Since starting a bushcraft school, two years ago I have found there are some common questions that I am always asked; I saw this on the TV what do you think ? Could you easily survive off the land? Doesn’t that taste awful? But the one question I hadn’t anticipated that gets asked of me on pretty much every course was about my knife.
I always keep to hand a basic green handled frosts 740 knife. It’s always done me good when I needed it and I’ve never bothered to think much more about it. However in the modern day marketing frenzy my clients always seem a little disappointed with my choice of sub tenner tool.
My argument had been it does everything I ask of it and its cheap and reliable. What more could I want? Well given the chance to try out the new Knife on the (forgive the pun) chopping block, I thought it would be a great opportunity to put my theories to the test.
Noticed on this mornings walk that there is a second coming of Hedge Garlic AKA Jack By The Hedge or garlic mustard. One of the three garlics that we have to use over here. As with the other two (Ramsons and three cornered leek) it has a very subtle flavour that doesn't stand up well to much cooking.
Not a full guide to the plant That is still in the making, however out today and picked a handful of these to top up my jar at home. And please be sure to note the warning at the bottom of the full blog.
