Today we unbox the Wood River Spokeshave and see if it stands up to the quality associated with the brand. Our old spokeshave is busted and nothing but issues, so lets upgrade to a high quality one. What does it take to set it up? How do you use it? We answer all of that and more in todays episode! #woodriver #spokeshave #woodworking #woodworkingtools #handtoolwoodworking #handtools #sharpening #diamondstone #razorsharp #shavinghair #unboxing #unboxingvideo

Today we go through my E.D.C or Every Day Carry. These are the things that I have on my person, not in a bag or in my truck, but in my pockets at all times when I leave the house. #edc #edcdump #everydaycarry #handgun #sidearm #concealedcarry #survival #prepared #prepper #protectyourfamily

Today we are in the garage working on a push car the Boy Scouts built. We aren't changing anything but only making improvements. #woodwork #woodworking #boyscouts #boyscout #safetyfirst #pushcar #woodencar

Today we go through what I keep in my emergency pouch that lives in the saddlebag of my motorcycle. #motorcycle #motorcyclelife #motorbike #harleydavidson #harley #gear #firstaid #preparedness #prepared #prepper #tools #moto

The thoughts that run through my head on the last day of a camp are always ones of joy and sorrow... #camping #camp #campground #selfcare #selfthought #selfthinking #innermonolog #thoughts #thinking #fireboxstove #firebox #gasburner #coffee #hammockcamping #hammocking #water #greatlakes #lakehuron #thunderbay #morning #morningthoughts Running Waters by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Artist: http://audionautix.com/

Yeah so I got impatient and did things you should definitely not do and started a small fire in the garage..... #lantern #colemanlantern #fire #whitegas #gasoline #howto #hownotto #vintage #project

In the last 2 mile leg of a 7 mile hike at Negwegon State Park, I talk about what camping is like there and what to expect from the sites. This is one of my favorite parks in Michigan, as I've been there several times now and always want to go back. #camping #michigan #michiganoutdoors #negwegon #statepark #stateparks #backpacking #backpackcamping #tentcamping #hammocklife #hammocking #hammockcamping #hiking #campground #campgroundreview

In this video, we take on the challenge of making something out of one cedar fence board from a privacy fence. During the process I learn how to make hand cut dovetails for joinery as well as use flake shellac. #onefenceboardchallenge #woodwork #woodworking #handtoolwoodworking #handtools #handtoolsonly #stanleytools #handplane #handsaw #dovetails #dovetail #dovetailswood #woodworkingchallenge

YUP I know I spelled it wrong lol. But today we go to Niagara Falls, to check out the largest waterfall in the area. #niagarafalls #niagara #niagarariver #skytower #tunnels #waterfall #waterfalls #waterfallsounds

Today we visit Watkins Glen State Park. This is rated #1 on all of the websites I looked at for waterfalls in the Finger Lake area. Will it by my number one as well? #watkinsglen #waterfall #waterfallsounds #water #hiking #dayhike #statepark #newyork #newyorkstate #toomanypeople

Today was a little rainy, so we decided to head to the Sciencenter in Ithica, New York. For $10 a person, they offer all interactive exhibits for both kids and adults. They also have a mini golf course outside. #ithica #sciencenter #science #sciencefacts #kids #rainyday #rainydays

A quick walk through The Old Mill at Lucifer Falls Trailhead. The mill used to produce flour for many years and is filled with historic artifacts from the area. #ithica #luciferfalls #waterfall #outdoors #hiking #history #theoldmill

As the channel hits it's one year mark, I came to the decision that its time to end season one.

Today we unbox some more gear from Firebox Stove. This new burner they created is amazing when there are fire bans in the area, as well as when I don't feel like starting a fire. #gasburner #outdoorcooking #cooking #cookingwithwood #firebox #fireboxstove #alcoholstove #trangia #toaks

Today I hike the birding trail at the Hocking Hills KOA and talk about my experience with the campground. #koacampgrounds #campground #campgrounds #camping #camper #greywolf #koa #review #campgroundreviews #campgroundreview

Hiking back from Whispering Cave, I start noticing things from "other hikers" that becomes concerning. #hiking #hockinghills #ohio #hikinggear #hike #trees #hikingsafe

With the family on their way back home for school. I'm left alone to make the 4 mile hike to Whispering Cave in Hocking Hills State Park. #hockinghills #whisperingcave #nature #outdoors #hiking #waterfall #cave

Today we hike to the Old Man's Cave and The Devil's Bathtub in Hocking Hills State Park. #hockinghills #thedevilsbathtub #oldmanscave #nature #outdoors #ohio #hiking #familyhiking #familyhike #waterfall #waterfalls #waterfallsounds

A trip to Ash Cave in Hocking Hills, OH #hockinghills #ashcave #shortsvideo #shorts #short #ohio #outside #waterfall

Today we hike to Rock House in Hocking Hills State Park. Rock House was created through glaciers and weathering over the years. The cave has several openings to the outside letting light in like windows. #hockinghills #rockhouse #nature #outdoors #hiking #familyhiking #familyhike

After hiking Ash Cave, we decided to check out Cedar Falls. Not knowing the area we didn't realize we were in the wrong spot for a while, but eventually found the falls. #hockinghills #cedarfalls #waterfall #nature #outdoors #hiking #hikingadventures #familyhiking #familyhike
