Pre post – im drafting a few paragraphs of how I feel when I forge. Jim, has taken lots of pics that I plan to post here also. So by me committing to drafting this post – I’ll follow though because I keep my word.
So I’m the type of girl (yes girl) who lives in flip flops. So the most difficult transition for me was to switch from flip flops to hiker boots. Well, between you and me, I prefer flip flops. However, as George says “safety first.” So once I learned how to actually walk in my hiking boots – after a few falls and twist – I can say I have converted. Don’t get me wrong – I grab my flip flops first but when I forge, hiking boots become my best friend. So the advice I can share is cuteness important, however safety comes first. Oh my, I sound like George!!!oh no.
Another rule I practice is – always forge with someone or let your BBF know where you are going and when you are coming back. Believe me it cuts back from the drama for sure.
Of course, I needed a forging bag. So I elected to buy one that serves as a backpack also and is cute. Sorry, I’m a Tomboy but a girlie girl at heart. Brought from smile.amazon.com and pics from their site.
Now where do I decide to go…talk with a few foragers and went on their advice.
I’m always on the look out for poison ivy, poison oak or bees in ground – ALWAYS. Plus, I carry a horn to scare bears off.
Ok I’ll will continue in a bit….peace for now!
P.S. I also went on a few hikes – such a wonderful way to breath and explore. I’ll post some pics from those hikes.
