    Two decades evidence of Birch tapping.

    Really appreciate this thread & the attentiveness to long term data and the wellbeing of trees!

    Shamagh

    Apparently they are restocking very soon! I've been craving one of the green and black ones. You just can't beat proper craftsmanship in a great textile.

    Wintermoot 2025

    @Chris is that your pointy tent? It's very attractive! I love the photo of Tony and the catapult, i feel like you could put some words on that and turn it into a post-punk album cover

    Tarp teepee

    I have a Moonlight Spire It was ~70 quid, and is fairly light (although not optimised for weight). It's a glamping tent with no central pole and very very quick to put up, in a nice brown tone. Keeps at least some rain out, altho I find things inside do have a mysterious dampness to them in thr...

    What did you forage today?

    Very excited to find some wood Sorrel on my camp out, after being shown it at the tracking session at the Moot. Tasted incredible, the citrus was with me for ages

    My belt kit.

    I have a belt kit on camps as well as a little rucksack; mine has a knife, my house keys, sometimes money, and a face mask for smoky fires, plus a tinder bag, a compass, tissues (my nose runs in the cold), maybe a phone, and string. In a real survival situation, I'd also put a fire kit in there...

    Wintermoot 2025

    Just packing & getting ready to go on the road! For the second year in a row, all my doctors have been too busy to get my prescriptions in time so I really couldn't feel less like doing a big journey into the outdoors, my soul is already filled with rain. I've got a stop-off planned half way...

    Old Fashioned Truck Stops

    I wish i could remember where we were, but we found a magnificent - extremely gentrified - motorway service station built like a longbarrow with drystone walling, a grass roof, lots of wood inside and all the food was from local farms, complete with a fancy duck pond. Honestly, I vibed...

    Old Fashioned Truck Stops

    Disney parks do not serve alcohol as a rule but when they opened Eurodisney they were told quite flatly that would not fly in Paris XD

    Survival situation - what would you do?

    That's a good angle to consider. I've read a fair number of disaster memoirs now, and as far as I can tell the rule is 1. If everything is going to plan, shelter in place. That's much safer, preserves resources and strength, you're easier to find. 2. If something has gone horribly wrong...

    Liars or Trolls? Wrong or deliberately wrong...

    Here's a collection of some of the weirdest engagement-bait AI images that have been popping up. I find them very compelling but also they make me glad not to be on facebook any more XD (note: some of these are NSFW-ish or kind of frightening or bizzare to look at!)
