My buddy keeps on about me and him going on the Mantracker show, the idea appeals to me but I get sidetracked too easy.Mantracker would end up finding me 50 yards from the flare site checking out some Raccoon tracks or Bear scat !!! That's what happened to me today when I planned on going for a quick walk !!!
This was where Maisy and me started off.....
When we eventually arrived here I decided to practice my fire making.
Off I went in the search of some Fat wood, but I soon came across some Otter tracks that caught my attention, they are not the greatest tracks but I like the fact that where they stop you can see the remains of a crab it had eaten !
With some Fatwood gathered I set up to light my fire....
It took me quite a few strikes, that's why it's good to practice, cotton balls light straight away but with natural materials you sometimes have to work a bit harder at it !
These were my tools, obviously I needed a great honking survival knife so here it is in all it's glory !
Making the fire I managed to scrape my finger so decided to look for some Snowberries as the juice acts as a natural Polysporin....
Then I realized just how much time I'd taken, better head back quick !!!!
Just as I'm making good time I come across this striking spider and find myself absorbed watching him for some time....oh well, that's what I mean about me !!!!!
