BEGIN YOUR MASTERY OF THE MOST COMMON WILDERNESS TOOLS IN OUR BEDROCK TOOLCRAFT CLASS. WE WILL DIVE DEEP INTO LEARNING THE FOLDING SAW, THE HATCHET, AND THE BELT KNIFE. MANY OF US "OWN" THESE TOOLS, BUT FEW HAVE EVER LEARNED TO USE THEM SAFELY, EFFICIENTLY, AND WITH A MASTERY THAT YIELDS FUNCTIONAL AND BEAUTIFUL PROJECTS QUICKLY. STRAPPING A BELT KNIFE TO YOUR SIDE AND HEADING OUT INTO THE WOODS HAS A SENSE OF PRIMAL POWER TO IT. DON'T LET IT BE JUST A DECORATION AND TURN THAT "TOY" INTO A "TOOL" BY LEARNING THE SKILLS THAT GO WITH IT.
