Hunter gathering: Simon J blog

Hi and thanks for landing here. It might seem a bit backward, but I decided to start blogging only because I've been enjoying Twitter so much. While I love the 140 character limit of tweets, I realised that a blog would give me a place where I could have the luxury of saying a bit more. I've also set up here because I have a blogging project in mind... but more on that later.

Right now my face is stuck in the following books...

Hunter gathering

Posted on 18 August 2010, 1:23

OK, more gathering than hunting, but I’ve been coming home from walking the dog the past few nights with armfuls of eucalyptus bark. One of the trees I pass each evening is shedding like crazy at the moment.

The penny dropped a couple of years ago that eucalyptus bark is the perfect fire starter for a winter hearth. It’s full of flammable gum and just roars away once it’s hot enough, turning even the most stubborn fire into an aromatic inferno.
