Nicolas Lenze   01.06.22 Carbon fiber has been used in far more industries than ours. The strong but lightweight material is used in car parts and even protective clothing for people who ride motorcycles.

We start work on building a woodland workshop and off grid carving shack using simple hand tools. Part 1 sees us build a simple lean-to style bushcraft shelter using a basic roundwood timber frame structure. We burn the ends of the logs to make them more rot resistant as they are buried in the ground.

Rusty S.   01.06.22 In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves reviews (and mini-torture tests) the (super-leaked) NEW Smith & Wesson CSX, or “Chief’s Special X”. Is this just a metal S&W Shield Plus? No – it’s also hammer fired. And single action only. And smaller. And lighter. And holds more ammo. You know what, just watch

Andy Husek   01.06.22 In this review, we are going to explore a number of meat and food processing products made by MEAT! Your Maker.

The building of the bushcraft saxon house with hand tools only continues. This time we build the door frame, wattle the side walls and build the gable ends out of logs. The timber frame structure is much sturdier now that we have built the rafters and battens or lath. It also helped that we used

Luke Cuenco   12.19.21 Modern hunters and riflemen have the benefit of a lot of advancement. However, the concept of the shooting stick or shooting sticks has been around for far longer than most realize.

Ben Ryder   12.20.21 In this review, we are going to take a look at the Springfield Armory Model 2020 Waypoint, a must have for any hunter.
