Yay I won! lol

(sorry to the runner up but this one is too gimmicky and awesome to pass on)

I'll offer up something later today as I've been up since yesterday afternoon.. and I need to charge my crummy camera.

Thanks a bunch.

From me, some primitive fire lighting ingredients.



A few iron rich stone lumps and some decent flint to go with them for a real primitive fire lighting kit. (Not for the cheaters with their fancy space age ferro rod things or chunks of hardened steel!) Also a tobacco tin to keep them in.

And two lighters for 'spairs or repair' by 'Polo' and 'Colibri'. I'm no good at fiddly stuff but I'm sure an able handed person can get these up and running.

Me please.

Definitely interested in the flint and stone fire lighting kit. Never started a fire with flint before.

Groovy. PM sent.


As for my item, I have to offer a copy of "the thrifty forager". Nearly 200 pages of foraging info and ideas

You are missing out on good books if you spurn the Hoeg or Roberts...Only getting rid of them due to space issues

Ive seen the film tengu,

[Tengu]

I havent and do not care.

Story cannot decide whether it is a murder mystery, sf, cultural, or just the author being clever. (Bt like Smilla herself, who is a red herring and herself.)

But its clever and well written.
