I'm not sure if it is native to England, or if it will grow there at all, but if it is/does iwill absolutely recommend bort Jerusalem Artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) and black salsify (Scorzonera hispanica).

It's Jimmy Hoffa! He is sitting right next to the roe deer baby.....

Thought Iwould post this here to. Had a go at making chaga tinkture. I had a jar filled with vodka and chaga and left it in a dark place for 6 weeks, shaking it once every second day. I started sifting the mix. The vodka have a deep rich brownish colour. And it hade a lovely sweet smell of...

Food for man and dog for a given numer of days or weeks, fishing gear, hunting gear, reindeer meat, fish, tent, sleeping bag, skis, snow shoes, beer, traps and what not. I sometimes need to carry pretty large pieces of wood over some distance. And on the Recon pack you can detach the sack from...

Thanks guys. Always fun to learn something new. Sorry for highjacking your thread a bit Fishfish. I get a bit carried away sometimes. But I guess it answered your question in the end. And if I'm not mistaken there are a few peoples on here that have a slight interest in the secrets of the...

Found these wonderfull pictures of the spore bearing fruit of the chaga fungus: http://www.mushroomhunter.net/091208.htm Thsi is the stuff you need if you want to infect other trees.

Probably not close enough......

It is a trick picture. If you look closer you'll see that he is using a Stihl saw, making this perfectly safe because the saw will never start:lmao:

Yes, it survived just fine. The biggest problem was that all the straps slowly slipped out of the buckles, so I had to stop every 15 minutes tightening it all up to avoid the pack to hang on my knees. I have had 25kg of wet fishing net in it for a 5 hr walk with no problem. But 32 was obviously...

This was at some altitude (approx 700 masl), and the tree was the mountain variety of the betula pubescens, meaning short and twisted trunk. The total hight of the tree was not more than 4 meters high, but my guess is that it is 40+ years old. It is the tree to the right of the ant hill. I was...

Ditto! Loading 32kg in a HelSport pack designed for 18kg didn't improve the carrying comfort....

Yes, I think you are right. I've read everything from 1/1000 to 1/15000, and it takes up to 20 years from the tree is infected til it is dead and the spore bearing stage develops. Very often the tree is felled or dies of other things before the fungus reaches its reproduction stage. And I guess...

A slob likecthis one then?

And remember that the black conks is not the spore bearing fruit of the fungus. The spore bearing fruit does not appear before after the tree has actually died, and it is very fragile and deteriorate in a few days. It is very rarely seen, and you would need one to collect spores to infect the...

I have a collegue who is competeing in drag race on a national level. He gets motors and parts sent over from the US on a regular basis. He uses a norwegian company named JetCarrier (http://www.jetcarrier.com/) and he is very satisfied with them, never lost a singel part in transit, never any...

In Norwegian, but you will get the picture: http://www.nrk.no/ho/et-eventyr-pa-treski-1.10967891

It is an old standard EKA model with a Normark logo. I remember Normark equipment from when I was a kid because it was fairly cheap, but the quality was thereafter. From the link above it looks like the brand still exists, but I rarely see it in shops here in Norway anymore. EKA (Eskilstuna) is...

Aah. I hate you guys. Now I have to buy some sheep and carding tools to, as if I didn't have enough projects on my hands. Seriously. Excellent thread Harvestman and Elen. If there was a thread of the year award, this would be the winnwr. Looking forward to the rest.

Nice tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
