A properly thought out survival kit is one of the most important items you can have. This kit, along with your EDC gear, functions not only as a stand alone resource but also as the foundation that your other packs are built around. More on this idea in my book and on our website.
I like to build things without cordage whenever possible by just relying on tight fitting wood joints. It's good fun and a great way to practice your carving skills. In this case, I needed a sawhorse to buck some logs into firewood and decided to make one utilizing techniques out of my book "21st Century Bushcraft". .
I thought those of you who read my previous article on the rise of fake environmentalism would be interested in knowing that it was removed from a popular forum called Bushcraft USA where I have (now had) a vendor account. All of my notifications and likes were also wiped clean. A big thank you needs to go out to Dave Rubin and the Locals community for maintaining a free place to speak and share ideas.
