Bushcraft on the Island

Dreadful weather in the mountains, sent us hiding out down be the Menai Straits today. There was a big spring tide which created a few little islands along the shore, but conditions were much calmer and (generally) drier there.


We were running a bush craft session, lighting fires, whittling sticks and cooking some camp pizzas. As usual, everyone was keen to get a bit of action with the axe!


While the pizza was cooking, I used the 'Kelly Kettle' to get a brew on. The Kelly Kettle is a really cool little device - it's a cylinder kettle, that you light a fire inside of. You only need a tiny fire in it and the water boils really quickly.
