After signing up for this forum i have had even more of an urge to get myself out and about.
So since the weather looked quite good this morning i texted a fellow scout leader to see if he wanted to go and check out our camp site and try out a few of our new projects.
so off we went
once on the site we were a bit suprised by the amount of snow around :wow1:
we also noticed some nice fungi's could some please id it for us
After a investigation of the site to find it nice and white but more importantly undamaged we went into the forest for lunch and to test our newest project
NEWSPAPER BRICKS
the idea of these is wet newspaper squashed together in a press to make a tinder
The Area Before we started
to my surprise it caught very well and could be seen burning in the fire for a good 2hours. here are some of the pictures in action
from half of the brick we went onto build a fire to cook our lunch on with and i took time to take some pictures of my kit that i took out for the day
KIT
Fire Pictures
On The Fire we made some lovely chicken curry and tomato soup
so all in all a very nice wee day out, and thanks alot for the inspiration guys :You_Rock_
