Wine Skin.

I don’t mind admitting that I enjoy a little drink when outdoor with  friends. It is that Spirit of the campfire that has been written about  by  so many outdoors men that is one of the reasons I enjoy going to meet ups organised by Bushcraft UK and the like.

Well I like a drop of wine when I'm out but don't fancy carrying glass  bottles about with me. Remember anything carried out needs to be brought back as well. Littering or old fashioned ideas like burying your  rubbish are just not an option in our modern world.

So this  is what I came up with a while back. It unlaces at the top right just  wide enough to slip a full 3 Litre bag from the inside of one of those  wine boxes you buy at the supermarket. The tap then pushes though the  notched ring.

It’s then hung on a handy tree or even a stick just poked into the ground.

Of course, It does not have to be a full bag if I’m carrying it any distance.

Ravenlore is a site promoting Bushcraft and Wilderness skills as a way of working, living and enjoying the wilderness with minimal impact on it’s resources. Bushcraft should be practised in a responsible manner with consideration for the environment and other people who seek to enjoy the outdoors.

Bushcraft skills complement many outdoor living pursuits such as walking, mountaineering, canoeing, hunting, fishing and in my case at least landscape photography. In fact I find the equipment suited to bushcraft often far exceeds the specification and usefulness of other high tech outdoor equipment.
