My daily bushcraft

[snowleopard]

Been horse riding with grandparents and siblings. Unfortunately I left my para cord behind, which ment that when all the horses started eating the grass, I couldn't make grass reins. Never again...

Thanks

the 2 lengths are going to a friend who's making bows...I have dibs on some for my projects, Sar-ian's getting a bit for some knife scales...the rest is going season in the gaffers garden...normally the rest of the timber we get from jobs goes for firewood...the yew is a different matter though

Took advantage of the sunshine this afternoon and walked around St Ives Bay, starting at the island, St Ives ending at Godrevy Point, then circling back to Hayle for a pasty and a pint while I waited for the bus home. Had a couple of brews along the way, recce'ed one potential sneaky camping spot and managed to misidentify a couple of wild edibles


Around 16 miles all in and the knee held up fine. All good

Envious... I wish I had a good bit of yew!

Other woods don't seem to work, and after the old hazel bow snapped, I have nothing to shoot with
