October 30, 2020

Whittling is something of a lost art form, it’s been around for thousands of years. This backcountry craft can enrich your camping trips and make passing time out in the wilderness much more enjoyable. Skills such as whittling, foraging for edible nuts, and identifying poisonous berries make you a much better camper. They’re easy to learn and can help you to feel much more in touch with nature.

Simply put, whittling is shaving away at a piece of wood using a knife, with the goal of creating a particular design. It’s a little different from wood carving, which requires more skills, tools, and experience. Anyone can whittle, it’s easy to learn and you only need a few simple supplies. In this article, we’re going to share everything you need to know to get involved in the wonderful world of whittling. We’ll tell you about the tools you need, the basic techniques you can apply, and how to select the perfect piece of wood for your project.

An introduction to wood whittling

Whittling is a wonderful pastime for people who love to work with their hands. Perhaps you’d like to create something using natural materials, but don’t have the tools or space to get involved in full-blown carpentry. Luckily, whittling is highly accessible; it’s cheap, it doesn’t require much space, and it’s easy. Even the most simple of projects, such as sharpening a stick to a point, can be very satisfying to complete.

Like many outdoor activities, there are a handful of safety concerns regarding wood whittling. This hobby does involve spending a considerable deal of time with a sharp blade, so caution is required. However, if you approach this craft with respect then you can gain a great deal of enjoyment from it. Whittling can be very relaxing and therapeutic, it’s so satisfying to create something with your own two hands. The process of turning a natural piece of wood into a tool or decoration is something we highly recommend trying out.

You don’t have to go camping to whittle. You can do it in your backyard, or even inside on a sunny day. If you’re waiting for your next camping trip, a spot of whittling can help tide you over and give you the backcountry hit you desire. Almost anything can be whittled from wood; from spoons and knives to decorative flowers and other designs. This rewarding hobby is very easy to get started; first, let’s explore the different tools you could use.

Choosing your whittling tool

All you really need to whittle is a sharp edge; it doesn’t really matter what kind. However, we’re going to lay out the most popular options for whittling tools, so that you can make the best choice for your needs. Most people will already own at least one of these knives, so you don’t need to make any special purchase. We actually recommend beginning to whittle with whatever you have on hand, as it’s not necessary to buy any dedicated equipment straight away.

Pocket knife: Your trustworthy pocket knife is a fantastic whittling tool! This is what most people use to whittle, it’s convenient and you probably carry it on every camping trip anyway. Pocket knives are an ideal option because they don’t require you to carry any special equipment, and they’re likely equipped with more than one blade so you have some choice. Most pocket knives, such as the Swiss Army Knife, have a larger blade which you can use for the bulk of your whittling, and a smaller blade that you can employ for detail work. There are a few downsides to using your pocket knife as a whittling tool. First of all, using it on wood will dull the blade very quickly, meaning it’s less useful for the other purposes you carry it for. That means you’ll have to sharpen it more often, which isn’t the end of the world. In addition, many pocket knives might be a little larger than the ideal whittling blade, making your project more difficult to complete. Finally, as a general-purpose blade, pocket knives aren’t as effective as specialist whittling knives, but as a beginner option, we think they are best.

Whittling knife: There’s a huge range of specialty whittling knives on the market. Most of them have a fixed blade, meaning they don’t fold over into themselves. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. On the one hand, the reason for this is safety, as foldable knives have a change of moving while they are in use, which could potentially lead to injury. On the other hand, this sturdiness makes the knives less portable as they’re larger in size and will require a cover on the blade during transport. Whittling knives, as specialist tools, are unsurprisingly easier to use than pocket knives. They have ergonomically-shaped handles to reduce hand fatigue in a long whittling session. Because these knives are designed for use on wood rather than a general-purpose pocket knife, they’ll stand up to the task better and need sharpening less often. Whittling knives will also likely have a selection of different blades and tools which you can use for shaping and detailing your project.

