Lol... I was gonna be laughed at for not showing the whole process this time!

I hadn't thought of it either but the Bushclass lesson showed an example of one so I went for it! Works really well.

Surely we wouldn’t laugh at you

Speak for yourself

A couple more beer can projects... Added an alcohol stove and a whistle to the lantern!

No beer was harmed in the processing of these cans!

Finally figured out a figure 4 trap...

Found my sticks...

Got it laid out...

After a few attempts I finally got the notches figured out...

And my prey is in sight, will he take the bait?

And..... BAM!

Cheers to the victor!

Had a project from over at BCUSA that fits here... Using my EDC knife made a set of 2-hole/3-hole toggles and tarp pegs and used them to set up a hasty poncho tarp shelter.

My toggles and pegs...

Pegs in use...

Guy line with toggle in use...

Finished product...

Completed another Bushclass intermediate lesson to use a saw for batoning/splitting wood... I was genuinely surprised at how well this worked...

You're killin' Jay!

Here is another Figure 4 trap.

Thanks! I'm having a lot of fun with the lessons!

LostViking said:

I've been working on getting better at these too! I need to try them with larger items like in your picture!

LostViking · Dec 12, 2020

The hardest part is getting it all set and then loading it with the weight.
Piece of cake with two people, more challenging solo.

Jayclimber · Dec 14, 2020

More figure 4 trap work...

Jayclimber · Jan 10, 2021

Made a new Bucksaw today... Much more solid then the 1st one.

From start to finish...

Made a giant candle lantern out of an old Canadian Club whiskey tin to leave at camp...

O:gweh · Feb 6, 2021

That is pretty cool looking Jay. I love it.

Thanks! I've been looking for an old lantern for keeping at camp and they are hard to find and expensive. So I have some of these different old tins and figured I'd just make some kind of lantern.

SSG Nasty · Feb 6, 2021

That will certainly make a nice addition to the camp.

Yep

I have made a few of these for the early American rendezvous I do.

There is nothing like a simple candle light in the woods. Primal and calming.
