I recently got a chance to spend some time up North, and I thought it would be a good opportunity to test out some winter clothing, as well as my ability to make a fire in extreme cold conditions.
Continuing on the theme of my last post, here's another Fall trip we took in Northeastern Minnesota. This was in the Superior National Forest, in early October of last year.
The cattail is one of the most easily identifiable and recognized plants in North America, and also one of the most useful. Growing throughout the entire state of Minnesota, they are always easy to locate, usually forming dense growths around lake shores, ponds, and swampy areas. Let's take a look at some of the ways we can utilize this plant in the field.
Normally, when I think of budget friendly knives, I'm thinking of my Mora Companion ($15), or my KA-BAR Dozier ($20). Both of these are great choices for beginning bushcrafters, but what if you want to go even cheaper?

One of the few things I like about Facebook is that every now and then it reminds me of what I was doing a year or two ago on the present day. Before I had the blog, I still documented my trips as photo-journals.

While we're in the middle of another long Minnesota winter, I thought I'd post some pictures from a trip this last Fall. The colors in October can be quite breathtaking, and I thought this would be a nice reminder of some of the many reasons why we love living here.
Here are a few pictures of the different kinds of berries and fruits I was able find throughout the summer. Most of these were in the Twin Cities area, but can also be found in much of the Midwest and Eastern U.S.

I like to supplement my meals with foraged edibles as often as I can. The flavor and nutrition far surpasses anything you can get in stores. Here's a simple scrambled eggs and dandelion fritter breakfast that I like to make every spring when the wild ingredients become available.
If you couldn't tell already, I REALLY like mushroom hunting. This latest hunt was at my local spot, only a few blocks from my home. The weather has been perfect, with lots of rain following a period of warmth. I was expecting to find a lot of Morels..
Recently some friends and I took a trip south of the Cities do do a little mushroom hunting. Here are a few pictures from our trip.
