Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Hi Mandos, not a lot of use to you i know, possibly but unlikely, as it prefers altitude, lots of air moisture and (not dissing Norfolk!) But zero air pollution and interference, i sincerely hope somebody prooves me wrong.
But if you want i have one bag spare and are more than happy to send it to you.
Regards.
Ivan..
that would be awesome if you could pm me, such a shame can not find any natural fire lighting materials around in terms of fungi ect...
PM Sent, and when i get out and about again, i will source some others for you, message you and if you like put a little tinder package together for you.

Looks a great trip, I see Nutmeg's no daft and claimed the sleeping bag before you got a chance too. Did she relent? I'm dog sitting a poor Spaniel who's had to have his let pinned after falling out of bed poor lad. He's been cuddled up with me in front of the stove all afternoon.
Looks a lovely spot, I think we should title you Camp Finder General (not the Mr Grayson type!) as you always seem to pitch up at some great places.

Hi Colin, Nutmeg had to relent, as there was not enough room! Also it is one of the woods she never settles, too much fox, deer and badger activity, so she has a 4 point sentry duty!
I have worked hard to build up trust with farmers/landowners over the years, so i am lucky enough to have a great choice of venues, but most for very small numbers.
Very grateful, and so are some of my campmates.

Great write up there, really enjoyed it. I've never seen old mans beard like that before, incredible growth! And I thought I'd seen some serious growth!! :yikes:
Looks like a decent time was had by all! Thanks for sharing

nice pics. this thread inspired me to head out and try and find some.
i came home with too things, i duno if either are the right thing.
this picture looks like drugs, it's not.
is there a difference in the dark stuff i collected and the light stuff?? it was a damp/sleaty day so neither of them seemed to take a spark well, even when dried out a bit with my hands/clothes. though they are both by/on the radiator so i will try them again tomorrow.

It looks the same too me, just damper and more dense. See how it drys out, but do please update us, as i'm not certain at all.
yeah both lit up today seemingly equally as well as far as i could see. placed a bit of charcloth on top, then got blowing. i imagine i could have cut out the middleman and just used my firesteel and beard if i had the patients but i was in a hurry today.
