Just wanted to book a 5 day course in may or june at trueways :(

Where else could you try out those new toys which looked so nice in the catalogue ;)

Hi Mike, the fungus is known to be antibacterial and antibiotic. It was very helpful to german prisoners of war in siberia. The tea made of it helps fighting gastro-intestinal diseases and there is something like a rumor going round that the regular use of the tea prevents stomach cancer...

Thank you ;) Found the medical uses and the german name "Birkenporling", but this one is too old for tea :( Andreas

Hi there, my nephew found a fungus on a living birch and I really don't know, whether it is a tinder fungus or not :confused: Does anybody know this fungus and can tell me how to treat it ? Thanks Andreas

If you need something to cook your food in why don't you give the swedish army a chance :D ? http://www.raeer.com/shopexd.asp?page=&id=23153?var=00000 You'll find this one on ebay too and there are a lot of vids on youtube. The burner itself is a trangia and you can make a wood fire...

Hi there, since I found nothing similar in Germany I finally registered here ;) I'm an old BofH from Germany who is going to make his first visit (exept Heathrow...) to the UK learning some bushcraft (at trueways). regards Andreas
