Easy things to make!

[fhaggis]

Hi all

new member but been looking at the forum for a while.

can anyone help? basically what i'm looking for is things to make when out and about in the woods, already made whistles, (tried) to make a waterproof birch jar, next up is some carving my own spoon and i'm letting some nettles in my garden grow to make cordage.

hope this make sense and i ain't looking for anything to fancy!

cheers in advance

That birch bark basket on Jons website looks like a nice starter for me. Although I will probably use cat tail leaves as they are more abundant than good birch bark where I am....
