Took the camera with me when out and about at work collecting samples.  Here are a few shots and video.

This mother goose is sitting on a nest with several eggs.  If you get too close to here she'll let you know she's not happy about it.

Apparently this goose didn't read the sign.

Pretty soon this switchyard may will stop it's humming.  Black and white.

From late March till early April I took a series of video and time lapses, mostly around the Bluewater Bridge in Sarnia and Point Edward and a few farther down the St. Clair River.

Cameras used included a GoPro Hero2 and a Canon T2i.

Here's a little knife and sheath I recently completed.  I don't normally work with 1095 as I find it difficult to heat treat but I think I got this one right.

The knife overall length is approximately 7.5" with a 3.5" sabre ground blade made from 1/8" thick 1095 steel with the finish from the heat treat left on and buffed with a Scotchbrite belt.  The scales are Cumaru or Brazilian Teak with brass rivets.

Bannock or doughnut?  You decide...

I've been keeping an eye on a stalk of yucca in our front yard and wondering if it would be dry enough to make a friction fire.  Here's what I found out...

It was a bit of a challenge keeping the ember from blowing away in the wind but I was able to keep it together by leaving it in the notch until ready to transfer it to the tinder bundle.

A time lapse on Cartier Court at dusk shot with the GoPro2 from 999 images taken at five second intervals cropped for 16 by 9.  The final video is put together at 25 frames per second.

An Afternoon Walk With Lizzie

This is a short video I created for a contest on the BushcraftUSA forum. Lizzie and I went for a walk down Michigan Ave. to Canatara Park and then up to the beach in front of the water treatment plant in Point Edward.  From there we walked under the Bluewater Bridge and then back home for a total distance of about nine kilometres.  It was overcast that day which gave the video a somewhat somber tone.
