Ever made an improvised survival candle?
This one is made Bushcraft-style using Pine resin, Birch twigs, and a split stick. Give it a try next time you're out in the woods... but DO NOT let it drip onto your skin! It's nature's napalm!

Have ever tried to extract water from plants, during your survival training? This "Vegetation Bag" was a proof-of-concept experiment I carried out, with the folks on my recent 3-day Bushcraft course. It's a miniaturised version!

Ever mounted a flint arrow head using pine pitch? This is a #flint#arrowhead I #knapped a little while ago, which has patiently waited for a home. I'm using #pinepitch glue I had left over after sealing my #birchbarkcanoe model, which I made last summer.

Ever made one of these? It's just a simple improvised candle, using wax crayons. They're a great resource to carry in your kit. You can write with them, #waterproof match heads with them, they are great for #firelighting, & even as a #fuel.

An #improvised#sawhorse. If you're going to be processing lots of logs, it's worth your while to make one of these. This photo was taken during a recent #Bushcraft training course I ran on the @AlvieEstate with my buddies @backcountrysurv. Teamwork makes the dream work!

#Spruceroots can be used as the cord for a #bowdrill friction #firelighting set. This means that you could still produce fire if you had no cordage or cutting tool. As the other components of the set can be produced by using stone cutting tools, or by just abrasion on rocks 👍
Here's a photo of me introducing @_JackFowler_ to some of the wildfood, that can be responsibly foraged up in the #Highlands of #Scotland, during the #filming of Digital Detox with @peggypicturesuk and @moambbc, which was an amazing opportunity to be involved in. Top bloke!
