Making and using interesting items from the past
I’m Dug North from Season 12 of the HISTORY Channel show ALONE.
I have a passion for learning, making things, and then sharing what I have learned with others. I believe these acts are fundamental to what make us human. My job is to help you see this point of view and incorporate some of it into your life.
The topics that interest me most include the following:
Wilderness, bushcraft skills, ancestral skills
Using vintage and antique hand tools
Projectile throwers, as small as slingshots and as large as trebuchets
Metalworking, woodworking, and other old-school fabrication methods
Check out the page with some of the Things I’ve Made for inspiration.
I have a YouTube channel where I show you how to make some things yourself.
