Walking off another Hangover !

[pitdog]

I don't blame the beers or even all the wine, I blame that double Southern comfort I had at the end of the night !

Anyway I figured some fresh air was in order ~

While walking I spotted some promising looking tinder fungus~

I've never really used this stuff much so figured I'd try it out. Two strikes of the ferro-rod and we had some smouldering fungus~

When you blow it the magic really happens~

I figured I'd try carrying it and when I came across some Cedar make a tinder bundle and try and light it. Turned out there were no Cedar in this area so just as the fungus became a small ember I grabbed some pine resin and tried to light that !

I got smoke but no fire !

I went back for some more fungus and tried again but this time using some Fatwood shavings~

Lot's of smoke again and some really hot embers but for some reason it wouldn't ignite the Fatwood...weird !

I always carry a whistle for using with the dogs and I always carry my Army SAK so recently I joined the two together, it really helps find the SAK when I place it on the ground~

This pic of Maisy came out blurry which is a shame because it would have been a good pic of my big old girl !

Amazing how fresh air makes you feel much better, I'm almost ready to party again now !

great pics! Thanks for sharing.

I had a real doozie of a "hangover" all night.

Not from alcohol, but a splitting, nauseating migraine. I had to take two doses of migraine medicine, which causes it's own issues.

I would have loved a woods walk today (no woods here).
