Nice job on the stick. One comment (per 0:20): You actually want the wind going across your shelter at 90 degrees, not coming from the back (especially if you have a fire), as winf coming from the rear will tend to swirl around the front of the shelter.
A lot of work ! Maybe I would be easier to use use a staff from haslnut as hunters normally do. Sure , your staff looks nearly indestructible 👊👍greetings from lower saxony🙋
I have used Hazel quite often for basic walking sticks and they are a lot easier as they are straight and thin but in our wet climate they do deteriorate faster which is why I wanted to try Blackthorn. But, it is hard to find a straight piece so lots of shaping required! Lower Saxony sounds very cool, I would love to visit that area one day.
@@bundufundi i agree, I make mine from Rowan , but Hazel work's fine for me , I leave the bark on it for protection. Blackthorn is in my opinion a little bit to heavy , but last for ever , I think. Of course you can steam a crocked staff over boiling water, like I do.... Sure, visit Germany! It's better then most of the people in the UK believe! And there's a lot more than Berlin , Heidelberg , Oktoberfest or Neu Schwanstein😎🙋
@@michaelh.weiser6502 I had a very good friend years ago who came from Wurtzburg. We worked together in Namibia but unfortunately we lost contact, I always planned to visit after how he described some of your amazing natural areas and woodlands. One day!
Great workmanship you have a nice workshop! Also I feel you did a good job putting your video together.
Thank you, that's a very kind comment!
Nice Setting. Put a towel on the pole to protect your expensive tarp.
Good idea, thanks!
