Starting a Fire with a Ferro rod (aka flintstick or Firesteel)

This is the process I go through when starting a fire with my firesteel and birch bark.
In the areas I travel birch is generally easy to come by and it makes for great tinder. There are other things you can use such as mashed up dry grass, fluffed up cedar bark, etc… but when I can find it I always grab the birch. Though please be kind and don’t take it from living trees. If you find a standing birch you should be able to find enough bark on the ground to serve your purpose.

Bannock Grilled Cheese Sandwich in the Backcountry

Here’s a great meal I stumbled across when eying up the food I packed for a trip in the Algonquin Provincial Park interior. Not sure how appealing it looks if you haven’t had it before but after a week in the woods this tasty morsel gets me drooling more than my dog Maddy. Well, maybe not that much, she brings some stiff competition to the table in that department but damn it’s delicious!

Moose Strolls Through my Campsite

While on a trip in Algonquin Provincial Park I had the distinct pleasure of witnessing a moose take a leisurely stroll through my campsite on the Nipissing River. A moment I will not soon forget.
