Now you tell me... Oh well I'm not superstitious :P

Ok, the results are in! The first feather was a small white fluffy one (not sure what bird it's from :/, I'm new to this :P) with my index finger for size comparison. [/IMG] It caught the spark first time, but didn't really burn just sort of melted. Sorry for terrible picture, couldnt see...

Ok everyone i'll report back in a minute! and yes mesquite i did have a good time in vietnam, such a beautiful country. :) thanks for asking! There was something i saw in a museum there that said "vietnam is a country not a war"... so true!

I was standing in my garden earlier and I saw lots of feathers on the ground, which got me thinking. Could you use Feathers to catch a spark from a fire steel? Considering I could see at least 5 in my garden alone, its not like they are hard to find, and fluffy ones would be even better, right...

Hello everyone! I'm back in Saigon after staying with a family on an island on the Mekong delta! And I have some more questions... How often do these meet-ups occur? Because if they aren't too often then I won't get to practise :( and I just want to say again, thanks for all the help and warm...

Yeah i think you're right, but I wasn't sure what kind of gear I would need, and I already have them so meh. But the Dpm trousers I may still use because they have plenty of pockets on them!

I live in borehamwood just off the A1, but about the local meets, I'm not sure if my parents would approve of me meeting up with strange men who I met off the Internet at night in a forest (no offence) but I'm sure maybe if someone came with me it would be alright?

Hey thanks so much for the help guys and the very warm welcome! :) and the books are chronicles of ancient darkness by Michelle paver, the first book is wolf brother. Now my plan is to go to one of the bushcraft stores mesquite mentioned with my dad (as soon as i get back home) and by a knife...

Aha! Thanks so much for the help, and yes, the books are chronicles of ancient darkness I just didn't mention the name because I didn't think anyone would know of it! And do you agree about the detail she puts into the tracking and hunting especially in the last book, ghost hunter.

Ok so, here is my story. I'm 14 years old and I want to get into bushcraft for a few reasons: #1 I'm a scout and I have been from the minimum age you can join them at 5 or 6 years old (I'm not sure, don't quote me on that!) and obviously I am therefore interested in the outdoors. #2...
