**Cutting Tool Safety & Application***Sunday Bushcraft Meet-Up*
A sharp tool is only as safe as the person holding it. This session covers the fundamentals of working safely and effectively with the cutting tools that do the real work in the field — the fixed blade knife, the folding saw, and the axe. We'll start with the non-negotiables: proper grips, safe body positioning, triangle of death and blood circle awareness, controlled cuts, and the stop cut that keeps a blade from running where it shouldn't. From there we move into application — batoning rounds down to kindling, carving feather sticks, and working a try-stick to drill the full range of notches and cuts that show up in shelter building, trap construction, and camp craft. We'll also cover edge maintenance, safe carry and handoff, and what to do when something goes wrong, because the most common injuries in bushcraft come from a dull blade, a bad angle, or a tired hand. Whether you've been swinging an axe for thirty years or you just bought your first knife, you'll leave with sharper technique and fewer bad habits. Bring your own cutting tools if you have them — loaners will be available for anyone who doesn't.
Casual meet and greet for beginner or seasoned bushcraft & survival enthusiasts. We will work on shooting content for our social media channels, pick one particular skill to train on each week. Usually followed by some camp coffee, great company and fellowship.
Directions to where we meet:
Enter park and make right as if you were going to the ballpark. Continue into the park, go over the first bridge, continue straight and look for a green recycling bin (and a black Toyota 4Runner). Park in the spots adjacent to the 4Runner. You will see us gathered by the river area and picnic table.
Please reply with RSVP in the comments on the particular event date to confirm we’ll have enough interest to host. Thank you! See ya in the woods 👊🏼💥🙏🏻🇺🇸
