Week March 16-20 Personal Challenge
See the Challenge for the Training Primer. The execution followed the primer pretty well.
Where I set up the shelter it was on partially frozen ground. Much better than a week ago. The piece of wood that I selected was too much for knife alone. Well at least for me. Two hatchets came out of dry storage for the event. I split the piece of well seasoned birch cord wood from my cold storage. I don’t think the wood was frozen. After splitting it down, I made chips with the Council Tool carving hatchet and also with the Fiskars hatchet. I carved some curls with the Migizi Bushcraft / Survival Knife. The Migizi Wanderer Stove was kindled with birch bark and curlers, lit with one windproof match. The stove really liked the curls as compared with the chips, although as coals developed the chips burned pretty well. It took from 2:50 to 3:09 PM to boil water. Now my experience with a trig stove is limited to this and one prior kindle.
Observations: Really look at the one stick before you start and make sure you are carrying the appropriate tools, carve twice as many curls as tinder / small kindling as they burn much better than chips, remember that the small stove still needs air just like any other fire. Dah. My goodness this is fun.