If you’re just starting out whittling, there’s no need to buy any special tools. The expense (and additional gear to carry) of specialized whittling knives isn’t worth it for beginners, as you can achieve almost the same result with a regular knife. If you get more involved in this hobby, then perhaps a set of whittling tools is worth the cost, but to begin with, your trusty pocket knife is ideal.

Choosing a Wood to Whittle

After you’ve selected an appropriate blade, the next thing you need is something to whittle. Softwood is a necessity for beginners as it’s much easier to work with, and you’re less likely to have an accident than working with harder materials. Once you have some whittling experience and become more confident in your skills, hardwood projects last longer and hold their shape better. However, it’s best to start out with softer materials and develop your skills from there.

Another recommendation for beginner whittlers is to select wood with a straight grain. This makes whittling strokes much smoother, and the wood is less likely to chip and ruin your project. There are hundreds of different softwoods that fit into this category, so here are a few of the best and most popular types of wood for beginners in whittling to use:

Basswood: Basswood is one of the oldest traditional woodworking materials. It’s very soft, and the grain is extremely fine, meaning a sharp knife will cut through with ease. Basswood is one of the best choices for beginners as you can achieve a great result without too much effort. However, it’s not a material you’ll come across in the backcountry so you need to buy basswood blocks from a craft or hardware store.

Balsa wood: Balsa wood is very similar to basswood, except it’s darker in color. The straight grain and soft texture make it easy for beginners to carve, and this material is cheap to buy from craft or hobby stores. As you whittle balsa wood, it may turn to a yellow-brown color.

Butternut: Butternut is another very popular whittling material. It has a slightly coarser grain than basswood or balsa but is just as easy to work with. You can buy butternut for whittling from lumberyards.

Pine: Pine is a very popular whittling wood that can be found almost anywhere. It’s easy to recognize when you’re out on a camping trip, making it ideal for impromptu projects. Fresh pine contains a lot of sap, but dead and dry wood is soft and easy to whittle.

Apple and cherry wood: Apple and Cherry wood are both easy to find out in the backcountry, and both have a wonderful smell which adds some additional enjoyment to the whittling process. Ideal for making cutlery or bowls, these fruit woods are a fantastic choice for your wood carving project.

Ash: Ash is a good choice for sturdier carving projects, such as knives or wooden stakes. The wood from an ash tree has a straight grain which makes it fairly easy to whittle and is an easy material to find out in the field.

Birch: Birch is one of the most common trees across the northern hemisphere, you can find it almost anywhere. This wood is soft and often drops branches to the forest floor so your materials are readily available. Birchwood can be used to whittle whether it’s green or dry, making it a reliable option for any woodworking project.

Sticks and Branches: Although it may seem obvious, all the random twigs and branches scattered around in nature can be turned into a whittling project! They’re soft and easy to work with, and there’s a surprising number of things you can create from a simple fallen twig. Look out for a reasonably straight branch without too many knots, and you could make a knife or many different decorative items.

Any time you step outdoors, free whittling materials are all around you.

Dry vs green wood

If you pick up a fallen branch in the forest, it’s most likely to be wet, or green. The higher moisture content of green wood makes it easier to work with, and of course, you can find it everywhere in the wild. The downside of working with green wood is your project will be less durable and is unlikely to last long under pressure. Green wood is ideal for beginners because it’s easy to achieve a high level of detail, but more advanced whittlers may choose a longer-lasting material.

Dried and potentially treated woods are more challenging to whittle, and you’re less likely to come across them in the field. If you want to work with cured wood, you’ll probably need to buy it from a shop, adding to the cost of your project. However, the price is worth it if you’re creating a piece you want to withstand the test of time.

Whittling supplies

As well as a carving knife and a block of wood, there are a few other supplies you might want for your whittling project. It’s very important to use a sharp blade when whittling, as not only will your work become much harder as the knife dulls, but the change of accidental injury also increases. To keep your carving knife sharp, you’ll need a sharpening stone. This will help you keep the blade as thin and accurate as possible, allowing you to achieve a better level of detail and keep whittling away for a longer period of time.

