Bush whacking
    #20691410 - 10/12/14 02:00 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

I love just wandering into unknown woods and surviving for a day or two. No weapons (excluding knives/snares) a hiking pack and the cloths on my back.

I usually do a google birds eye view of the area first but other than that I just storm in. I keep it simple and notch a tree in the direction I came from, and if I make a right turn I put a / left turn is a + . I've used this method in more than 20 miles of terrain (three day hike) and has never lead me astray.

Anyone else enjoy doing this? What are your methods?

Any suggestions on a machete to cut through branches up to three inches thick (not just dried up tall grass) willing to pay large cash for this item because I cannot seem to find anything of that quality...or of any quality. Opinions welcome and keep on keeping on :peace:

Get you a good Calamus.

How do you use it, just chew on the rootstock? Out of season yet?

Not too keen on the notching technique.  :kingcrankey:  Maybe look into a compass, map, and GPS?  What kind of snares do you use?  How do you kill the animals once they are caught?  Stabbing I suppose?  Seems like that could get messy for something larger than a squirrel/rabbit.

WHY would you want to backtrack the route you went in on?

You only see 1/2 the things you would if you return on a different route.

Grow up and STOP notching trees.

I don't think he's talking about Calamus/sweet flag.

But a knife I think is what he meant, perhaps he meant Camillus?

I use it because it works. I usually use dead weight snares as I call them or just the classic spring snare. Usually I don't need to kill the animal because I only put them on small game trails with about a four to six in dhiameter noose. I tend to test it first to see if it will suffice for a kill.

If the animal is not dead a quick stab to the back of the neck usually does the trick.

As for the GPS I like to try and not use technology too much. Of course I carry a compass but notching works fine. The woods I go into are far to vast to go out another way.

I hike in for about a day then camp out for another few.

Also I would like to know why someone would think that not notching trees will make me "grow up"? That's just doesn't make any sense....

Because it's a method a child would after they ran out of bread crumbs.

The bark of a tree is there to protect it from things that want to attack it. When you cut that protective outer layer, much like when you cut your skin, it is prone to infection.

A good way to kill a tree is to chop ALL the bark off the base of the tree around the circumference... Not a little notch. Trees are more resistant than you are making them out to be. I'll leave it at that

That's it.

I'm an idiot. I blame the drugs.

But, still, they're damn good blades.

Neither does one person taking a piss in a stream pollute a river, or throwing your garbage in that river.

The environment is under stress and it doesn't need your childish wounds.

Squirrels and caterpillar cause more damage to trees than my "childish wounds". Once you have a major in resource conservation and agricultural sciences come back and try to fix your misinformation. :smile:

Real nice grammar. I can see your intellectual standards aren't up to par yet.

Is that all you got?

Ever hear of "Leave no Trace"?

You are a whiney little child who is scared of losing his way in the woods.

Grow UP!

Getting lost in the woods is something even the most experienced tracker should fear.
