Happy days

This weekend has been great, I got until Sunday evening without leaving the woods and the only reason I left at all was because I had eaten all the food including all the emergency back up food hidden cunningly in a hollow tree in squirrel proof containers. A lot of the weekend was spent writing and hopefully I will write it up sometime soon and you'll be able to read it. Basically I really thoroughly enjoyed spending a bit of time in the woods without having to rush away. Also some fairly big things are happening in my life away from this whole wild living escapade and being in the woods really is the prefect location in which to be able to assess that which is important. If you have anything that requires a bit of serious thought going on I really would recommend ditching the phone and getting out into nature for a bit. This weekend has been the most fulfilling couple of days I can remember spending for a very long time and mostly all I did was sit about and eat, occasionally I lay down and listened to the radio.

One of the things that I thought that I should do, just to spice things up a little was throw the gates open to a little interaction, a gauntlet thrown down to the folks at BCUK, gimme a challenge guys - some form of camp craft or woodland skill you want me to learn; you know the kind of thing, light a fire by rubbing two boy scouts together; that sort of thing.

Back to the woods then, from the position here with the central heating on and the Doors blasing out on the stereo I'm inclined to see why people consider this project to be somewhat daft. On the other hand all that central heating does for me nowadays is make me feel ill. I'd be more cheerful about leaving if it wasn't raining.
