    Bone needles

    Nice work John. I made some bone needles myself over the weekend, my attempt at replicating some stone age needles using flint and sandpaper in place of some sand stone. To be polished with some sand and water when I get time. Tim Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

    Thanks. Regarding the trap it would trageting ground feeding bird that will be peeking around such as pheasants (I believe this trap is used in Africa to catch guinea fowl). The edge of the trap would be camouflaged so the bird would need to look in to get the bait. The trap was dismantled...

    Day Out The Fallen Oak (pt5) - Ground-Feeding Bird Snare and Gammon Lunch

    The fire was loaded with oak to burn down ready for lunch and I chilled and did a few small things around camp. Even something small like a lid lifter for the zebra can make a little difference around camp. The coals for lunch were ready for another green stick cooking method (I...

    Day Out The Fallen Oak (pt4) - Cooking Honey Glazed Chicken For Dinner

    Thanks Mark, are you referring to the broiler style green stick cooking? I have cooked meats such as steak and bacon on one but nothing bigger for fear of the sticks burning through before the meal is fully cooked. Even though the camp breaks the leave no trace rule I would normally go by...
