I have also recently taken a liking to "Flammulina velutipes" and "wayside nibble".

Pretty much all of the bushcraft words are intriguing - I also like 'bed roll' - and 'bimble'
is excellent.

When I was at Woodsmoke recently one of the guys, Dave, was going to chuck away
a tiny spoon he'd made because he considered it "spoondling" and not a real spoon,
but he let me keep it. It's a neat little thing and 'spoondling' could be applied to all
the bits left over after making a spoon as well!

P.S. Thanks hedgepig

I like bushcraftyness, used in a phrase:-

"are we off out for a bit of bushcraftyness this weekend"....

Must agree on that one, sussuration is my favourite word in general.

'Galavant' for me. To my mind it conjures a sense of traveling for the sake of the journey rather than the destination, of adventure, escape and freedom.
