    Tracking Practice

    Looking forward to some tracking practice when the rain stops. Should be all nice and clean to show fresh tracks. I need them to be good to have a clue. 8-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bushmoot Car Sharing

    I'm lucky enough to be going for the Full Member maximum days at the Moot. This will be the longest I've been bushcrafting in one trip so really looking forward to it. Before I book the train, is anyone traveling by car from Leeds/West Yorkshire and wants to split the cost? One way or both...

    Coil Baskets from New Zealand Flax

    We have a mature New Zealand Flax plant in the garden which needed some pruning recently. This left us with a large number of long leaves which I sometimes twist into extremely strong cordage. I've been meaning to have a go at making a coil basket and so tried it out with the flax. I split...

    Predator and Prey

    I'm still sorting out my photos from a recent trip to California and thought I'd share these. We were stood talking in the campground and had to quickly duck backwards as the hawk flew between us. He had spotted a golden ground squirrel just behind where were standing. Fortunately the...

    Containers Made from Angelica

    Made these a while ago from various pieces of Angelica. The Coloured stuff was dried from fresh (thanks EdS) and the brown stuff was just naturally dried after the plants had died back. The tall one is about 8" high. I used various bits of cordage to whip the ends for extra...
