The crazy things you find in the woods

[ValderOutdoors]

Up early and out the door by 8am. After a nice walk through the one side of the glen, I need to cross the river so walked along the dual carriageway and saw this.

Did a quick check to see if there was anyone inside, but instantly saw the police tape.

So continued on to the other side.

Nice little trail, with a view down to the river.

I found a nice spot, and set up the shelter and stove. Time for coffee and a bite to eat.

Then it was time to pack up, head home and most importantly leave no trace.

Never seen that car. Is that down by the expressway?
We went a walk (aka scramble/clamber) down past Fiddler's Falls and along to Castle Falls but tbh I can't be bothered video editing tonight. Maybe later after a few rums!
Here's one pic of us at the partially frozen Castle Falls. Daniel was too warm and took his jacket off!! lol

Hi Valders that's a great picture, I hope no one was hurt.
Your sausage, bacon and eggs look so yummy. Nice pictures once again of your time outdoors.

Hi Valders your outdoor posts have really impressed me and it's helped me purchase an ohuhu stove and a wooden cup like the ones in your pictures.
With my ohuhu stove what size pan should I purchase.
Any advice will be most helpful.

If you got the ohuhu that came with the grill plate then anything will fit. I use pots from 4"-7" as the ohuhu is pretty versatile.

That's a good looking scran Valder, good drills, and in cast iron, I struggle with fried eggs in them but apart from that cast iron is ace, if you've mastered fried eggs I'm all ears.

Just remember the camera adds 10 pounds and I had a couple of Kodaks for brekky, oh and a Canon, and a couple of polaroids....

I've got a cheap set on order, I'm assuming they're coming from China. Thought I'd give it a try too.

Nothing like hacking at a piece of wood.....sat by the fire...... to create a master piece
Like a bit of wood carving.....relaxing and passes the time nicely.

Being a left hander.....I have to be carful when ordering some the tools.

Any projects in mind guys?

I was looking at that one. I have a splitting axe, but it's a bit big for my bag.
