    Default bushcraft loom

    hi guy just wondering if any of you have done a bushcraft loom as not many people know about this or they have seen articles on it
    i feel like this could help many people on shelter building for thatching and bed roll matts as it save energy on shelter building and can make thatching twice as quick ive posted pics of a matt i made in under five mins

    Nice job, cool project.
    I made a dried cattail mat the same way many years ago. It made a decent sleeping mat. I learned from a guy that made mats for covering a shelter at a rendezvous in McHenry, Illinois.

    Here is a link to some photos I found of the guy that taught me. It took about 5 minutes to learn the principal of making a reed mat.

    Here is a good description of the type of Wigwam they made.
