Today is the First time I, got my hands on a decent Sized Utensil drainer for a new Hobo stove set up i'm making. Jeez these things are hard to source round here.

The thing is SWMBO saw it and "assumed" i'd bought it for the kitchen.

Plus the Grumpy Teenager also wants it so that he can make his first hobo stove.

MINE.........

First fire by firesteel, used birch bark. Also first awkward explanation of reason for peeling the bark off birch trees.

Worked with Eucolyptus wood,.....

i love to prepare a piece of wood and hit it up with some oil ,..this was a eucolyptus burr , and looked pretty unspectacular ,,

to be honest a bit like MDF!!!!! hahaha

i put a bit of scrap on the belt sander and then oiled it up,......wow!!!!

it popped out like marble!,..very impresssed, but it was a gift and i cant see where to buy more,...

it may have been a phantom fragrance too , but i swore i could smell the menthol sweet smell creeping thru the mask,.....

Today for the first time.
I walked a new broadleaved woodland where I have sole permission to wild camp and light fires.

 

[Realbark]

Today for the first time i set myself on fire during lighting a meths stove. Must have got it on my gloves. All ok tho fortunately. Was weird tho - normally i use a steel, today i used my zippo cos i was in a rush.

Today was the first time I lit a fire on the first attempt. I'm just loving crampball fungi!

Took my time sourcing tinder and popped it into my pocket to dry out. Made more than enough kindling and it all went smooth even though it was quite damp in the wood.

I made my first wood gas stove today....... looking forward to trying it out, which will be another first

 

[harrisp]

Today, the first time Ive started looking for materials to make my first knife...where's that file gone

 

[Archy]

today was the first time i lit a fire using a flint and steel and my home made charcloth and birch bark and i also taught two of my friends how to do it too and swmbo cooked lunch too mmm great day in the woods

 

[Totumpole]

Today (or rather 2 days ago to be honest) was the first time I foraged some wild fungi. Being someone who despises mushrooms Ive never got into getting to know what is safe to eat, but on coming across what were unmistakably Jews Ears I though I'd give it a go. Despite the pungent mushroom aroma on stewing them they actually didn't taste that bad.

today was the first time i nearly embedded a tomahawk into my precious toes! was chopping some wood for the stove. blade boucnce off a nail! very strange incident indeed.
