Day out in the woods

Just thought I would share with you a nice day out in the woods.

First job of the day- getting a fire going. For this i just used a cotton wool ball and some birch bark.

Prepared some dry standing wood in size order to the right length.

One strike with a fire steel and it was lit, actually surprised me as it has drizzled a little around 20 minutes before.

Then got the hammock and tarp set up for a relaxing day and if it rained again there would be no rush.

Got some water on to boil for a brew.

Also took the Gransfors Bruks Wildlife Hatchet along as I was going to a new site that I had only walked through before and there was a lot of wood fallen and stuck in trees and wanted to use the new beauty! 

Got a little hungry so tried the Mug Shot noodles, quite nice but I did not leave them stand for long enough.

Quick tip, after washing mugs out if you have a spare carabiner hang them from your ridge line so when you pack up they are dry and you do not forget about them! 

Also found a nice Flat peice of wood(Mora clipper for scale). Should come in handy as a surface for food prep. Also found a nice little chopping block for next time.

Thanks for looking and hope you enjoy!
