Walk of the week.

I have set us as a family a task of going for a weekly walk in a variety of naturely settings, be it woodland, seaside, heathland, hills etc.

During this weekly outing we will be learning about the area or reserves we visit and gaining knowledge about the wildlife and the adaptations of the plant life, trees and whatever else we can find.

So now I will be hoping to add a weekly blog about our walks and adventures together. 

I'm very excited about the prospect of spending quality time with my family and the rest is just a big fat bonus, happy days :)
 

(The aim of the game is to gain more knowledge about the wildlife, flora and fauna in the areas we visit. Also my children, if they become interested will learn about why these areas are important and why we need to look after them. )

My Mora Companion.

 

I thought I'd share a couple of pictures and an explanation for my chosen carving knife.

Here it is..

It is a stainless steel Mora Companion knife with the luminous orange colour so just in case I drop it in the woods, I can find it quite easily. With this knife, there are a selection of colours available.

I have chosen this knife because it is great for game preparation, splitting and carving.

I have also chosen this knife because i got to borrow one for a weekend while learning Bush craft skills with the great team of instructors from Woodland Ways.

A key bonus with this knife is that it is very cost effective indeed at under £20 with post and packing from a number of retailers.
