The days are still cold and the nights are long, but, hopefully Spring isn’t too far away. Here is a very simple project you can do now that will get you ready for the foraging season to come.
Enjoy

I know how to weave these baskets. I used flat reels and grape vines . I dyed t 'em with cold water dyes. I sold them at a craftsman's cooperative . I made so many my hands started to hurt and I had to stop. I just love how they look . You did a good job they look lovely. Those girls are so cute too!😊😊😊😊😊❤

Bushcraft and bubbles😂 love it. It is great to see people sharing knowledge to the younger generations. There needs to be more of us

What a wonderful educational video. I appreciate you showing up close how to weave. Really easy instructions. I don't have willow but am going to try with saplings of mulberry.

What a wonderful outing with the granddaughters! Girls are definitely in need of survival skills. My father made sure I had lots of survival skills as an autistic female little girl. Blessings to you & your family! Wonderful legacy for us all to learn.

Reminds me of when my dad would take me and my little sister for nature walks!

Thank you this is a great video and so easy to follow along. I’m going to give it a try ❤

Your girls are precious! Thank you for teaching these skills. I’ve wanted to learn for a long time, and now I have a garden with honeysuckle, raspberry, and grape vine to weave with.

Great video. I’ve never really thought about basket weaving in the woods before, but now I really want to give it a go

Those young ladies stole the show Neil. Great video as always.

I'm your newest fan. What great memories with the kids! Enjoy 'em!

It’s amazing that skills that were once essential for life are now hobbies to be enjoyed. We don’t have that beautiful hazel here but we have other shoots, and honeysuckle vine is ubiquitous and is commonly used. Now I gotta go weave me a basket!

Bubbles are always an improvement. Good to see the ladies out with you. I hope they will always understand how important time with dad is .

Thank you ever so much! I love egg baskets, as they call them here in US. It looks strong, is what i wanted to learn to make! Got me some oak sprouts and honey suckle ready to go!

It was great to see that next generation having fun.

[TheDavewatts]

Great project, been threatening to have a go at this for years 👍🏻

[rodneycabot]

Awesome survival skill, the way the bubbles fly off ever so gently, I’ll have to take my daughters out bubble blowing so i can try and weave one of these baskets

[garywood]

Something I've often thought about doing, but never have. Thanks for posting this! Looks fun and something I'll definitely try in the near future.
