I think it is just as important to remember the memory in bushcraft, Observation is part and parcel of remembering where you saw that little birch for tinder....
So heres an urban style comparison
When was the last time you saw?
A pair of red DM's.
A shiny silver zippo being used.
A bit of quartz.
Old and thrown away tarp, that could help a shelter.
A male wearing shorts.
A yellow leather accessory carried by a female.
Broken plate glass.
A tyre or inner tube.
A discarded or lost pair of gloves.
A cd, not in a house.
Discarded copper wire or similar.
An abondoned fridge.
Steel cable, discarded.
Lavendar flowers. In a garden.
Aloe vera in someones window display.
Fox track on street.
A bow hung up in someones back wall, from the bus.
A knife carried by someone, hidden.
A person walking down the street eating a tomatoe.
Skirting board scraps.
Bycycle spokes on the street.
Jerky sold in shop.
Kid carrying a screwdriver with obvious negative intentions, would you recognise him again?
Signs of someone taking drugs in a pub.
These are completely random, and in some cases made up. But I hope you get the idea that I am trying to convey.
I hope thats enough to get you started.
