#AskPaulKirtley 68 – Eureka moments with the Hadza? Ticks on the increase. Tarp knots for limited hand mobility. Striking matches with your teeth.
In this episode of #AskPaulKirtley I cover questions on whether I had any ‘eureka moments’ with the Hadza, and do I still use any skills I learned from them? What to do about ticks being on the increase? Tarp knot recommendations for people with limited hand mobility. Striking matches with your teeth? I also answer a question about my camera gear for trips and how I manage it outdoors with respect to bad weather and potential submersion.

Leave me a comment below. Let me know what you think of this episode. I read every one.
But remember if you want to ask a question for a future episode, don’t do this in the comments below, do it in one of the ways explained HERE.
What Is #AskPaulKirtley?
#AskPaulKirtley is my Q&A video and podcast series that aims to answer your questions about bushcraft, survival skills and outdoor life.
The idea here is partly to take the strain off my email inbox and get answers out to people in a more timely fashion.
Rather than send an answer to just that one person, I’d like others to benefit from the answers too. So, just in the same way I’d previously write an email answer, here I’m going to speak the answer (which is much quicker than me typing out an answer, so I’ll get more questions answered as well as benefiting more people).

hi Paul
yet another very entertaining show ,
the hadza trip sounds amazing , to spend time with people using the bushcraft skills for real and not “playing ” like most of us do must be awesome , its a trip of a lifetime one I would love to do .
kind regards
Paul Walsh
Hi Paul,
As always, it’s good to hear from you. Thanks for your comments.
Yes, I am grateful for, and humbled by, such experiences. I would love to re-visit the Hadza one day and take some others with me.
Warm regards,
Paul
Thanks for your answer Paul, it was better than my question! You covered everything I needed to know.
I’m just starting out with the hobby to add an interest when I’m out & about, and have bought a Nikon D3100 and lenses off e-bay. It’s very good but, at the moment very much over spec for my level!
If I’m available, I’m fairly certain I’ll be on the Winter trip with you, it’s something I’m very interested in. I have registered with Frontier for it, so look forward to hearing more.
Hi Ste,
Well, you will grow into your new camera outfit. Start off with the automatic settings but then work through understanding what each adjustment will make.
I learned photography before digital cameras and I still maintain that understanding f-stops/aperture, shutter speed (and their reciprocity), along with how different combinations manifest in the image are the key things. Combined with this, exposure compensation and zone focussing are useful to understand. Despite all the bells and whistles of digital SLRs, the basics still count.
Have fun with it! That’s the most important part of course.
Warm regards,
Paul
PS it’s good you have signed up for more details on the winter trip. I’ll be in touch.
Those Whiskey-Jacks (Canada jays) are quite smart birds. My wife and I saw one while we prepared supper one day. We had cheese and bread cut up on our table, and this one Jack started doing acrobatics and loops and flitting here and there. I took out the camera and as we were distracted, his mate was stealing our cheese. Turns out that was the tactic after all, we look away while his mate steals the goodies. Shifty little Canucks.
Cheers

Wow, you’re in the UK, I’m across the pond! So much for that. The Microscopic signage at the bottom of the of the page did it.
Thank you for another episode of Ask Paul Kirtley! I will have to send in some questions to. 🙂 But, you are doing a great job, and a well received service to those interested in Bushcraft. You give a great deal of information out for free, and I can’t speak for everyone, BUT… I get at least one thing out of each and every episode.
Thanks again, and I hope this finds you well!
Mr Kevin B
