Tinder fungus, fomes fomentarius
Last walk before the snow fill the quiet bush whit the white cold curtain, I'm hunting since the past 3 days. A big, mature red fox. For maybe 6 hours at the time, I move slowly and silently, like a hungry predator whit my only good thrusty weapon a F1.2/ 300mm super zoom mounted on a Canon rebel Xtr. Waiting in the nasty cold for the red-haired animal, I was thinking about our ancestors who set foots here in north America.
without electricity and ours easy way of life. I was thinking how terrible it could be just by not having a simple 0.99$ "BIC Lighter".
Bushcrafting was a dominant and important way of living not so long ago even in the years 1800, people away from towns had no choice but to use the bush and the wild to survive. Also they most importantly had to know how to make and conserve fire.
This thing is a mushroom growing on a white birch. The tree will die eventually but before mother nature have a great gift for the person who will remove this hard shell mushroom off the tree. There is so many things to do just whit this.

After a couple hours, I had to get back to civilization before it get too dark. Then only 10 feets from where I was standing I came across whit this ...

First slice and cut pieces of it. Once dry I mean very dry it will catch a simple spark from any flint and steel and turn red like an amber and you can use it as the best of all fire starter you can imagine.
You can make big large cuts and hammer them flat before let the pieces dry. It will burn for a very long time Ideal for transporting your source of heat.
The white birch tree who had the hard mushroom growing on it will die for sure due to the parasitic infection it will be a great idea to take most of this precious white bark and make oil from it again its useful for many many others usage. Let dry the whole mushroom then make a tiny hole in the middle. insert a wick, drop some oil you made before in the hole, let the mushroom absorb the oil then you have a natural candle it burns 4 a very long time and very brightly too.
And most surprising is the medicinal usage from this hard mushroom. there is some of the usage and there is real science about this. Traditionally used as a styptic agent, this common mushroom has been demonstrated to have significant anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. Blood-sugar moderator, immuno-boosting, liver tonic. well grind it to powder then drink it in a tea.
and that knowledge hard learned by a huge number of humans among hundreds and hundreds of years is
quickly forgotten.
What if one of these days you have to bug out. Only the people whit knowledge and skills will survive.

Toronto Hobo
La tour du CN dans le downtown de Toronto.
Toujours dans le centre ville de Toronto on peu voir certains itinerants qui sonts la a dormir la oui bon leurs semble. Toronto a peu de terrain vague dans son centre-ville, lors de ce voyage je n'ai appercu aucun érable à giguère ou de simples espace vert permettant aux gens de la rue de se cacher pour un bref repos. Donc c'est évident on en retrouveras qui trainent sur les trottoirs.Saturday, 31 October 2009
Hobo Housing 8
La Grey is now left in ruins, someone have been living there all summer long.
La Grey est maintenant abandonnée, il reste juste le strique nécessaire, et quelques vieux souvenirs, Notre hobo l'habitant des dessus des érables à giguère à été vaincu soit par le froid ou la police venus pour l'évincer à cause probablement d'une beuverie ou d'un feu trop fumant
The hobo even have the seat of a King.
ce sans logis a meme son propre siège du Roi.

Hobo Housing 1
Un des fait de Montréal qui est marquant c'est les Robineux, itinérants ou sans adresse, vagabond sans papier. Je vais aller découvrir et rapporté ou ces gens vivent, comment. même ce que ils mangent. de quoi ils peuvent se debrouiller avec ce que la vie peut leurs offrir. dans les terrains vagues longeant une usine ou sur une voie ferré il y aura toujours quelqun, un résident temporaire aux endroit ou l'on s'y attends le moin..

Ici je vais appeller cette habitation en tissue et serviettes: la Grey. Ce campement est sur Christophe-Colomb près de Saint-Grégoire à la hauteur du viaduc du CP.
Au Spot de La Grey on voit le rond du feu essentiel à la survie.

Aux Petite heures de l'après midi on voit bien que quelqun y vit dans cet abris. il me semble être une femme. Les Photo date du 25 Juillet 2009 mais je les ait trouvé le 21 juillet 2009.

A moins de 40 Mètre de la un autre abris rudimentaire. La boite ressemble aux habitation de sous-mariniers . il sagit peut-être d'un ex-militaire ayant besoin de peu d'espace pour s'organiser. il n'a pas de rond de feu mais un poêle Coleman a gaz ( la boite verte sur sa maison )

Autre endroit abandonnés juste un carton au sol en guise de peuve
