new tarp/new set up

messing about with my new tarp today...ive hit on a theory that the roe deer dont feed every day,some days there are alot of slots and signs,other times there are none,i believe they feed alot then lie up for a few days...this is probarly to help them not get detected by the numerous dog walkers etc..is there a pattern in the moon tide etc?,next question........................

possibility filter

in todays times i see so much rubbish lying around some things i see i wonder how it gets there,my wierdiest being a bath in the middle of nowhere..but rubbish can be usefu so i salvaged bits and pieces and came up with a water filter,it works very well,even the charcoal i found in an old campfire,..

ive been toying with pouches to use as a possible pouch,ive been using one but its not that strong nor that rigid..so im using my old buckskin pouch again,its not massive and will hold the things i use out there,(not a survival pouch) i dont need one...its contants are as follows...firesteel,char cloth, flint,piriton,paracetamols,salve,hand fishing line with large hooks,and smaller hooks with trace,a piece of polypore birch tinder that i can cut up for plasters,and a tampon if i get a nasty cut..

burl,and other things

see my first swallow yesterday,its strange how the insects haveall come to life on the same day,the woods and fields were teaming with them,..
saw a peacock butterfly,speckled woods,and an orange tip..
i been working on a new bowl..this is an ash burl bowl,

a rainy day

some time spent at my camp site.

barbour jacket

having picked up a barbour in a charity shop for 6 pounds i decided to alter it to suit my woodland needs..i dislike long coats ,so ive cut along the middle seam and cut off the arms,now i can have a good breathable waterproofed layer..my other jacket simaliar to this wasnt breathable and used to get very hot...

birch container 2..

i made a larger container,ive shown a small survival kit inside of it...but i think i may use it for green tea....birches properties of food storage is good..
