First Susquehanna Today I finished up a Susquehanna point that I had originally worked into a little biface a few days ago. The material is keokuk chert and probably wasn't historically used with...

Fire Log Here I go, playing with fire again! This is something I saw Ray Mears demonstrate in his Bushcraft video series. It is a neat concept that requires a dry and seasoned...

Plevna Replication This Plevna impostor measures about 3-3/4" long and 1-7/8" wide. It is made from Keokuk Burlington chert. I call it an impostor because, try as I might, I couldn't quite get...

P1130146 This is just the coolest thing. I learned about this from Fredde over at SwedishBushcraft. If you haven’t seen this guys work, do yourself a favor and check out his YouTube site. Not only is his take on bushcraft interesting and original, but his craftsmanship is superb and the way he uses a knife is an absolute joy to watch. And these hooks are just one example of some of the cool stuff you’ll see from him. You’ll get more from his video and the associated comments than I can explain here so be sure to check it out if you’re at all interested in making this for yourself. As you may be able to see in the photo, mine isn’t nearly as refined as Fredde’s, but it works. I can’t say that for my first two attempts – they barely held together.
