Yesterday i managed to get out after work whilst the sun was still high in the sky, i have been really into bushcraft from a young age however it has took a bit of a back seat during my teenage years (I'm now 18) As i live in a housing estate there isn't really many places to practice this art however i found myself a tucked away piece of land and, with the landowners permission i can crack on with whatever i like really.

Firewood all prepped and collected

Fire build big and high so as to give me a good bed of embers.

A few pine knots which where taken from a dead standing tree, these make an excellent source of light and they burn hot and bright. Sort of natures version of a candle!

I suppose its a hard life

Time for a brew, trusty crusader mug has never let me down in its 6 year career.
Time for a bit of camp fire baking

A camp fire staple, bannock with some dark chocolate chips

Small however this was a lone trip so it was more than sufficient.

Nature provided me with a great substitute to a scouring pad... Pine needles

Reaping the benefit of my efforts

A quick panoramic view of my site, as you can see the estate over the left. (Middlesbrough has a lack of Barron wilderness areas )

On my way out i noticed some wild bramble bushes, really wish i had realised and foraged some to include in the bannock.

Hope you like the photos! I plan on getting out a lot more and hopefully documenting a few more trips
