Now this intrigues me given my fondness for eating right out of the carton with plastic utensils and tossing everything into the nearest trash can!

Are these made from heavy branches/twigs? Inquiring minds are dying to know....

also..fyi, on second thoughts..you should strip the bark off of any tree or tree branch you will be using for a makeshift grill etc (before you begin making) as bark will(often)give a bitter or unpleasant flavor to anything you are grilling. Also do remember to soak your wood a good 30mins to 1hr. so that you don't burn away your grill before your food is cooked.

Oh, so the concept is similar to Skewer Sticks always soak before using..

1st rule-even if you are certain you KNOW a mushroom. Never eat the whole thing. Eat a small bit of it and wait an hour. If nothing goes wrong, it might be ok. Get a good guidebook>>

, join a wild mushroom club..i'll post some other things i'm learning as i go along
