No I'm not becoming a sailing page, but I'm always learning and looking for new ways to get to remote areas to camp and practice bushcraft and survival skills.
Sorry for the lack of videos recently, I've been flat out with face to face courses, work and family, but I'm ready to get back into it.
You guys seem to like learning knots, and there's nothing like sailing to practice good knots, so you may see more of the little Vagabond sailing dinghy in future videos.
Let me know what you think.

First attempt at a snake flint striker. Im happy how it turned out, but the tip of the tail snapped when I dropped it after quenching it. Next time I'll normalise the head and tail so they stay softer.

Had to rescue this cute off the road. It was being attacked by a fox in the middle of the road when I approached. A few injuries to its paw and snout and a some of its spines had been broken off. I applied some Betadine antiseptic and bandage to the paw and will take to the vet in the morning.
For those that don't know, it's an Echidna. These and platypus are monotremes, which mean they are the only mamals that lay eggs. They are covered in hard quills made of keratin. Not related to the hedgehog or porcupine, they live off ants and termites.
