Ok, let's get this month off to as start. 'At rest' is the theme, and it is also my dog's favourite state of being, after 'eating'. He is old, so doesn't run much any more.

I'm pretty lucky to have a girlfriend who totally got into bushcraft after she met me. She was a city girl who asked me what a certain noise was while sitting besides a pond. It was a FROG! So... it was a long road to get her up to making fire with a bowdrill :D

I learned her everything I knew regarding 'Bushcraft' and I always feel proud when she manages to get comfortable in the environment and weather that is thrown at us. This photo, although not very artistic or well edited, always makes me feel like the luckiest guy on Earth :) (this photo was taken after we built a lean-to in Sweden and caught a nice trout before spending the night in the shelter after a long day) Finally some well deserved diner and rest!

I thought I would enter my little friend into this competition.

We were wandering through a local wood when my girlfriend spotted the squirrel, we watched him and tried getting photos of him, most of which were successful. He wasn't too bothered by our presence at all and performed some acrobatics for us around the branches, even hanging and eating upside down several times. He eventually jumped on to this mossy tree and just sat there and munched away quite happily. We must have stayed there for 10 - 20 minutes and he never moved on so we left him in peace.
