Hunting and fishing

Spring is just around the corner, which means that soon lovers of hiking trips will begin to prepare their gear for travel. However, some lovers of this type of outdoor activities do not stop even in winter - I know for myself ... With me, at what time of the year I would not go out into the forest, there is always an EDC kit, even if I go light and do not take my backpack.

How favorably the ferrocerium flint differs against the background of other means of producing fire, many articles have already been written and videos have been shot. To get a fire in extreme conditions, even in wet weather, with at least some desire, can be quite easy. There are many ways. Starting from a home-made lens from a bottle, or a light prism from the bottom of an aluminum can, and ending with the cutting of a spark, by hitting a knife with a sharp stone on the butt.

Going on a hike or on a long fishing trip overnight for several days, you need to prepare for bad weather and protect the matches from getting wet. Of course, you can store them in special airtight boxes, but plastic containers are bifurcated in a backpack. I suggest a simple way to make the matches themselves waterproof and light them even after swimming in the river.

Flinty - a pretty interesting thing. In stores specializing in this kind of goods, of which only shapes, sizes and types they are not. Do not list everything.

It is a pity to tears, being in the woods among the trees, not being able to make a fire, especially if a cold and hungry night awaits you ahead. Growing trees have high humidity and in order for them to catch fire, a rather significant initial thermal energy is required. And where to get it if there is no dead wood or at least dry grass nearby?

Going fishing or camping, there is a need to cook hot food in nature. Usually, a large pot suspended above a fire or a tourist gas burner is used for this. In the first case, you need to collect a lot of firewood, and in the second, carry overall equipment with you. An alternative between these popular methods is the use of a homemade compact folding stove, which is laid with thin running branches.

Resting in nature in tents or using a cramped caravan, one can only dream of a hot soul. Tourists usually use a suspended container of water, which is heated under the sun, but it is warm only after lunch and until the evening. An excellent solution to the problem of the lack of hot water in the campaign is the use of a home-made shower based on a propane flow heater and a pump.

This year I was lucky to spend part of my spring vacation on a forest river. Going fishing with tents with a group of friends is a special kind of pleasure. Our camp was not permanent; during the week-long journey we changed three parking places. Ultralight fishing in the forest river-twisting is the topic of a separate story.

The secrecy of the fire is provided not only by the technology of its breeding, but by the correct choice of time and specific place. It is better to kindle in the early morning with fog or in the late evening, skillfully use the features of the terrain. Choose secluded places, slopes, lowlands, ravines, etc. What you need to cook. To make a bonfire, you must have a large knife or sapper shovel, matches or a lighter.

Tourists and travelers, fishermen and hunters often stay in the forest at night, it’s dangerous and uncomfortable to spend the night without a bonfire. But how to maintain its long burning, and to rest yourself? There is an original solution, though it will take a little work to implement it. Tools You will need a saw, an ax and a desire to complete a task.

Camping is often accompanied by the preparation of barbecue. When the pork and chicken are fed up, start the fish. A resident of water bodies is very susceptible to roasting on fire and the composition of the marinade. In these moments, you need to be careful not to overdo it with the ingredients and cook on the almost burnt firewood.

This is a fully-fledged miniature solar power station. The thing is extremely useful in the conditions of a hike, outdoor recreation and everywhere where there is no electricity and there is sunlight. With it, you can pump up an air mattress or a boat, take a shower or wash a car, charge any gadgets and devices, connect lighting.

If you cook potatoes, put mushrooms on a plate, cut the onion and pour it all with vegetable oil or village sour cream, then it’s hard to come up with the best snack. In stores, salty muffins are very rare, they cost very decent money. Not always, industrially prepared mushrooms have a good taste, more often they are saline.

Tourists have situations when there are problems with food. If there is a pond nearby, then the problem can be solved even in the absence of fishing rods. What will be needed for the trap The device is made of a five-liter plastic bottle and a rope 4-5 meters long. The capacity is cut with an ordinary knife. Manufacturing technology Cut the top cone from the bottle.

During a boat melt, water gradually fills it; it is not always possible to drain the bottom with a rag by design features. On sale there are special devices for such purposes, but they are quite expensive. There is an easy way to make a manual pump, it only takes 150-200 rubles and 1-2 hours.

Man is a creature that simply cannot live without rest and entertainment. Without them, he becomes physically ill. But everyone likes to relax in different ways.

We all love spring, summer ... the time when you can go out of town on a picnic with family and friends. But what a picnic without barbecue? Not always in the place where you arrive, there is material for the construction of a stand for skewers, barbecue. Therefore, I decided to make a small, compact folding barbecue.
