I use a 3 metal O ring for making any tri- or quad-pod cooking frame or seats. Then buy a 6 foot length of 40# double-linkhardware chain. At the ends and 1 foot apart, crimp in 60-80# S hooks. This trammel chain is SOOOO grabby. Use it for any height of cooking. Can also use in so many ways of chaining up other camp shelters (tipi, hogan, wigwam, A frame. Use the same O ring and chain trammel making a tri- or quad-pod camp chair. O ring the poles (upside down tipi, and then use the chain trammel and weave back and forth between the poles for the seat Could even do the reverse. Chain up the poles with the S hooks, then run chain around the poles, and have the O ring as the center of the seat (and weave the chain in/out of the ring. Same chain for a tent or hammock tarp ridge line, hanging water purification filter bag, hang ruck, clothes, boots, airdry wet clothes near fire, .

I watch all your videos. I LOVE how you explain everything and show how it's done. (That is obviously the teacher in you, and I'm sure you'll be missed in the school system over there. I own property on a freshwater brook in the small island province of PEI, Canada. I am in the beginning phases of building a camp similar to yours. I've also gotten ideas from Survival Lily and Primitive Technology as well as Carlisle 195. But you are the best at EXPLAINING not only how but WHY

hi, todd here from poland. what i use as ropes? on tuesday in my town [miechow, pearl of malopolska] a second hand shop sells all clothes at one dollar 2o cents a kilo. so i go there and buy all the ties [krawts] they have. one kilo is about 35 ties = 55 meters of rope. i do not take the cotton ones. i take the silk and polyeste r [plastic] ones. they will last much longer. and dont worry in no time you dont notice them anymore in the woods, nature colors them quickly. .greets

The crane is clever. I particularly like that you freely admit that you're learning as you go; refreshing. Just one question: surely it's a jib rather than a gib? Suggestion: install a rocket stove alongside, or instead of, the fire pit. Loads more heat from far less fuel. One catering can and a couple of soup cans, job done. Keep it up. I too follow you and your dad on TAF. He can't swim? No wonder he looks nervy when the sea swells hit the boat

May I make a suggestion for a lot hanger? Reverse the hanging stick, use the natural shoulder of the stick to hold the pot bail over the fire. Then make more notches a couple of inches apart, like the one you make for the pot bail. Then make a notch on the crain to match the notches on the inverted hanging stick. That way you can adjust the height of the pot over the fire by moving the hanging stick up or down on different notches.

Love he way you're building up a camp. i've watched a bunch of minecraft videos where they build up their base and thought it would be a great idea to do something along those lines with real world survival. This is the closest thing i've seen so far and think it's a really interesting technique to the bushcraft community. Quality is great and I hope to see more Thanks mate, good job.

Great job on the cooking crane. Good idea with the second piece of wood on the post. I glad it worked out as well as it did. I was think not only would it keep the fire from burning you arm for the crane. But it would keep you from getting poked in the head with the armature. Really good job I think I could build one of these after watching this video. Thanks

I feel like the layout for the shelter isn't conducive for moving around it well. The fire pit is in an awkward spot in front of the secondary shelter and the a frame should be on the backside away from the wind. I'm wanting to make a big out shelter of my own and I really like how you have built you walls and the log benches.
