    Bushcraft in New Zealand

    I'm off to new zealand from the 17th Oct - 15th Nov and plan to go bush for a few days. I've been reading some of the doc.govt.nz but could do with someone with local knowledge. I'm hiring a car and driving from Auckland to Palmeston North and will be travelling down the SH1 through what...

    Failed again, but..

    I recently had a similar experience. I took a girl I like out into the woods for a bit of bushcraft the other day. It had been raining for days, no problem I thought, lots of birch trees around. Off I go, loooking in the branches for dry, dead tinder. Collect fatty birch bark, feather it...

    Wild Medicine/First Aid

    I have selected a few common plants that are pretty unique looking so you should be ok to learn them. They can all be found round and about UK woodlands. ONLY EVER USE PLANTS YOU HAVE POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED. Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) And infusion of the leaves or bark produce a laxative and...
