Small walk

[beenn]

Went for a little walk today as i had some fruit that was going off so i took it down to the horses..

Also wanted to take some pictures of my day kit for my blog

Walked around 2 miles to some horses on the taff trail..

I took out the 10 liter highlander rucksack that i bought for £15- great pack for day trips

Here's the kit i took:

Regatta fleece
Bahco laplander
Mora clipper
FAK
Brew kit
Fire kit
SS Nalgene
pot grip, spoon and swedish army folding mug

and out of the pouches...

Had a go using the traditional firesteel...

As soon as the feather stick caught i put it out as i wanted to head back
Also found it very hard to blow the birch polypore into flame.. are there any better tinders or advice?

All in all a nice little walk

NIce mate, like your blog too.

Cut your feather sticks on the corners they'll be more feathery

I normally take the bark off and square the edge and feather that part