You may also want to invest in some protective gear designed for whittling. This art form requires the use of a very sharp blade throughout, so cuts are a real danger. Work gloves, particularly cut resistant gloves, are a great idea to wear while you whittle. You could also use a thumb guard which allows for more maneuverability while protecting the part of your hand most likely to meet the blade. Safety should always come first, so be careful anytime you use a whittling knife. Broken wooden projects can be very disappointing, but it’s more preferable than losing a finger. One alternative to a thumb guard is to wrap your working thumb in duct tape. It’s a clumsy solution, but a few layers of duct tape is better than no protection at all.

How to whittle

So, after you’ve selected the best wood for your whittling project, and are well supplied with an appropriate knife and protective gear, it’s time to get started! The first thing you need to know regarding how to whittle is to always go with the grain. Trying to carve perpendicular to the grain can result in splitting and tearing wood, while cuts along the grain will be smooth and clean. Examine your material carefully to figure out which direction the grain is going. With practice, you will be able to identify it much more easily.

There are many different styles of whittling, and over time you’re likely to develop your own preferred techniques. However, there are several basic whittling cuts that every beginner should learn. With these in your arsenal, completing most wooden projects should be easy. In all techniques, the knife is held in your dominant hand while your wood is held in the other. Here are the cutting techniques you need to know to start whittling:

Straightaway rough cut: When you begin a new whittling project, the first cut you’ll need is the straightaway rough cut. Use this technique to create a rough shape of the design you want to produce. It’s difficult to create detail with a straightaway rough cut, but it’s the best option to carve away the majority of unwanted material. To make this cut, you use a long, sweeping movement away from your body. Don’t cut too deep; the idea is to shave away at the wood one thin layer at a time to create a smooth and neat surface. If you try to go too deep with a straightaway rough cut you could ruin the peace of wood, so have patience, take your time, and enjoy the meditative nature of slowly peeling away layers of material.

Pull stroke: The pull stroke, or paring cut, is the same cutting technique you’d use on an apple. If you’ve ever noticed an old-timer whittling, they’re probably using this cut. The pull stroke is the most common and most useful whittling cut because it allows for a great deal of control and accuracy, but it’s also dangerous because you pull the blade directly towards your thumb. To use this cut, brace the thumb of your dominant hand against the wood, using your opposite hand for support. Then, carefully pull the knife blade towards you in a short and controlled stroke. Try to keep your thumb out of the blade’s path; it’s highly recommended to wear protective gear when whittling wood using this technique.

Push stroke: Sometimes the location of a cut means you can’t use a pull stroke. In this case, a push stroke is the next best option to maintain control and a good level of detail. Hold your project in your non-dominant hand, and place the knife where you need to cut with the blade facing away from you. Then, use your thumbs on both hands on the back of the knife blade to push the blade forward. Your non-dominant thumb should do most of the work, while your dominant thumb and hand guide the blade and provide control.

You’ll be surprised about the things you can whittle out of wood.

Final Verdict:

With these three basic cutting techniques, you should be able to carve most easy whittling projects. Newbies should start with a simple project, as you need to get a feel for the skill before moving on to more complicated tasks. Items such as a wooden egg, garden gnome, or knife or spoon are a great place to start. Learning to whittle wood is incredibly rewarding, even if the most complex thing you can produce is a pointy stick. There are so many DIY projects you can make by whittling, the possibilities are endless. All you need is a little time and patience, and soon you’ll be a proper wood carver!

How to Take Your Own Internet to Outdoor Events

Published

October 18, 2025

Jonas Muthoni

You’ve got the permits, the lineup, the stage design, and the crowd — but when it comes to WiFi, outdoor events can turn from dream festivals to data dead zones in minutes. Reliable connectivity is now as essential as power or sound. Whether it’s a music festival streaming to TikTok, a food fair using mobile POS systems, or a corporate brand activation relying on live dashboards, the internet connection is what keeps the gears turning.

