Log splitting - there's a chill in the air, time t Log splitting - there's a chill in the air, time to get the wood stack built up for those cooler months. Birch logs cut months ago, now being split into manageable pieces, thin bits to get the fire going, medium to burn brightly, and chunky bits to sustain the campfire. Split using my favourite axes - @gransforsbruk splitting maul, that's the big axe, and their small forest axe, for chopping up the logs into smaller pieces once they are a little more manageable! #woodlandmanagement #firewood #logsplitting #axe #gransforsbruks #forestaxe #chilterns #birchlogs #logsplitter #logstore #logstack
Pickup Truck Time - I really like this @isuzuuk D- Pickup Truck Time - I really like this @isuzuuk D-Max, I've had this fab truck for three years, and it's comfy, brilliant when the tracks get sloshy and muddy, helped with the awesome @bfgoodricheurope tyres, it has heeps of space for huge amounts of gear and supplies, and it takes me down my favourite tracks into the woods on a daily basis. Oh yes and reliable too, just had a new battery, original had done 8 years, other than that just servicing by @oliverlandpower and that's it - it's a cool truck 😊 #woodlandmanagement #4x4trucks #isuzudmax #lifeinthewoods #bushcraftcourses #chilterns #excellentservice #4x4tyres

Good morning from the woods - yes it's a little ch Good morning from the woods - yes it's a little chilly this morning, there's a cool northerly breeze, it's fanning the campfire nicely, so I'll be having a brew soon. Today's students are from the local special educational needs school - fab teenagers that prefer learning outside the classroom. The sun is breaking through, it's going to be a lovely day - wishing you well.
Campfire bread baking - whilst it's fab to bake br Campfire bread baking - whilst it's fab to bake bread in a nice Dutch oven, there's something quite special about the simplicity of baking bread on a stick. These were rather tasty too, from mixing up some yeast, making and kneading the dough, to proving and baking over the campfire 🙂 These photos are of bread we baked with a home-ed group, young children with mums and dads enjoying time in the woods - a lovely day. #campfirebreadbaking #freshbread #baking #campfire #lifeinthewoods #homeeducation #familybushcraft #natureconnection #lotc #learningoutsidetheclassroom #bushcraftexperience #naturesrythm #freshlybakedbread #chilterns
