Hoods Woods - Woods Master 15 Sticks Stoves and Stitches

Join Ron Hood and friend George Michaud and learn how to make Buffalo Hide Moccasins close--up from beginning-to-end. Learn how to make a pattern from your foot, learn the proper stitching techniques so you will not "walk off" the stitching once you begin to wear the mocs. Learn what materials to use and what a "glover's needle" is good for. Learn an improvised thimble and how to prepare the sole for your sandals as well as other intricacies that will help you to make extremely comfortable footwear from thick rawhide.
Also meet "Fire God" Alan Halcon as he teaches you step-by-step how to make the Halcon Mini Alcohol Stove. This stove is made out of 2 aluminum cans and is so small it will fit into your back pocket (not recommended!) It is so effective it will boil water in a flash. Alan also demonstrates how to make a long-lasting coal with the easy-and-fast-to-make Fire Drill. (1 hour, 20 min.)
