The idea of getting some natural tinder burning using only one hand was still on my mind so today I headed out to re-visit the task !
Man was it ever cold today, a crisp frost carpeted the forest and crunched under my every step !
Maisy demonstrated her bushcraft skills and showed me how to remove a section of Cedar bark as the natives did long ago......
Eventually I arrived at my rest spot and set up to try my one handed fire lighting once again, it's often handy having an extended tang for splitting fatwood such as this....
This time I had success...thank the lord for that, now I can sleep again !
Feeling confident I decided to see just how small a knife you could do this with......
A little tougher this time, I know I look very clumsy but please remember it is below zero and I'm trying to film with my other hand !
Some days things just go your way eh !
Ok now onto important matters,the dogs needed their treats...
For some dogs there are never enough !
Driving back I noticed that even the Tiny terror seemed to be worn out !!!!!
