Soon to come : Instructional Video’s
- Filed under: Uncategorized
- Date: Sep 16,2008
I’ve been wanting to do this for some time. Today I will be buying a digital camcorder so that I can start making some instructional video’s instead of taking lots of pictures and describing it with text. Although i’ve managed with only pictures until now, there are a few things I’ve been wanting to write about but need some video to go with it that I couldn’t do until now.
Some things to come : (I will put links once they’re done)
- How to make an RJ-45 Network Plug (by a professional cable guy)
- How to start a fire with magnesium and flint
- How to start a fire using only wood. (Friction fire using the bow method; I have never actually tried this)
- How to make and use Charcloth to start a fire.
- Setting up camp
- A walkthrough of my “famous” solar power installation in Kingston
- Building an emergency snow cave for winter camping in the wild
- How to put up a tarp for rain protection while camping
These are just the things i’ve been wanting to film for a while, there will be much more now that I have the option. (My digital camera CAN take video, but it doesn’t have a microphone which almost makes it pointless.)
There will be much more as I find the need.
Stay tuned for these interesting video’s, and feel free to leave a comment if you have any suggestions !

I was interested in your references to winter camping skills. I would urge you to take a look at WinterCampers.com where we have provided a description of some of the skills you reference.
thanks
Thanks for the link Jim. It was very informative. I have bookmarked it and it will surely eventually be linked to on this site while writing an article on winter camping. In what area are you located ? I might be interested in joining you on a winter expedition at one point.
