Birch Bark
I gathered a lot of birch bark for personal projects and courses while I was at home. Some is spirally cut and will be used for a rucksacks or shoes. This is a photo of some of it. All was gathered with stone tools.
This cup was made due to the need of a container to keep my worms in when fishing. This type of cup is readily made and discarded and can be used for drinking from too, but due to the simple fold it does not hold water perfectly.
Torjus
Get my book "Traditional Trout Fishing: Fishing for Survival in the North (Volume 1)
".
Is there another type of fold that would hold water better? Or pitch or some other natural glue? ~Survival Acres~
It is possible to use pitch, but at least if you are cooking in the basket a regular fold will be better. I’ll remember to make a cooking container and post it on the blog.
