Hello from Pottsville,Pennsylvania fellow bushcrafters.I've been involved several years into self reliance skills involving self sustenance in the wilderness.I practice skills like starting a fire using flint and steel,and with ferrocerium rods,knot tying and uses,identification and foraging edible and medicinal herbaceous and woody plants,just to mention a few.I'm also a novice level leatherworking buff,wilderness related photographer(novice level),and enjoy camping,fishing,hunting, and hiking,doing so since I'm ten years old(Boy Scout).At my campsite,where I've setup a semi-permanent shelter/campsite,I spend on the average a good bit of time on overnight and day trips.I've fashioned/built primitive furniture(benches,a raised bed,tables,etc as well as primitive tools.Never been in a survival type situation but,knock on wood,have a better chance than the average Joe.I've yet to start a friction fire or set a deadfall and catch my dinner(snares,traps,etc only permitted by law in a survival type situatiom).I carry a firearm(.22 rifle)on all my hikes,mostly for plinking and protection.I'm also a member of bushcraftusa.com forum,my user name Flint_2016,with over 1000 likes and 385 messages.Feel free to check me out.