But the truth is this: counting on venue WiFi at a large outdoor event is a gamble. Hundreds of devices fighting for the same bandwidth can jam up the signal before the headliner gets on stage. Public networks only have one backhaul connection, so your production crew, security cameras, and vendors could all be fighting with concert-goers streaming YouTube in the crowd.

So, if your aspiration is to keep the event chugging along like clockwork, the genius move is to bring your own internet — designed specifically for the occasion, private, and controlled by your event staff.

Why Venue WiFi Fails When Crowds Arrive

Let’s start with the numbers. According to Cisco’s 2024 Annual Internet Report, the average person now connects four to six devices at live events — phones, wearables, tablets, scanners, and streaming gear. Multiply that by 5,000 or 50,000 people, and you’re looking at a digital traffic jam.

Outdoor locations have a very minimal amount of wired infrastructure. The majority utilize older systems or common fiber links, which were not designed for thousands of users at once. When the signal is over-stretched, latency increases, access points fail, and the network grinds to a halt.

For event organizers, this is not only inconvenient — it’s a safety and revenue gamble. POS terminals won’t work. QR ticket scanners crawl. Even backup communication programs freeze.

The Smarter Solution: Creating Your Own Network

Constructing a stand-alone network for an outside event may seem daunting, but technology has made it relatively achievable. Instead of relying on one provider or tower, professional crews now use several sources of the internet to deliver redundancy and stability.

Outdoor WiFi specialists use multi-carrier cellular bonding, satellite uplinks, and WAN smoothing to keep traffic consistent even when one source is down. It’s a lot like having several water pipes feed one tank — if one pipe gets stopped up, others keep the flow consistent.

The best configuration depends on three variables:

Location: Urban park, remote valley, rooftop, or open desert all have different signal profiles and line-of-sight challenges.
Bandwidth Demand: Are you providing power to a 50-person AV crew or streaming to a million online viewers?
Duration: A day-long music festival versus a week-long brand tour will change the way you plan power, cooling, and redundancy.

Professional crews will often pre-deploy with site surveys — gauging carrier strength, spectrum congestion, and potential sources of interference such as LED walls or nearby broadcast towers.

Lessons from the Field

Outdoor WiFi would be a niche specialty, but in today’s world it’s simply part and parcel of modern event production. In the last decade, TradeShowInternet’s teams have helped support hundreds of big outdoor festivals and corporate activations, and there have been a few hard-won lessons along the way.

There was the time crews climbed a half mile up the flank of a Santa Fe mountain with over 200 pounds of gear to put in a solar-powered relay antenna for Red Bull’s Guinness World Record truck jump. A second assignment involved digging cable trenches through snake country in Los Angeles for Christian Dior’s fashion show.

When Univision taped La Banda on the beach in Miami, technicians climbed a 20-foot truss into a lightning storm to raise antennas. These are probably war stories, but they represent reality: each outdoor location introduces its own wildcards. Wind, weather, terrain, and local RF noise all push the limits of planning.

The lesson? Experience is as important as gear. Knowing when to use additional directional antennas, when to flip to satellite failover, or how to protect a router from 100-degree heat isn’t something you can read in a manual.

The Technical Side: How Redundant Networks Keep Events Alive

This is how seasoned outdoor internet crews engineer reliability into temporary networks:

Multi-Carrier Bonding: Equipment stitches together data from multiple cellular carriers (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.) to maximize bandwidth and fill signal gaps.

WAN Smoothing: Packets are duplicated and relayed on secondary paths to prevent noticeable drops or hiccups in live streams.
Satellite Integration: Especially when out at remote sites or in mountain events where cell phone reception is spotty.
5G + LTE Hybrid Units: Combining newer high-bandwidth 5G networks with more predictable LTE offers well-rounded throughput.
Portable Mesh Access Points: Create overlapping areas of WiFi that eliminate dead spots across vast grounds or over tented locations.
Power & Weather Protection: Ranging from Pelican case enclosures to solar power solutions, all of which ensure uptime regardless of adverse weather conditions.

It’s a multi-layer strategy — not one device straining the load, but several working in tandem to handle bandwidth, robustness, and coverage.

