Survival Skills: Firemaking, Southeast US by Nutnfancy

admin — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 03:15:47 +0000

PART 2 OF 2: A detailed fire making exercise in the Southeastern United States by Nutnfancy. Quite a different climate and foliage than the usual Nutnfancy Knife Clinic in the Rocky Mountains, this southern location provided an equally excellent location for wilderness craft. Tools used included the excellent, high value KaBar Heavy Bowie and Cold Steel Roach Belly knives, a Sawvivor backpacking saw, WD40, and a Light My Fire flint and steel. All came along and were used for demonstration purposes but not necessarily by necessity. The intent is to show viable backpacking fire tools that will get the job doneweight and compactness for carry purposes being important considerations. The secret time-saving weapon in this particular time-crunched clinic was one stick of fatwood, discussed in the video. Safety considerations, chopping, cutting, knife philosophy, and fire building techniques are necessarily discussed as the work progresses in this two-part series. If the response is good, I may do more wilderness skills videos but they might be few since they take a lot of work and are time-consuming.

NINJA SKILLS PART 1 DEALING WITH MONKEY ASSASSINS 001

admin — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 19:19:35 +0000

The ‘Bryn Parry Academy of Ninja’ (which recently gained ‘Specialist School Status’) is pleased to release the first of its new series of training videos designed to introduce ‘the skills of the brethren’ to a wider audience. In this first clip ‘good practise’ for dealing with the devilishly dangerous ‘monkey assassin’ is covered. Basically you must give these lethal creatures ‘no quarter’. Armed with a ‘good quality’ Scooby Doo inflatable mallet, you should creep up on them from behind and give them the severest beating possible. If you want more information on this subject then do not read ‘Backpacking with Brian’ by Bryn Parry (available at www.authorhouse.co.uk for £8.30) for the word Ninja does not even appear once. It is a very funny book though………………………………… You can see the front and back cover at www.authorhouse.co.uk
