Wild Camping / Bushcrafting

That's an amazing place you have there to escape to Alan. I really like the idea of removal that mental noise / clutter.
I try to practice a bit of mindfulness when I'm just in the garden, I'm just not very good at it yet !

Colin i too use gardening to 'de-clutter' but i find to totally dump the noise i have to escape to the middle of nowhere. The coastline is also another good place for me to visit.

Nick.

Here is my main firewood processing tools when out and about. It's a Mora 'Light My Fire' knife that has a ferro rod built into the handle (removeable) and a Bahco Laplander saw. The Bahco is worth every single penny it costs. I've used it for over 10 years now and it still cuts like a dream. I also collect birch bark whenever i get the chance. Fantastic fire lighting product.

Totally agree about the Bahco Alan, still have mine after many years and it's almost as good as new!

I wouldn't go that far about mine lol. It's been 'dinked' off the ground a few times whilst sawing wood for the fires / stoves. But it's still a trusty saw and i would buy another in a heartbeat should i need to replace it.

After finding that my old green cheap tarp had been used as a nest for a family of mice so was full of holes, i made this rather nice purchase.

DD Hammocks 3x3m Multicam tarp. Planning a few more overnight camps with this. Rather chuffed :smiling3:

We used to wrap uncooked eggs in plastic or clingfilm, then put them in the centre of an aluminium grenade tin surrounded by sugar (double effect, , yum and longer-term), Bacon was trimmed down by SWMBO, wrapped round a cocktail stick and crammed into a 35m ally film container before having bacon fat poured over to seal the gaps! When circumstances allowed bacon and eggs in a mess tin! Oh Joy, Oh Bliss!!! Living high on the hog for a brief moment!
