one of guys I'm Dave Canterbury with the Pathfinder school and self-reliance outfitters and one new today is I'm going to create an idea from one of my instructors at the Pathfinder school and Jamie Burleigh my lead instructor at the Pathfinder school called me on the phone the other day said hey Dave I got an idea for a project or product that might be interesting and he explained it to me over the phone I'm not going to go through the explanation of it now because I'm going to go ahead and create the project and then i'm going to show you the usefulness of that item when i get done but we're going to start with to 10 inch pieces of 38 bar stock and what we're going to do is we're going to create two hooks with this material and i'll show you the usefulness of those books and what we're thinking or what he's thinking maybe a good product when i'm done stay with me we'll get started alright so when we're done with what we're doing here with the forging process we basically have two equal hooks and these hooks can be used for lots and lots of things and Jamie's idea was a you could put these on a nice big branch like this and then tie piece of rope to that branch and you would have a large medium game gambrel this thing would probably work because you can squeeze it together and open it up you could use this for anything you know from a raccoon size because it's made out three eighths inch stock you can probably use this thing for a dear good green branch like this one right here that thing would easily hold the deer no problem so the other thing used to be used for is boning hooks you could put it on a stick and just cut yourself a t-handle a toggle about that long to give yourself something to hold on to and then you have a boning hook to pull that meat away and cut it on larger carcass as well so there's two real simple uses now you can also use this in camp obviously on a cross bar to hang pots off of in conjunction with the second one to raise it and lower it depending on how you did that you can put two of them together you have that much adjustment your pocket be here or if you use two of them on the same upright obviously and have two different pots hanging you could use this in conjunction with your chain to hang pots with or your chain trammel so there's lots and lots of things that you can do with these two hook another thing you could do with this is let's say you cleaned a carcass and you've got some meat left over at camp and you want to keep it up off the ground away from animals you can just take a piece of rope and throw a larks head inside this I just like this you could then hook your meat right onto that meat hook and strap that thing high up in a tree where the animals couldn't get to it so you've got something you can hang that meat off up or you've got something you can hang gear off of if you wanted to as well to keep it up off the ground these hooks are multifunctional they don't weigh a whole heck of a lot and they'll do a lot of things for you in a set and I made an exact match set pretty much once curved one way once curve the other way but the eyes are the exact same size they're about an inch and a quarter inside diameter this way to this way they're a little bit oblong you

another idea that you can do with this is you could use this for a lantern hook just by hanging it on a branch just like this that you've staked into the ground beside your camp and you can hang your candle lantern off of that hook again you can hang deer off of that hook and you can stack them if you wanted to one of the top of another just like this and the friction of the downward weight is going to hold it in place and you could use a couple of them in conjunction to hang different things off of a main pull within your camp as what so there's just lots and lots and lots of things and those are just a few things rock top my head and a few things Jay Eberly came up with that you could use these hooks for so again you know this idea came from my lead instructor Jamie Burley I think it's a real good idea this is a nice match set of hooks and I'm going to present this to the guys at the shop and also see what you guys think of this video once you think about the usefulness of these hooks and then I'll consider making this something that we're making out here at the Pathfinder for is a tool shop to sell in self-reliance outfitters in online from our website I'm Dave Canterbury with self-reliance off there's in the Pathfinder school I appreciate you joining for this video I thank you for everything you do for our school for our family for our business follow our sponsors instructors affiliates and France I'll be back to another video as soon as I can thanks
