How to Start a Fire with an Opinel Knife and a Rock
May 5th, 2011 | 
Author: Here is an informative and entertaining video which was recently sent in by ROBwithaB showing you how to strike a spark and light a fire using an Opinel folding knife and a piece of quartz.
Rob has a ‘unique’ style of presentation but, he certainly gets the message across loud and clear. I hope you enjoy.
The Present
This was recently posted on a Bushcraft forum I frequently visit. Although not related to the subject of Bushcraft in any shape or form, it made me laugh so much I thought it was well worth sharing with you.
Just try reading this without laughing till you cry!!!

Lassoing a Deer!!!
This hilarious story was doing the rounds via email a couple of years ago. Recently it was brought up again on a bushcraft forum I frequent. I don’t know who the author is or if the story is fiction or fact. Whichever, I think it’s a great tale and has me crying with laughter every time I read it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
As I sit here behind this laptop, I now realize that this definitely wasn’t the brightest idea I have ever had. I was going to rope a deer, put it in a stall, feed it up on corn for a couple of weeks, then kill it and eat it.
The first step in this adventure was getting a deer. I figured that, since they congregate at my cattle feeder and do not seem to have much fear of me when we are there (a bold one will sometimes come right up and sniff at the bags of feed while I am in the back of the truck not 4 feet away), it should not be difficult to rope one, get up to it and toss a bag over its head (to calm it down) then hog tie it and transport it home.
I filled the cattle feeder then hid down at the end with my rope.
