Three Cheers for Blackie!

     I wanted to take this opportunity to mention a YouTuber that ya'll may or may not be aware of. I'm not sure how long Blackie from Shaman's Forge Bushcraft has been posting videos but I wish he would post more often. To my knowledge, he's not some international hero of bushcraft. However, in the last few days it's taken me to watch all his videos, I have learn many things I did not know. His down to earth southern manner allows him to present facts to viewers in a common man sort of way. He obviously enjoys what he's doing and it seems that you are learning these things together. One video answered a long unknown question I had about the almost useless Boy Scout mess kit's history and another taught me the purpose behind many classic pocket knifes. The second managed to convince a long time SAK carrier to start carrying a trapper in the woods.
     In an endless sea of bushcrafting videos, the struggle for your subscription space is a selective one. I, myself, have spent many hours searching for videos and presenters that are worthy of my time and respect. There's a few channels that I look forward to posting on a regular basis and even fewer that I wish posted daily. Blackie is one of those that that I wished posted daily, but unfortunately does not. I think I may go watch his series on kukris again. If you are looking for a channel hosted by a regular guy that has a lot to teach check out the Shaman's Forge channel at blackoracle69.
Thank you for your time,
Jerry
