No zipper, just folds up to tuck away
Completely made with all kinds of materials that I had lying around, an upcycle project 100%
The Velcro is another point I can still change if it doesn't work
I was sure of the 6mm (0.24 inch) thick leather, but the sewing machine with the original needle cut through it like a hot knife through butter.
However, it is probably not made for such abuse
Making my own Bushcraft Gear for Cheap .
I strongly advise against doing this, but I wanted to see the difference whether there was indeed such a big difference between a burnt canned can and one that had not been in the fire.
in the past I have done a long-term experiment, this also covers a duration of one year.
youtu.be/olkdu5PMB-8
This experiment is done under a controlled environment, this area is very humid and swampy at times, the changes of the two cans will soon be visible.
these cans will end up in the trash after they've contributed to this amateurish research.
I do get a bit hungry and decide to try cooking on a rock ,a primitive cooking technique ,
and have a bushcraft breakfast.
It's a hearty breakfast, a kind of paleo diet.
Let's do some caveman cooking .

A real stealth camping in the woods with my tarp.
It's fun to go outside and test your gear and keep your skills sharp.
Making a shelter with your tarp and sleep under it,has a certain feeling of freedom.
A solo overnight is one of the things I really enjoy doing.
looking for a place and trying to pass the night unseen, I see it as a real sport.
what do you like to do in the outdoors?
Survival Gardening and Greenhouse Tour .
How After Lockdowns and being away for a while , bit by bit creating a self-reliance garden ,
but i'm not even near the end of it.
Hope you like it.
Saving seeds is not difficult at all.
I collect seeds of all sorts and types of vegetables.
I've been trying to create a low impact garden for a few years now.
Collecting rainwater and making our own compost, and saving seeds is part of this project.
Preparedness, preparation, SHTF - it can all look a bit like a maniacal obsession with the end of the world.
But even with last year's lockdowns in mind,
it gave me some more to think about.
At the same time, it's really valuable to become even a little more self-reliant in our modern society - that's what growing your own food is all about,
and on top of that your saving money at the end.
The garden is built in three sections, the family garden, survival garden (vegetable garden with greenhouse) and project garden.
While I'm working on the family garden I get the idea of something I've bumped into on a regular basis, cooking with the sun.
To try it ,I took a few supplies I had laying around and just as an impulsive experiment I wanted to see if this worked in my part of the world too,
and if it does, it gives possibilities for the future.

The Eagles of Mercy
When I visited France in the summer last year I went to the beaches of Normandy, we made an itinerary and there was a little story I read years ago in a little article about two privates,
I had to visit this little church from the 12th century.
What was going to be a small stop to visit this place actually took 6 hours.
Such a small place had a huge impact on me, I even searched for the 2 who died that night, I could only find one.
I borrowed Ken Moore's interview from the internet, my voice wouldn't do justice if I heard it, it's his story not mine.
I honestly don't know why Steven Spielberg didn't make a film of the ordeal that these two privats had.
If you're in the church and know the story that happened there, you really have to admit miracles do exist.
Angoville-au-Plain is a small village when I say small, I mean really small. there is really nothing to see, but here is this beautiful little church, in this picturesque French countryside dating back to the 12th century, home to maybe forty or fifty people, a few houses and a narrow road .
Robert Wright and Kenneth Moore were medics in the 101st Airborne Division. They were dropped behind enemy lines in the early hours of June 6. Instead, they landed on the Normandy beaches they did in Angoville-au-Plain.
The medics Wright and Moore used this small church in the center of the village as an aid station, treating wounded soldiers, most of them from a bad jump, back injuries and broken legs, and a few local girls, Lucienne and her friend Jean-Vienne, who both were wounded by a mortar shell.
the two medics brought the injured back to the church with a wheelbarrow
The battle raged on for three days, with both sides occupying the village at different times. When the US forces were forced to withdraw, Wright and Moore were told to leave, Bob and Ken looked at each other, '' and said, 'We'd better both stay and continue treating the wounded with just the personal medical kits that they gathered from the wounded soldiers.
The medical kits they brought with them were lost during their jump.
They saved 80 people in the church.
German soldiers were forcing to enter the church, but when they saw that Germans laying in the church , being treated as they did to the Americans, they even informed the two medics that they would send a doctor, probably the next morning.
The German made a cross sign and left the medics to treat the injured.
The two medics insisted that those who entered the church should leave their weapons outside.
During the fighting, a mortar shell hit the roof of the church and an American tank shot through the church windows, thinking that there were Germans in the church.
two German soldiers came down from the church tower with their weapons and surrendered. The two medics had no idea they were there all along.
Robert Wright and Kenneth Moore saved 80 lives in their ordeal of three days without any sleep, including one of two local girls, Jean-Vienne. her friend, Lucienne, died of her injuries.
Both served in other battles, including the Battle of the Bulge.
And that is near where i live.
Robert Wright expressed his wish to be buried in the church, but bureaucracy made this impossible. Some of his ashes were smuggled into France to be buried in the cemetery.
The unofficial headstone simply reads 'R.E.W.', Wright's initials.
Kenneth Moore. born in Los Angles
Born: November 5, 1924;
Died: December 7, 2014 (aged 90)
Ken Moore had his ashes spread over his beloved northern California
Robert E Wright. born in Ohio.
Birth 9 Feb 1924
Death 21 Dec 2013 (aged 89)
This was one of these stories that really stood out for me.
Hope you like it.
So while I want to get started after some planning.
I went into the garden and i noticed i can use them in a different way.
Let,s build something and try it out.
This is the result if you don't focus on cleaning up.
Making a bird trap with things that are here in the garden.

This video is not only to put everything in perspective, but also to honor a legend in the bushcraft community who was known and respected all over the world ,he passed away a year ago.
only 16.5 acres big, each small marker set in the ground has two soldiers buried underneath.
Most of them died in those few intense weeks of WWII, between 6th June and 20th August 1944.
Age from 16 to 72,but most of them where in the age range of 18.
In the centre is a large memorial mound covering the mass grave of 207 unknown and 89 identified warriors.
The German Tank Ace, Michael Wittmann, is buried here, together with his crew.
You can still see the traces of the war very well, even after so many years.

After I lost everything the first time I made the video, I omitted the photos and the drone photos on the second attempt.
this is a short video about the cemetery of the car.
This is well hidden in the forest, hundreds of cars from the 40s, 50s and 60s are scattered throughout the area. It has not yet been confirmed, many of the cars would have belonged to the US Army who left the cars after the Second World War.
Sit back and relax

before I left on the road trip I wrote an email and received an answer, the proposal was that I went to Nils Olsson Dalahästar in Nusnäs.
the plan was to bring a national symbol of Sweden as a so-called Dala horse.
I had a very nice conversation with the guy who is carving the horse.
From there we drove to a waterfall where I could try the drone, I only had it for 2 weeks and I still have to learn to fly.
Part 8 brings us to a crazy moose man and the exploring of a silver mine.
And a visit to The Rök runestones.
It is one of the most famous runestones, featuring the longest known runic inscription in stone.

Built in the 12th and 13th centuries, this was Scandinavia's first Gothic cathedral to be built out of red bricks.
It has been the mausoleum of the Danish royal family since the 15th century. Porches and side chapels were added up to the end of the 19th century.
A very beautiful church,we loved it
