I threw this together from scraps in the garage

Eugene,is that PVC?

Yep. A left over piece and some wood in the garage and we now have an arrow stand like at the cub scout camp.

Thats kinda neat. Beats jabbing all the arrows into the dirt like I have been doing.

How about putting some (more) lists together (if you haven't already):

Lists of edible plants in your area (include internet photos, preparation details and seasons)
- This is a very big job !

Trips you would like to do (or re-do)
- Day trips
- Weekend
- Longer trips
- on water
- in the snow
- on foot
- etc

Who would you like to invite on those trips

A list of outdoor BC projects – I’m sure you will find lots while you’re stuck indoors !

Wood carving projects are good :
- I’ve carved a few owls and mushrooms lately
- A walking stick / staff

You mentioned knife sharpening, this is really good, ditto axe

Cordage making from natural fibres
- Search for “Reverse Twist”

Well done,wife loves it!

Practice, practice, practice!

It's the first day of March Break. it's cold outside for the baby and the 9 yo just came down with the chicken pox. So.... we're making char cloth on the stove. Our second attempt is cooling now.

Lessons so far:

1. It'll make the house stink a bit even with the extractor fan on.

2. Use 100% cotton, not a 60/40 cotton poly blend. That stuff melts.

3. The hinge holes on an Altoids tin can be big enough to not only let smoke vent, but let in enough oxygen to cause the cotton to burn rather than char.
