Bushcraft Adventures: Exploring Mauvaise Terre Creek, Bushcraft & Elderberry Tea

Exploring the Bad Land along Mauvaise Terre Creek turned into a full day of foraging, firecraft, and bushcraft skills. In this adventure, I’ll show you how to:

🌳 Identify and use Eastern Cottonwood for fire and cordage
🍇 Forage Elderberries and brew fresh trail-side tea
🌿 Spot Wood Nettle (and its stinging hairs!)
🌸 Use Jewelweed as a natural remedy for poison ivy, nettles, and skin irritations
🔥 Build a small campfire and put it all together in the field

The so-called “Bad Land” is full of resources if you know how to look!
