Natural Navigation 🧭 Sharing a wee resource with you all this morning on natural navigation; in particular, using the sun to find directions. Having the ability to find out the cardinal points when outdoors is very beneficial and this is just 1 way of using natural navigation. I may turn this into a series 🤔. Place a stick in the ground and watch a shadow appear. Place a rock at the tip of this shadow and it will be the approximate West. Wait 10-15 mins and place a rock at the tip of the shadow, which should now have moved - this is East. We now have our West - East line. To find North, stand with your left foot at West and right foot at East and you'll be facing North. Handy trick 👍🏼

Good Morning folks, Adding to the resource drops today a small intro to Wild Edibles resource. This is very much a basic resource and should be paired with common sense, further reading and identification books / resources. I found when starting out in foraging, that choosing 3 common edibles was the best way to go. I studied each of the three things I chose and then would head out on walks -- locations where these may be found and got to work searching, drawing, really familiarising myself with each so that I knew undoubtedly what I had found. Anyways, have a wee look if interested and then head out into the field 📖 But first --> please read the disclaimer. 😎👇🏼 ⚠️Disclaimer: •Foraging carries inherent risks. •Plant identification must be confirmed with absolute certainty before consumption. •Resources shared here are for educational guidance only and Recalibrate Outdoors accepts no responsibility for injury, illness, allergic reaction or loss resulting from the use or misuse of this information. •Participants are responsible for their own safety, foraging within the law, and seeking expert confirmation where necessary.

Hi Team, I'm sharing with you today, a simple fillable card which you can leave with your emergency contact prior to heading out on your adventures. This is a basic version - it focuses on some specific details which could support YOU in an emergency when outdoors. Check it out and try it out 👍

Team, it's evening here, what time is it where you are? Sharing a 'good read' this evening, this one kinda started me off on my bushcrafting journey (aside from watching many a Ray Mears TV shows back in the day). Dave Canterbury's Bushcraft 101 is a solid resource, full of good illustrations and tips n tricks for those bushcraft type tasks in the wild / woodland. Definitely recommend a wee look at this one. Anyone got any other good reads? Step Outside, to reset Inside ~Lisa

Stand up Paddleboarding! Ever done it? Resource drop 6 offers an insight into what to take on a SUP expedition (multi-day trip). However, If you're just heading out for an afternoon or 1 day, then it's still useful to check off the items! This list can always be amended to support others paddle craft as well. Hope it's useful 👍
