Wooden Mushrooms In The Forest!

[gordi]

Well, today has seen the Big fella re-visiting the wooden mushroom release site once more...


First order of the day....
Lunch!

So, out comes the wee "solo stove" which BigG sparks up FIRST TIME with his fire-steel sending a spark onto a petroleum jelly infused cotton wool ball. What a great fire lighter that combo is!



The Solo Stove is a very clever little one-piece solid fuel stove which uses twigs or solid fuel pellets, or in this case kiln-dried kindling which I'd prepared this morning.
3 minutes after sparking up and I am enjoying a big mug of Beef Broth, with a nice hot coffee to follow.



And, of course, no trip into these woods would be complete without carving and releasing another wooden mushroom into the wild!



The mushrooms are definitely still "going missing" (2 of my last 3 have gone) and I even found one which had been "nibbled"!!!!
They must look more real than I thought!!!! (What wood-dwelling creatures (apart from BIAD) eats raw mushrooms?)

I must say, what a BRILLIANT way to spend my Saturday afternoon!
Now totally relaxed, and feeling re-charged.

Nature is a wonderful thing.
