Bushcraft Fishing

I demo a simple fishing pole that is built in the wilderness from natural materials and a safety pin. I also show you how to use the pole without the safety pin. Also shown is where to find live bait and how to make a quick fish stringer from local materials.

hey lon. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind doing a video on how you like to prepare and cook your fish. that would be muchly appreciated. Thanks for the videos.

@lindenaho I will put that on my list of to-do vids. Will try to get to it this summer some time.

If you have room in your kit for a safety pin, why not just put some small fishing hooks in the kit instead?

@badpony6845 How about watching the video all the way through this time and then if you still have questions feel free to ask again.

@digmatology Thank you. Almost all of my videos are a how-to type approach to bushcraft and survival. They are not just a "see I can do it too" approach. So if I'm going to show how to do something, I really want to know before hand if it really does work like I say it does. Otherwise it kind of defeats the purpose of showing how to do something if it really doesn't work after all. Anyway thank you very much for noticing the authenticity of the video and for watching.

Just to let you know the "bug" in the pond is a Caddis fly larva. Fish love them. Great Video.  From your friend down in Kenai - Hi

nice vid but you need one of those furry mufflers on your sound recording system.. if you are just using like a handicam type of thing they do make attachments for those

@badpony6845 he has fish hooks in there, the safety pin acts as the eye of the rod :)

@poufspoufs68 This was recorded in South Central Alaska up in the mountains near tree line not very far from where I live. You are right. It is a very beautiful place.
