once the fire was going it was time to make lunch,, I mised some water into the bannock mix I prepped at home, and spreadit out on a flat rock.. While that cooked I put up some pine needle tea

unfortunately I couldn;t find any decent sparking rocks where I was, so I tested it with a ferro.. (worked great) I'll try it with real flint now that I;m home next chance I get.
all in all not a bad way to spend a Weds.

almost forgot the obligatory blade shot.

he's looking for his missing spork and cup handles i bet. with all the knives, axe, and fire, if that's all the mishap that happened on our overnighter, it's obvious i need to bring far more booze next time :p
 
Great post John, looks like you had fun. I see spring still hasn't reached your area yet. I thinks it's good to practice with a Mora...if you can make it with one of those you can make it with pretty much anything :)
