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...

P1130088 I came across this neat Instructables article for making a pocket sized oil lantern and I wanted to make one for myself. Aside from being somewhat of a bastardized kudlik, it doesn’t really fall into the bushcraft or stone tools categories, so I’ve added a new one for self reliance; hopefully with additional articles to follow in the future. Anyway, the construction process was straight forward and simple enough that I won’t describe any of the details involved in making it because that was already done in the article. The lamp’s versatility, small size and ease of portability gives it some potential camping and bushcraft applications and it may be worth taking one along next time out.
