Hi, today i went for a wander and thought that i would only take my knife,Kuksa and firesteel. As i had'nt took any water with me i intended to make a Birch bark container and try my hand at purifying water by rock boiling,well the Birch bark was'nt playing so i had to settle for using my Kuksa as a kettle. So i started a fire and put about 6 or 7 stones into the fire for about 30 to 45 mins to get hot,meanwhile i collected some water from a near by stream and some pine needles from a Scots pine. Ended up with a cup of tasty pine needle tea,just what the doctor ordered on a bitterly cold day.

Here the water is just coming to a simmer.

Now a full boil.
I was quite surprised by how little time it took to boil,and the amount of stones it took, only 3.
Anyway enough of my babbling's.
