Birch Bark Hip Flask

[Adam Savage]

I recently saw a video on youtube, by Sean Mulhall (aka silver fox bushcraft) of making a birch bark hip flask. It's a good video and Sean is great at this kind of stuff, so I decided to give it a go.

My video isn't as good as his, but I'm quite pleased with the end result.





The video is awaiting approval, as it is a video response, but I will post it up ASAP.

Here's Seans video anyway.

Part 1

Thanks Rich. Just finished waxing it, so looks a little move even and tidy now.

Was that the flask you took on the Dartmoor walk Adam?

[Adam Savage]

Yes indeed. It still smells of brandy lol.

If it's JD or Southern Comfort, then I'd agree. I'm not too keen on the homegrown varieties...well, not until I've had a few of the others first lol.
I had some Napoleon left over so packed it with my hand rolled Hamlett for completion, although I ended up drinking it when we stopped to set up camp.
