Today is the first time i've been asked to run a wild food course
Impressed one of the tutors at BTCV when i went on a forage on my lunch (for extra's) and came back with a fair amount of edibles.
got till september to sort it out (good month for wilds too) its an intro to wilds so i'll be doing easily recognisable stuff and how to check and double check plants/mushrooms for ID.

Today was the first time I found some 'True Tinder Fungus' (Inonotus obliquus) and once dried used it to take a spark. No beating or boiling in wood ash required.

Today was the first time I made a log cabin style shelter. Well, started it anyway. Got the back wall sorted using split logs and wooden pegs, all fashioned on site. Just got the sides to do and a roof. Keeping it open fronted so I can enjoy the fire and view.
