I also made a canvas pack for it. I did awalk in camp at the end of oct. last year .I rolled all my gear in my diamond fly and strapped it to the frame leaving the pack empty when I got to camp I unstrapped the diamond fly unrolled it and every thing is at hand when camp was set up the pack was empty and ready for a trek in to the woods no digging in the pack to find something

well i know i'm slow about getting things done, but i'm working on a couple of things right now for pictorials, though not all on this list.

firstly, i'm making a pretty simple fletching jig.

next, and the reason for the fletching jig, i'm making a matched set of hardwood sucker arrow shafts. these include pitch and sinew mounted obsidian points, self knocks and turkey wing feather fletchings.

if i can get ahold of the canvas; i'm doing a sort of hybrid sweat house, using a canvas skin over tipi-frame lodge, and a cast iron pot belly sauna stove. i've been on the lookout for a suitable stove, and lo and behod, one was given to me the day before yesterday.

i'll be finishing a couple bows soon, so i'll show how i make my fishing line bow strings, including carribou fur silencers and coat-button thread serving.

for extended outdoors trips, i would like to demonstrate smudging, both body and clothing/bedding, with local plants. for example; we have an abundance of invasive eucalyptus around here witch i find is great at minimizing body odor. juniper and cedar are also great.

i wish the weather where on my side this winter, as i've not been getting in much mushroom hunting since i got my new camera.

here is the simple fletching jig i've made, and the proccess of fletching arrows with it. the jig could even be made expediently in the feild, by using a neatly split wood.

at the top of the jig, where the twp pieces meet, the edges are beveled to 45 degrees, to allow clearance for the fletching feather's spine. all that is requires further is two lengths of cordage and some wedges of wood, bone, antler, or as in the images, whatever happens to be handy.

canid
02-04-2009, 08:05 PM
yep. the turkey feathers i buy come in pairs, invariably one left and one right.

if i buy 4 black and 2 olive, i end up with two arrows with different irrientations. as long as the spine is appropriate and they fly true, it dosen't bother me enough to match the set to all one wing.

I agree about them flying true, A friend of mine is a turkey hunt guide down here, And brings me Several sets of wings a year and I use both left and right, And they work the same to me.

there is a great website called native american tech. ( www.nativetech.org) Its the basic for artcraft to clothes making and other great resources from native americans. I love studying about indian bushcraft because they are the best in wilderness survival and art. Basically, survival is a form of art. There is also inquiry (www.inquiry.net), another site. It concentrates in bushcraft art, navigation, games, food, shelters, trapping and snaring and other skills. Its between the westerners and indians activities. If you can help me with other great websites that is similar, which would be much appreciated.

I'm curious , I looked at the site and didn't see anything in it about making bows or sling shots . I've heard of a device called a stone bow and am looking for a site that details the construction of such a device . I've read that Fredrick Remington (the painter in the 1800s) described stone bows in his travels among the native american tribes . He reported that they took up to fox size game at about 90 yards . The bow shoots small stones or marbles instead of arrows . I believe the clay marbles would be much easier to make than an arrow and if you are foraging you would be more likely to be bagging small game than large game .

It's sad but so few people make things anymore.
In my time I have worked with Stone, Metal, Wood and plastics. Designed and build Large radio Controlled Aircraft, repaired and modified Cars, rebuilt Motorcycles from the bare frame, built Structures and Sheds, made Fishing Poles and flies and a multitude of things.
But, these days most seem to want to buy ready made.
Very few seem to know how to Knit, darn and repair clothes or any of the older skills.
Times have changed and so many skills have been lost. Most younger people would much rather play on their computer or be on their cell phone.
As a boy I spent many happy hours fishing and camping on a river island. I would Kayak with my friends and learned so much about wildlife.
But sadly those times are gone for most and people hate to be in a bad reception area.
Is there anything we can do to turn this around, to inspire folks to make things for themselves and acquire new skills?
Imagine a world where nobody makes anything anymore and does not know how to repair anything. They will be exploited by those who can.
Case in point, a few weeks ago I met a Guy who told me he was charged $50 to have a wire re-soldered on his electric guitar. It was just a very simple re-soldering job...nothing special !

I've made some items from Oetzi the Icemans kit.

Oetzi was found with an intact extremely well preserved (4 piece) Bearskin Cap. I copied the measurement of the main horizontal piece, which was 52cm x 7.5. I made mine a tad longer, with an extra black fur piece at the front (My head is bigger than 52cm). the other pieces were a bit hit and miss, as the measurements and explanation of the shapes were quite open to interpretation i.e.: 'wedge' shape and 'pointed oval' shape.

Thanks very much Roel, I'm glad you like it. I see you're Dutch. I like the Dutch, very hospitable people. :-)

I remember back in 1988, when I drove an old Bedford van all over Europe, with my brother and 2 other mates. What a relief it was to cross the border and speak English for once, without getting filthy stares. We'd spent some time in France previously, visiting Normandy (Omaha Beach) and all the other wartime bunkers, Beaches and harbours etc, then Paris. The French were downright rude to us, as they thought we were English. Once we made it into Holland the young people were quite happy, to speak English to us. Those were the days before most European countries had mandatory English lessons in schools.

I still remember visiting Arnhem and the famous Bridge (A Bridge Too Far movie) over the Rhine.

An awesome country to visit.

Did someone burn your shelter down?

Humans can be right f@#$ers

I love the group shot of you guys going primitive. You're all having a ball. That's what life is about. :-)

Keep posting mate, I'm really enjoying seeing what you guys in Holland get up to.

Out standing....What is the shelter called?

The shelter is similar what is called a "Wikiup or Wigwam" here.....

This one was put up at a re-enactment camp, but used canvas covers.
Grass mats, bark, and hides were more traditional.

@Hunter, we called it a Mesolithic hut. Archaeologists found marks in de ground who were most likely from a shelter, 8500 years old. And we used those marks to build our hut.

Very cool. What are the polished stones you are using, and also, how the hell did you get holes in them? It took me a week to drill a single hole into a Texas flint spearpoint once. (the one and only time I bothered to try it, I even used a diamond tipped drill and modern tools.)

Agreed.....
Being older, do like the bigger pic's as is...Also lazy, so like just looking at them.

Thumbnails need to be clicked...., than "back" on the page,... to get back, and some times have to re-load the thread.

Thanks for the format change.