Why Your Vendors, AV Staff, and Guests All Need Their Own Network Layer

External events normally have three distinct user communities that require the internet:

Production and AV Personnel – operation of live feeds, mixing panels, lighting, and communications programs.
Vendors and POS Devices – card transaction processing, QR menus, and inventory software.
Guests and Media – posting, uploading, or taking part in brand interaction activity.

Mixing them all on one open WiFi is risky. It provides security vulnerabilities and causes too much congestion. The preferred method is network segmentation, creating separate virtual networks that prioritize mission-critical traffic (production, POS, security cameras) and restrict non-mission-critical use like social browsing.

This is exactly how professional outdoor WiFi & Internet solution companies like TradeShowInternet build event systems. They design bespoke topologies that match the unique demands of every event, whether a food festival, marathon, or big corporate activation.

Budgeting and Planning: What Organizers Should Know

According to EventMB’s 2024 Event Technology Report, 73% of event planners say maintaining a reliable connection is important to attendee happiness, yet less than half have a standalone internet budget in place upfront while planning. That’s a recipe for last-minute scrambling.

For all to run smoothly, the network plan needs to be created alongside stage design and power planning — not an afterthought.

Some planning advice:

Start early: Conduct site surveys at least 30 days ahead of the event.
Prioritize wired backbones: Use fiber or Ethernet in production areas whenever possible.
Segregate guest WiFi: Utilize bandwidth caps or sponsored captive portals to control usage.
Redundancy: Cellular + satellite bonding is well worth the investment for mission-critical space.
Post-event review: Collect performance data to inform next year’s plan.

Real-World Use Cases

Outdoor connectivity is not just for music festivals. It’s a necessity for:

Marathons and triathlons – for timing chips, live maps, and emergency co-ordination.
Outdoor conferences or summits – where executives require office-grade internet to make presentations.
Food truck festivals and markets – all vendors need POS access.
Film and TV productions – production villages rely on low-latency connections for uploads.
Races and motorsport events – telemetry, live scoring, and media streaming.

Each of these environments needs a different trade-off among coverage area, upload speed, and mobility.

Why Experience Matters for Outdoor Internet Installations

Each outdoor location is unique. Trees, humidity, metal buildings, even bodies of water can affect wireless performance. Having individuals who’ve done hundreds of installations means fewer surprises and faster repairs when something unexpected happens.

That’s where TradeShowInternet, a leading outdoor WiFi & Internet solution company, comes in. The company has built up networks on deserts, beaches, helipads, mountain ridges, and pop-up brand villages — keeping organizers, vendors, and AV teams connected wherever the event is hosted.

A concert in the canyon. A film night under desert stars. A bustling waterfront food festival with 10,000 guests. Across the country, outdoor events are turning parks, coastlines, forests, and fields into memorable destinations. But there’s one service now as essential as power, permits, and porta-potties: outdoor event WiFi.

Whether for ticket scanning, mobile POS systems, sponsor activations, or live-streaming performances, WiFi for outdoor events has become the invisible support that keeps everything running. Without it, payments stall, communication falters, and digital engagement stops.

Why Outdoor Event WiFi Is Mission-Critical

The outdoor events sector, from farmers’ markets to endurance races, is growing quickly. Allied Market Research predicts global festival revenues will exceed $50B by 2030. These venues offer unique charm, but they also pose a challenge: a lack of built-in internet infrastructure.

“Outside doesn’t mean offline,” says Emma Castillo, a production manager for festivals, film nights, and open-air corporate launches. “We rely on temporary internet for outdoor events to manage our security communications, allow vendors to keep selling, and ensure our livestreams don’t drop.”

Cellular service can struggle with the demands of thousands of devices. Some remote locations may not have any service at all. That’s where outdoor event WiFi solutions come in—portable, scalable, and designed for unpredictable weather.

