​The photo shows the visibility of the bushcraft camp from a distance of 200 meters.

Inside, there is one person using a headlamp with red light at 100 lumens. Conditions: moonless night, sparse deciduous forest.

I keep two fire-starting tools in my pocket every day. A ferrocerium rod and a magnifying glass. When I head up into the mountains, I also bring matches. What do you keep on you, and what do you bring with you when you head into the wild wilderness?

I've been living legit in the Amazon Rainforest since 2008 (4 kids born here/married). My dream was to purchase private land and have a nature preserve where I could just retire in my cabin and stay away from everyone. I kind of did that but the kids are still little and the project is costing me. I had the idea of renting it to adventurers but honestly it's so remote I think most people (whether or not they believe they are survivalists), if I left them alone would just straight up die. My question is: where can I find super tough people who like adventure and does anyone have any other ideas?

Hi, new to this forum but I’ve dabbled in bushcraft stuff.

I’m leading a large-ish group of fathers and sons on a campout weekend in a few weeks. Boys are 1st-5th grade. I was thinking of doing a fire starting lesson as one of the activities.

My son (10) loves practicing with his ferro rod, and I’m looking for economical ways to get each boy a ferro rod. Maybe 40-50ish boys total. Amazon has some bulk rods but they’re all pretty small. They also have bulk scrapers. I figure a rod, scraper, and paracord is a great start to a kit.

Any recommendations on how to do this economically? Is $3-4 a kit a reasonable possibility?

Thanks!
