1000th post Giveaway!

I've learned a lot from just reading the many posts, but one that really helped me was Doc Canada's knot tutorial. I was able to follow and learn from this.
 
Just found this, I'm sorry that I didn't make it in time to enter. Nice looking knife anyway :)


Just to fit in:

I used a number of posts here when making a bow drill that I have since used to start a couple of fires. It's my favorite method, at least until I perfect the hand drill
 
You are still good scouter27, I had to push my trip back one day so the old deadline is still on. tonight will be the end. Thanks everyone for you input. I will be practicing all these skills.
 
Doc Canada started my search into rope twisting when I was recuperating at hone for 6 months! As I was wheelchair bound I could not harvest any supplies, so in true survivalist fashion I used what I could reach- the hair left on my brush. It grossed out many people here, but did teach a coup rid things outside the skill- skills Canberra practiced anywhere (I still twist together Starbucks straw wrappers to keep practice. No matter where you are or the limitations within you should be able to manipulate the environment around you; I knew long ago survival skills hit people in their sensitive/cultured side- even among other survivalists! And best of all I have many many yards of VERY strong twine that I carry around with me, and it's nicely arranged lengthwise already! Further to this, I have used my hair in the field for quick lashing/tying off of small things, or to prove that the twine I can make is tougher and smaller than many purchased twine.

With hair I double twist by hand each twist as the hair is too fine, however I have used the leg roll technique on other materials that are a bit more fibrous. This fall I will probably see how hollyhocks work out- I forgot to last year until it was too late.

I really like the looks of the knife- congrats to the winner.
 
Thank you everyone for your input and stories, I found a few threads I was not familiar with and will be practicing them in the future. I am headed camping tomorrow with my son and will be attempting my first "In the Field" bow drill fire.
