This is just a quick snapshot representing some of my"creations" ive done recently.Its not even near the whole batch of goodies.Theres firesteel,utility hook for hanging a pot or oil lamp,knives,actually few of those.Man cant ever have enough of sharp tools i say :).

Knives & ancient wilderness skills


Well,ive been mostly at school now,for long time,as im so excited about these knife forging&making courses and also the new "ancient outdoor skills" course is just awesome.we´ve bene making tools,backpacks,hunting equipment,bone items and all kinds of cool gimmicks in the style of primitive hunters and out ancestors.During these classes my instructor has bene one well known and highly respected person,who has been giving survival and outdoor skill classes at least for 30 years,he was at first bit cranky,maybe due to my non-mainstream looks but now we speak hellova lot about survival gear etc as he might have noticed that im so intrested about his stories and teachings.Way cool,i really respect his monstrous knowledge and cant wait till we have more classes with him.

Backpack project o´mine

soo,i got hold of pretty large piece of 600d waterproof ripstop nylon,and its even olive drab green,so i thought id give it a shot to become some type of medium sized rugged,simple backpack,im thinking a lot of those sling-packs with just one shoulder strap and waist belt.i bought bag full of locks,adjusters,strap materials,mesh cushio and some other small parts,only few zippers are missing anymore.and someone to sew it together,haah.ill be posting pics of it as i m now startin to cut pieces.

it has to be big enough to carry small gas cooker,pot,mug,blanket or summer sleepingbag,and spaceblanket,and maybe it will have small utility pocket for mre or similar necessities.
it would be cool to add molle webbing to it but it would not be simple then anymore.