How Outdoor Internet Keeps Events Moving

Today’s outdoor events rely on connectivity in ways that go far beyond letting guests post on social media:

Mobile POS & Cashless Payments – No signal means lost revenue for vendors.
RFID & Access Control – Real-time validation at gates and VIP areas.
Streaming & Social Content – From TikTok reels to sponsor livestreams.
Sponsor Engagement – QR contests, AR activations, and digital signage updates.
Safety & Logistics – Staff communication, emergency alerts, GPS tracking.

A recent Event Manager Blog study found 63% of sponsors now require guaranteed internet access before committing. Attendees want it too; more than half say connectivity is a key factor in their event satisfaction.

Outdoor Event WiFi Solutions in Action: “Lights on the Lake”

In June, the lakeside town of Lakeshore hosted a three-day open-air film festival. The views were stunning, but no wired internet was available, and mobile service barely worked.

The technical crew set up:

Multi-carrier 5G bonding for vendor and guest networks
Long-range weatherproof access points covering the pier and food court
A private secure network for organizers and emergency staff
A satellite uplink for backup

The festival processed thousands of transactions, streamed Q&A sessions with international filmmakers, and even operated a live voting app without a single connectivity failure.

Industry Perspective: Connectivity as a Core Utility

According to WiFit founder Matt Cicek, changes in event technology priorities have been significant:

“Five years ago, internet at an outdoor event was seen as a nice-to-have. Now, it’s as essential as running water and electricity. From safety coordination to sponsor returns, there’s too much at stake to leave it to chance.”

The Future of Temporary Internet for Outdoor Events

As events become more complex, WiFi for outdoor events from service providers like WiFit will play an even larger role. Expect advancements like:

Solar-powered network kits for sustainable operations
AI-managed bandwidth that adjusts to real-time crowd size
Edge computing for instant AR and interactive attractions

For event planners, the message is clear: the quality of your internet connection is as important as your stage, lighting, or sound system. The next time you’re booking a venue, remember—the crowd may be watching the performers, but they’re also looking at their screens. They expect both to work perfectly.

By keeping an eye out for deals during this shopping period, you can save money while ensuring you’re well-prepared for your next big adventure.

Multi-Tools Are a Must-Have

Want to know the most versatile pieces of gear you can carry? It is a multi-tool. Whether you’re camping, hiking, or hunting, having a tool that can serve multiple functions is a game-changer. Multi-tools come equipped with a variety of features such as knives, screwdrivers, pliers, and scissors, all compactly housed in a single device that easily fits in your pocket or pack.

The practicality of a multi-tool is hard to beat. It allows you to tackle unexpected tasks, from cutting rope to repairing gear, all without needing to carry a full toolbox. When you’re out in the wild, you want to be prepared for anything, and a multi-tool ensures you’re ready to handle small emergencies or make quick fixes with ease.

Insulated Water Bottles Can Improve Your Outdoor Experience

Staying hydrated is one of the most important aspects of any outdoor activity. Whether you’re embarking on a long hike or spending hours in a hunting blind, having an insulated water bottle can make a difference. Insulated bottles have features that help to keep your drinks at the desired temperature for a long time, which is especially useful during extreme weather conditions.

These bottles maintain the temperature of your beverage—whether cold or hot—so you can enjoy refreshing water in the summer or a warm drink during chilly morning hunts. Insulated water bottles are also typically made from durable materials, meaning they can withstand the rigors of outdoor use without breaking or leaking. Investing in a high-quality insulated bottle ensures that you stay hydrated and comfortable throughout your outdoor excursions.

Durable Backpacks Can Enhance Your Outdoor Experience

A good backpack is the cornerstone of any successful outdoor trip. When you’re out in nature, you need a reliable, durable pack to carry all of your gear comfortably. Look for backpacks that are built to withstand harsh conditions, provide ample storage, and have ergonomic designs that distribute weight evenly to prevent strain on your back and shoulders.

Modern outdoor backpacks come equipped with multiple compartments to help you stay organized, as well as specialized features like hydration bladder compatibility, rain covers, and reinforced straps. By investing in a durable, well-designed backpack, you’ll have the capacity to carry everything you need—whether it’s extra clothing, food, or hunting gear—while maintaining comfort during long treks.
