Prepared Camping

Hi guys Roo from PreparedCamping, Here I make a bargain little leather drawstring pouch which could hold tinder for bushcraft fire kits or as part of a costume as a belt pouch I got the leather and hide cord from a local fabric shop but if theres not one near you they're readily available on ebay and amazon The hole punch and eyelets were from a set I got at Lidl for £14 This pouch was made from a piece 24cm in diameter, when cinched up it gives a pouch 8cm in diameter by about 3 cm high I intend to make a larger one from a piece 35-40cm in diameter to hold a fire kit I'd love to hear what you think in the comments or you can contact and share on; Tiktok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeaoRyfv/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/PreparedCamping?lang=en-gb Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/preparedcamping/ I hope you enjoyed watching and will subscribe Merch Stores https://shop.spreadshirt.co.uk/prepared-camping https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/preparedcamping Cheers Roo

Hello YouTube Copper pipe is fairly cheap and often small pieces are thrown in skips (dumpsters) that you can get for free so they're good for practicing some basic blacksmith skills without paying out a lot of money Copper is a soft metal which hardens as you hit it and as this pipe is thin I occasionally heated it to prevent it splitting You can get away with quenching it which fixes the metal in postion rather than letting it cool naturally after heating, known as normalising I'd love to hear what you guys thought so please leave a comment and if you liked maybe you'd consider subscribing I also post on these platforms; Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/preparedcamping Blogger: https://preparedcamping.blogspot.com/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@preparedcamping Twitter: https://twitter.com/PreparedCamping Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/preparedcamping/ I hope you enjoyed watching, thank you!
