I´ve a book about stone age skills, by ... Sorry, I´m so bad with names, if you are interested I will look at it. Anyway there´s a picture of a string made of human hair. They say you should make it wet before working it. (My wife has long hair... :rolleyes: ) I tried spruce roots, same...

Hi! I think one of the main question is: Do I some harm? That is in my opinion correlated to the quantity of people using a spicific area and the time it takes to regrowt. And of course which plant I use, how spread is this particular plant here? It is a big difference if I cut down a...

Hi! What kind of primitive bow drill string you use? Ok, tendons, rawhide, leather (brain tanned of course) But what is with plant fibers? Mors is writing in his book that it is very difficult to obtain plantfibers that are strong enough. But there are folk out there some doing this on...

Hi svagman! That´s interesting. I´m going to move house to australia ,too. There´s a big chance that it will be Tasmania. Where there are you going to live? I´m a litle bit concerned about the "now trace" filosophi there... What helps the great nature if you can´t be part of it? I´m now...

Wow, that list was what I looked for, thank you a lot Mike :You_Rock_ I allready found a lot about bushtucker on the net, even som kind of magazine. Water should also be a big problem so i hope I will find something in the books you rekommended. (Of course i know a bit, like Ray stuff, but...

Tourists? Are them dangerous? What is the bushcraft being like in A. Is there any chance to catch upp with the natives if you wasn´t born there? I feel that this is nearly possible in the north (like lappland etc) but Ißve a lot respect of the diversity of the australien bush... Heiko

Hi BOD! Probably somewhere at the cost in the north... Cairns? Lite more south or north? Depends a lot on the job I hopefully get :rolleyes: We really would like to live a bit outside. Now here in Lappland our next neigbour is 4 km away.... wouln`t like it much closer :D But we have...

Thank you for the tips. I don´t like the production line that much of the scandinavian knifemakers. It´s realy often a bit "fast made" And if I have a scandinavien type tang I would like to make the hole by myself that I know it´s proper done. They dont spent 2 hour filing the shape of the...

Thank you kindly for the tips. I ordered the DVD. As well I found some books about australien bushcraft while googling on the DVDs. Though, quite expensibe shipping costs from down under... ...get them anyway :D I feels realy exiting to move house to the other part of the world with...

Hi! As I live in swedish lappland I tend to make my own puukos. Handforked carbon-blades (2-3 mm thick, about 8 cm long) with a nice antler/wood handle. So far I never encountert rust problems and was always very satisfied with the performance. I´m now moving house to a tropical...

Hello! I´m planning to move to Australia (Northern Queensland) in the beginng of next year. Do you can give me some tips about bushcraft-books down under? I read the survival manual of the police which I got from Abbe (thanks mate) but of course there must be more. Tips for plant and...

Thank you, I found this too, the problem is, that you pay a fortune to get the films. I will end upp paying more than 700 €, i hoped to get it cheaper... greetings from lappland, Heiko

Hello! Is anyone here doing the winter course of Mors Kochanski 2006? I have booked and it would be nice to know if anyone else here will do it. Should be quite difficuld to have the right outfit, because anything between +5 to - 40 degrees celisius could be exspectet... Snow, cold...
