    Roast Thistle

    I went for a wander down the river bank today to practice fire lighting using feathersticks. I got my fire going no problem and put the billy on for a brew. When the fire had burnt down to embers I put some Thistle stems on to see what they would roast up like. I covered them over with embers...

    Best thing about Spring....

    One of the things that I like to do in the spring is to make Pine needle tea. Here's my method... First I tap a Birch for the sap. While the sap is collecting (this can take a couple of hours :roll: ) go and find some pine needles. Put the sap on to boil and chop the needles in to short...

    New Personal Best..

    I had a couple of nights on the river bank last week pike fishing. About half an hour after dark on Tuesday I had a run on the downstream rod, after a brief fight I netted the fish. I didn't think it was very big until I tried to lift the net from the water. After unhooking the fish I slipped it...

    Night fishing and new tent

    I got my new tent at the beginning of the week, so I thought I'd give it a test run. There's bags of space in it and you can have a fire inside. If you keep low down smoke is not a problem, but if you stand it can be quite bad. Having a fire in the tent is big advantage, keeps you warm...

    Japanese Knotweed.

    Japanese Knotweed has a segmented stem kind of like a bamboo. I know this plant is edible, it tastes simular to rhubarb (one of my collies loves it). What I want to know is, is the water found in the segments safe to drink without any purification? There isn't a great deal of water but it is clear.

    Waterproofing Boots

    I bought a pair of Berghaus Explorer 3 GTX boots yesterday. They are Gortex lined suede and fabric. What's the best product to use to keep them waterproof? Oh and what does everybody use on their boots to keep water out?

    Kingfishers

    I found a Kingfishers nest the other day while I was out in my canoe. I had seen the adult birds at the site before, but you can't really see it from the top of the opposite bank which is about 25ft high and very steep. I got right in to the bottom of the opposite bank in my canoe and pulled...
