I've been trying to extract lovely soft nettle fibres for weaving. I have seen pictures of what they should [correction, Toddy says the below is just "smash". Frankly, I'd be pleased just to get this at the moment!] look like: But I am struggling with the process. I understood it might be...

When Drew first arrived at the bushmoot he was over-enthusiastic, ready to rush gung-ho and ill-prepared into anything and seemed desperate to gain our approval with his stories about his exploits. I thought he'd calm down after a few days. As it transpired, he never did calm down - he kept the...

I've just found this - well done Sally! An enormous amount of effort - I hope it all paid off in the end - did your hunters wife like the one they got? I'm sorry I missed this before. I got taken out of action for a few months last year. It looks like you did wonderfully well. Dogwood gave me an...

I had a look at the World Health Organisation guidance http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs094/en/ Malaria is both curable and preventable. The reoccurrence of symptoms after the original bout is due to a dormant stage of the parasite living in the liver, but that can be cured too with...

Beautiful looking work.

Lovely pictures Rich - great to see you guys out enjoying yourselves again :)

Looks like a great trip - thanks for sharing

Good work so far Drew. Your method so far would be great for a base camp where it doesn't matter if you have some extra weight (scales, bottles, mixing bowls, bags of ingredients).

Hi AndyLea and welcome. There are plenty of skilled folks on here that can help you along the way :)

I hope if it is successful that it is possible to manufacture at low cost so that those who need it most can be treated.

Wow - this looks like its going to be a really interesting thread. I'm afraid I haven't got the expertise to be able to add anything, but will be watching to see how you guys get on with answering the question :)

Sorry to hear about your mishap Androo, but glad you are not letting it get the better of you. A great attitude - and the spoon looks excellent, so definitely worth keeping up the carving :)

Good to see plenty of people tied to trees weaving :)

I'd have loved to come - will have to do it next year instead. I had a nasty accident and was in hospital for further surgery this time. I'm glad it went well in spite of the rain. Weird about the folk that turned away???

And a happy birthday from me again :)
