The cat has the right idea, saying indoors when it's like this, and the smell of the resin isn't seeming to bother him too much. The melted and cooled resin from eralier, it's very glassy at the moment so it needs some beeswax in it, or some charcoal, I have beeswax so I'll use that! The shell...

@Drew: As it's such a small amount I'll probably just put it around a stick for later. @Shewie: Yeah, I'll punch some holes in a tin and strain it through that :) or I may drill a hole in the shell and suspend it over another container and let the resin drip through. EDIT: I've drilled a hole...

It is chucking it down outside, I don't have central heating so I have a paraffin heater instead, IM not sure when it was made, but it looks old and is still going strong today! It throws out so much heat it seems a shame to just let it heat the house, so I put a shell full of pine resin on...

I tend to make stuff or do 'housework' for example, you always need more wood, so a good concentrated hour of finding and preparing some is a good hour spent, by that point I want a cup of tea, so I build the fire up and make one, that takes about a half hour to do and drink. Then make a...

Lol, you must think me mad then sir! :D

I've been thinking about the Scandinavian kits for a while now and I'm very tempted to make one, just need to get some bone first... hello local butcher! I have a material one I made a while ago. It's not pretty but it does the job, it's also big enough to stop getting lost, I'm awful for...

I've been super busy these past few months, so much so that the only thing I've been able to update is my facebook from time to time, that being said, it's nice to come back to a place where everyone is the same and so friendly, it's been like coming home to a roaring fire and a cup of hot...

Love the thread, absolutely fantastic and entertaining, I hope you and the kids are coming along to the bushmoot next year!

Sounds good and it should work, just make sure you set up above high tide! :)

It's cold enough indoors for me, I'm really not a cold camper lol! But each to their own and if you do manage to get out, good for you :)

Wow that is amazing, just a few bits of what I assume is bamboo and three rocks. Stunning. Thanks for sharing!

I'm still here in body if not mind... Just busy at the moment, seems like this time of year is the worst for random happenings... I try to life by the phrase: "Improper planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine" but work is still coming out of the blue and fast. Not such a...

I dunno what is wrong with me today, I'm feeling a bit weird, it started last night, I don't normally speak my mind around friends but my next-door neighbour came down asking for a cup of coffee. I didn't want to make it for him, he never makes coffee/tea when he comes to visit which is once or...

I love plantain for cuts, scrapes and sting - it's also pretty good for burns as well as I found out at the bushmoot :) it's not as good as aloe vera, but unfortunately I forgot to take some this year and I just tried out the plantain on a whim as the burn was absolutely killing and it cooled it...

Very interesting, thank you for posting the link :) It's fascinating to think that we humans are so inventive at such an early age in our development!

Oooh int he loverly! :D

I live here, it's a wonderful place to visit, lots of various terrain and bio habitiats. Be aware that everyone around here seems to move in slow motion ;)

Looks interesting :) I am looking forward to the result!

That was a very good read, thank you for finding and sharing :D
