New fire kit from me is up on the website. All you need in a compact kit.

I’ve been asked by WoodlandsTV to produce a few films on bushcraft activities for the woods. Here’s the first one I made a short while ago. How I make feather sticks. If you haven’t tried it before you should, it’a a great knife skill to master and an excellent way to light a fire.

Reposting with Christmas Wishes to @watches_in_nature Merry Christmas fam! Tell me what everyone got today that they you excited about. Hearing about that will be my present. My gift to you is this pic series of the Isotope Hydrium in the lovely snow laden scenery. Here’s a watch that has surprised me this year. I’ve been following Isotope’s journey for a while now & I have admired each release. As you all know, pics only convey so much, getting hands on with a watch is when you can truly admire it’s beauty. I was caught completely off guard by this watch and it’s quality. We all are tired of hearing that “punches above” bullshit. I’m tired of hearing it too. Let me say this though, this watch knocks the crap out of a lot of watches that cost 3-4x more. The bezel and crown function are flawless. The bezel sits completely flush against the case, all the way around the circumference of the bezel. That was a pet peeve of mine with the Rolex I owned. Every single bezel not only didn’t sit flush against the case, there would be a gap bigger on one side Vs the other between the bezel and the case. Don’t even get me started on the misalignment between the bezel marker and the 12H position. That’s not the case here with the Isotope. The bezel when returned to the top position, the marker lines up perfectly with the 12H position. So those are just some examples how this microbrand has better quality control than one of the biggest hype brands, in conclusion, that’s why I can say with all sincerity that this watch punches way above its asking price. Makes me sad that a large majority just accepts shit quality control just because a name on the dial is a hugely recognizable. A higher price tag doesn’t mean better quality. Have a wonderful day watch fam who celebrate this holiday & watchfam who don’t celebrate happy Sunday. 📸 @watches_in_nature #macrophotography #naturephotography #nature #bushcraft #bushcraftknife #bushcrafter #diverswatches #camplife #outdoorslife #adventurer #adventuretime #outdoorsman #adventure #watchaddict #watchfam #apocalypse #fieldandstream #wildernesssurvival #outdoorsurvival #badass #autumncolors #wanderer #hiker #winter #snow #christmas (at Christmas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmmauj4LOpz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Warrior Bites: Clan Tools

[Image ID: Reedwhisker, a black RiverClan warrior cat, sits behind two terracotta pots, some strips of willowbark, a traditional wooden pot called a firkin, and a rock. He has a stick in his mouth.]

Warriors of the Clans are shown in-canon to be able to weave, dig tunnels, decorate with shells, and do whatever it is that BloodClan’s got going on with those collars and manicures. Have you considered what other tools a semi-realistic warrior could handle?

A guide to the various tools and methods that the Clans can use to prepare complex dishes, including the equipment needed for smoking, baking, pickling, and so on. Part of the Warrior Bites series for Bonefall’s Clan Culture.

(The art in this guide was once again provided by my partner who hasn’t read a single page of warrior cats in their life but so help me god I’ll drag them down with me)

Tools + Equipment

Fire Starting

Containers: Twine + Baskets + Buckets

Cookware: Smokers, Ovens, “Grillstones“

1. Fire Starting

Flint can be used to start a fire, especially for Clans that lack lumber. Because flint is most easily found around the Mothermouth, it’s associated with StarClan’s glow and considered somewhat divine.

But for those situations without a flint starter, the Clans generally teach their apprentices the paw-drill method using a spindle. But these days, SkyClan uses stolen Glass to start fires quicker and easier than any other Clan…

Except on cloudy days, where some unfortunate apprentice still gets saddled with spindle duty.

2. Containers: Twine + Baskets + Buckets

RiverClan has the easiest access to twine; Willowbark can be peeled right off the tree and used without any processing for simple string to tie things with. WindClan uses woven grass as twine. ShadowClan, SkyClan, and ThunderClan are able to make cordage from Blackberry brambles.

Once the cat has twine, it can be woven into a simple basket to gather things, like berries, clams, or insects. In order to carry liquids, forested Clans can create firkins-- a small wooden bucket that requires some carpentry ability, namely creating wooden nails.

But these tremble before the value of pottery, which is needed to store liquids, ferment and pickle food, and create stew.

Pottery is made from clay, which has to be baked in order to go from wet mud to terracotta. RiverClan is responsible for making the majority of new pottery because of the river, and ShadowClan’s marsh gives them lots of access to low-quality clay.

WindClan was once unmatched in the quality of their pottery thanks to tunneling leading them to the finest clay deposits known to the Clans. Though SkyClan is now rivaling the finest ancient WindClan pottery, due to their willingness to steal buckets from twolegs.

(Leafstar says, “if you cant make a firkin, store-bought is fine”)

[Image ID: Leafstar, the brown tabby-and-cream Warrior cat leader of SkyClan, sits behind a counter in front of an audience presenting a man-made firkin, parodying shopping channels. A speech bubble says, “Meow meow meow meow meow, storebought is meow.”]

3. Cookware: Smokers, Ovens, “Grillstones“

A smoker is very easy to construct, all that’s needed is some straight branches, twine, and fire.

First, a round pit is dug into the ground and filled with soaked woodchips. It is important they’re damp, because wet wood gives off more smoke than dry. Then, three beams are set and tied at the top, like a triangle. From there, a shelf is made inside of the beams. Multiple shelves can be made if a lot of food is being smoked at once.

ThunderClan wraps the smoker in a leather pelt, to keep the smoke in. Their prowess with smoking and seasoning a wide range of meats gives them the title of BBQ champions.

[Image ID: A primitive smoker setup, made of three sticks leaned against each other in a triangular shape and tied at the top. Two shelves are tied into the structure, the top row with minnows and the bottom with hanging strips of meat.]

An oven is a large construction. Capable of cooking several meals at once, each clan would have just one to use communally. Because the communal oven is such a big project, each Clan would have one that looks unique to their environment.

ThunderClan’s, for example, is flat and made of stone, simple in design but very sturdy and capable of cooking a lot of meat at once.

[Image ID: A stone oven made of flat, piled rocks. A fire is lit at the bottom and meat is browning on the top shelf. A stick leans against the side.]

For the quickest and easiest way to make a hot meal, meat is roasted on a spit or loose stick over an open fire. The best sear comes from a large, flat slab of rock propped up over a flame, known to the clans as a grillstone.

(Clan blood be damned that kittypet can work a grill)
