Random thoughts on axes, knives, axe use, woodworking, bushcraft, wilderness survival, camping, hiking, and gear review. Thursday, June 11, 2015. Trekking Poles and Why I Use Them. So, I did some research and ended up with an older 2012 model of the Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork, which I got at a discount. They did indeed work well as a center pole for the SL3. What was surprising however was that I started using them a lot while walking as well. So, that’s why I started using trekking poles and...

As you guys have probably noticed, I’ve been away from the blog for the past two months. As I mentioned a while back, I was in the process of buying a house, and the past two months I have been moving and getting the house situated. It has unfortunately kept me away from the woods. I had been sick the past few days, and...

Trip Report: Neversink River Fly Fishing 9/27/14 – 9/28/14. Following one of the trails I was able to make my way to the river fairly quickly. I walked along for a bit until I found an area I liked. I put on my waders and wading boots, and set up my rod. I took some pictures of the equipment, and I will do a separate posts about it later this week, since...

Wood Trekker: October 2014

Trip Report: Stewart Forest Pheasant Hunt 10/19/14. Rich, I and the dog headed out for another try. The wind was stronger than expected, so we had to stick close to the dog. With high winds the birds tend to spook more easily, and can flush out further away from you and the dog than then ordinarily would. Usually the bird will separate into two parts. On...

Alright, so it’s not exactly DIY, it’s more of a Frankenstein stove. I’m also not sure it qualifies as ultralight, but it is the lightest I have seen. The foundation of this stove was the Fire-Maple Turbo FMS-F5. The stove works just as it did before. The burner is not effected in any way. Tuesday, July 29, 2014. The owners of Bl...

Sorry for the delayed trip report guys. I has been a busy week. This is my trip report from last weekend. It was a busy one, and I covered a lot of ground. It was nice to follow the streams. The weather was pretty warm that day, and having ready access to water was nice. By mid morning I arrived at my destination, which t...

Wood Trekker: Weedless Lure Set Up Tutorial

http://woodtrekker.blogspot.com/2015/08/weedless-lure-set-up-tutorial.html

Random thoughts on axes, knives, axe use, woodworking, bushcraft, wilderness survival, camping, hiking, and gear review. Monday, August 10, 2015. Weedless Lure Set Up Tutorial. I start with a gummy lure and an offset shank hook. In the above picture you see a Havoc 4 inch Pit Boss lure, Skeet Reese Design, and a #4/0 offset shank hook. You can use a regular hook of a similar size, but it works better with the offset shank. The reason it works is that when fish go after the lure, they hit it. When the...

Be Careful What You Wish For! A 1909 image of Theodore Roosevelt, pioneer and leader in wildlife conservation, on a hunt in Africa. Of course, we all know that this will last about another week and then everyone will forget about it all together. Do you remember the big outrage over rhino hunting a year or so back? I can certainly go t...

Random thoughts on axes, knives, axe use, woodworking, bushcraft, wilderness survival, camping, hiking, and gear review. Monday, May 18, 2015. Not All Tinder Fungus Is The Same. You guys may remember that a few weeks back I did a post where I referenced a show where one type of fungus was shown, but another type actually used for the fire lighting. Well, I was out and about and figured I would pick up two of the most often confused fungi and give you a quick comparison. And Horseshoe Fungus (. Chaga is m...
