Willow Bark Slip Whistle

Willow Bark Slip Whistle
The Willow Bark Slip Whistle is a nice easy little project requiring only a small knife and a piece of freshly cut willow. The piece of willow should be about thumb width in diameter and about a hand span (150mm) in length (this will be plenty for the whistle and also give you a good length ‘working handle’ to carve with safely). For this example I’m using a piece of Grey Sallow as it is locally abundant in the area, but any willow will work just as well. It works best in the spring or early summer when the sap is rising in the trees. Safety first, note the comfortable sitting position with elbows resting on the knees, and a wooden chopping block for cutting onto. Elbows on knees helps to prevent a very serious injury such as cutting through your femoral artery, and having a wooden block to cut on will protect the edge of you knife. Step 1. Using small diagonal shaving cuts, cut the end of the stick into a whistle mouthpiece shape. Step 2. The completed D shape. Step 3. Step 4. Step 5.

Wilderness Survival, Tracking, Nature, Wilderness Mind 5 Ways To Hack Your Brain Into Awesomeness Much of the brain is still mysterious to modern science, possibly because modern science itself is using brains to analyze it. There are probably secrets the brain simply doesn't want us to know. But by no means should that stop us from tinkering around in there, using somewhat questionable and possibly dangerous techniques to make our brains do what we want. We can't vouch for any of these, either their effectiveness or safety. #5. So you just picked up the night shift at your local McDonald's, you have class every morning at 8am and you have no idea how you're going to make it through the day without looking like a guy straight out of Dawn of the Dead, minus the blood... hopefully. "SLEEEEEEEEEP... uh... What if we told you there was a way to sleep for little more than two hours a day, and still feel more refreshed than taking a 12-hour siesta on a bed made entirely out of baby kitten fur? Holy Shit! We're pretty sure Kramer did this once on Seinfeld. How Does It Work? #4. #3. 1. 2. 3.

Planter des buis - Aménagement de jardin Le buis est un arbuste à pousse lente, dont le feuillage permanent vert sombre est apprécié dans les haies. Cet arbuste ornemental peut être taillé dans les formes les plus diverses. On le trouve donc fréquemment taillé en boule, en pyramide ou en cône. Selon la variété, un buis peut atteindre de 1 à 3 mètres de haut. Le Buxus sempervirens fleurit en mars et porte des fruits à l'automne. Étape 1: plantation Plantez le buis de préférence au printemps ou en automne. Étape 2: les préparatifs Si vous ne plantez pas votre buis immédiatement après l'avoir acheté, plongez les racines dans un seau d'eau pour que la plante absorbe suffisamment d'humidité. Étape 3: planter le buis Mélangez 40 g d'engrais à de la terre bien aérée. Étape 4: planter une haie de buis Tendez une corde pour marquer l'alignement de la future haie. Étape 5: bouturage En août/septembre, vous pouvez prélever des boutures d'environ 8 cm. Étape 6: taille Taillez le buis en août - septembre pour lui donner la forme voulue.
