Traditional with modern is how I’ve trained and taught others to survive since 1988. You realize after being a backpacker that the traditional is awesome and necessary skills to have, but you embrace the modern so you can enjoy the outdoors more. Im at a point in my life where I’m about to venture more into a nomadic type life. I’ve been this kind of thinker my whole life, but stuck in this society’s idea of normal. So I’m hoping to have some property in the next year as a base camp, then roam some.
@kobeysturgeon8671 10 місяців тому
I think that the use of traditional methods and modern technology together is the next stage of of evolution. The mental and physical health benefits that come by living with the land and the ease and productivity that come with using modern technologies means we could be healthier, happier, work less, pursue more passions and relearn the lost knowledge we’ve been living with out the last few generations. I believe this is what many people are missing in their life’s is a deep connection with their work, life, community, nature and wellbeing that’s unattainable in modern fast paced society.

There is a great section on different wood and what to use for what kind of job and a similar section for tools as well. The projects in it are things you probably would have a go at with clear instructions, pictures, videos and diagrams throughout. Great for a beginner/amateur wood worker.

It's not real though. The guy is almost entirely dependent upon the goodwill of others. The land he stays on for free, the truck he was given for free, the horses he was given for free, and the fan funding he gets to pay for all of his supplies. There's nothing heroic about this. He's living a literal fantasy life. Good for him and all, but there's genuinely nothing admirable about it.

I have a heater just like that one....I modified it by adding two parallel angle iron lengths on the inside , one on the left and one on the right, about 4 " down from the top running lengthwise ......On top of those rails I put a solid piece of heavier steel that is 6" shorter than the overall stove length and that has a handle on it that comes out in the front over the feed door so when I start the fire I build the initial fire all the way in the back and the slide pulled to the feed door front end ....Once the fire is going I slide the plate to the back closing off the easy escape up to the stove pipe thus making the flame / heat travel from the back to the front , over the plate and back to the back then out the exhaust pipe.....Makes for a lot more efficiency and heat production ......
