Have a good one mate :D

It can be one piece of cord made of three different plants. At least two have to be collected and processed by you, but someone on here can supply the other if you/they so wish ;)

Why thank you ArkAngel :D

Off topic i know Leon but refering back to one of my previous posts, I've decided that before we next meet you have to make at least two metres of cordage, using at least three different natural materials :rolleyes: I'm hoping we can get together either just before or just after my next trip...

I bought a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS1from Amazon in the january sale last year. It should have been £135, but was £75 in the sale. It's a great little camera and has been worth every penny.

Cheers guys :You_Rock_ Nice picture BTW Wayland :D

Merry Christmas to everyone on BCUK. [/IMG] Kevin

Olive oil tends to thicken when heated so i would recommend either veg or sunflower oil. As leon say's heating the oil before putting the spoon in, will help to force air out of the wood and replace it with oil.....gives much better results in my experience :)

Leon, How many feet of cordage have you made so far and out of what different materials? How many spoons have you carved? How regularly can you get an ember with the bow-drill? Have you created fire by sparking onto feather sticks yet? What I'm suggesting, is that you keep...

Hi Leon, Just found this site which will help to teach you quite alot about cordage and about some of the native American people that used it. http://imnh.isu.edu/Public/JustForKids/CordageDiscoveryBox/Home_page/mm_temp.htm

Ok Fire Starter, here you are.... Take three to for leaves from the middle of the stalk and fold them in half. Bend the bundle about an inch up from the fold to make the foot. [/IMG] Split a heart leaf and then bind the foot and leg to maintain its position. [/IMG] Wrap the...

Mors taught us how to make these in Canada earlier this year, so I'll describe and he'll demonstrate ;) For best results, collect the Reed Mace leaves in autumn after they turn brown. The leaves from vegetative stalks work best, rather than those with a seed head on. If you collect them...

I'll see what i can do mate ;)
