A brilliant and inspiring first session of the introductory BJJ course at Itaipava in Newcastle. I'm in there somewhere in a borrowed black Gi and a shiny heed. At age 55 I still get a huge thrill from Martial Arts.
Field testing my new homemade hobo stove. This is a great bit of kit. Its best with the opening facing a breeze so the fire can be fed with oxygen. It was relatively easy to light with the Tinder sticks, or 'Maya' sticks. When feathered these light quickly and burn with a fierce flame. I took along my own wood to get the fire going but used birch bark and local twigs as tinder.
