Jean Heinbach challenged all the members of WMS to a fire starting competition.  

Her belief that all skills listed in the "requirements" should be practices and used regularly.  As an incentive, she made the beautiful bag pictured on the left.  

Above is Jean presenting the winner, Kathy Kilminster-Uda, with the prize.
​
Congratulations Kathy.

​Hawthorne berries, about the size of a big blueberry. Tasty but with a lot of seeds in them like a wild grape

Burdock roots and leaves. Roots are tasty, wash 'em, peel 'em, rinse them again, chop them up like carrots and boil 'em. Tastes like potatoes wit the texture of a carrot
