Those are the adventures of Mr. Fimbulmyrk, in bushcraft and blacksmithing, mountainbiking and hiking, reenactment, writing, singing, dancing, stargazing and having a piece of cake and a coffee. Pray have a seat and look around you, but be warned - the forest´s twilight is ferocious at times.

Emergency whistle from hazelnut
I am all crap at making flutes and whistles. Really, I am. The magical sorcery troll makes flutes all the time, lovely sound and all, but mine always sound like an asthmatic robin on speed. But fact is, I would love to have a flute I made myself, in the woods, from the woods, to play in the woods.
So practice it is. And since it is easier to make a whistle than it is to make a flute, I had a go, and what can I say...
success, for a change.
Plus, it is handy to have a whistle in your kit for signalling or to scare away animals. And even if I rarely succeed, it is still a fun carving practice. So, could be worse!😜
When I have finally figured it out, watch this space for a tutorial. 😉
