Good morning from the woods - it's really rather nice here sitting by the campfire, having a brew, and for a short while, just not doing much, students will arrive soon, but for now, there is calm and peaceful contemplation. Wishing you a lovely day 💚

Following on from rubbing sticks together in previous post and for those that are curious - these sticks are from the manketti tree in the Kalahari - gathered there whilst spending time with the San Bushmen, who still use these to make fire 💚 A little modification here, for attaching the drill tip to a straight stick of hazel. The dark stripes are from when drying / straightening the sticks over a fire - the bark was stripped and then wound around the stick, learnt by mirroring what a village elder was doing, a special time 💚

Simple pleasures, a little practice, and keeping it real. One of the fire lighting methods that is still used in tribal communities around the world - sadly less so, but forms part of skills that hunter gatherers needed to live their lives. It's not the easiest of skills master or even achieve an ember, from which to make fire, but there is, perhaps, a sense of connection to communities of the past for whom this was essential. But for now, I simply enjoy the simple satisfaction of making an ember by rubbing sticks together 💚

Simple pleasures - sitting in the woods by a campfire, the kettle simmering, awaiting friendly conversations, and a brew. Life in the woods is pretty good, it's peaceful, the sunshine poked through the clouds for a little while, a magpie is squawking, all is still, with just a gentle breeze. Wishing you a lovely day 💚
