Life of a Woodsman - Log Bed Frame
Sleep is very important for maintaining our health and getting a good sleep in the backcountry can easily be overlooked. After spending a few nights sleeping on the ground and not experiencing the full benefits of my wood stove, I've decided to put together a comfortable log bed. Join me as I use my saw and hatchet to turn a few logs and poles into a bed that rivals the comfort of it's modern equivalent.
All the materials used for this project came from dead trees (some already fallen and some dead-standing).
My hatchet was bought from an antique shop about 5 years ago for $8. There's no makers mark on it. It weighs about 1 1/2 lbs. It has a White Birch handle I made for it during the restoration process.
My saw is a 2-piece bow saw I made in my previous tarp camping series. The frame is holding up very nicely. I'm surprised how much tension the frame will hold on the blade. I believe at this point it is safe to call the 2-piece frame design a proven success. I like this design a great deal simply due to how simple it was to make requiring only my belt knife. The saw blade is a 21" Bahco peg-tooth (dry wood) bow saw blade. Together they make cutting wood an easy chore (now that the saw blade has been sharpened).
A huge thank you to everyone who watches, I hope you all enjoy!
