Good Morning All,
I'm going for a little bimble this weekend as I have not been out for quite a while.
The general plan is to walk from mine to the in-laws (50km) and sharpen up a few skills.
My aim is to set up camp while it is still light (I usually set-up after dark and set off before dawn) and carry out the following:
Build a wind shield for a fire.
Set a fire without lighter / matches (I'm making some char cloth tonight and will be using a lexada fire box type affair)
Maintain a small fire for at least 1 hour.
Gather a maya stick (There is some dead pine around).
I plan this year to carry out small focused trips to sharpen skills rather than try everything at once.
Does anyone have any tips or tricks for what I plan or general advice?
Kind regards,
Ollie
