Feather sticks
Tuesday 12th May 2020
Practiced bushcraft firelighting in the garden this evening - made "feather sticks" as a firelighting aid, and managed to start a little fire using just that and my tiny little ferro rod.

...and managed to get a flame from a spark from my tiny little ferro rod! I was very pleased... but then frustratingly only managed it this one time.

Some more of the Dunkertons cider which seemed like an appropriate accompaniment to my forays into back garden bushcraft.
