Post your favourite items to forage in the wild, and list what you use them for.
I like to collect spruce gum and pine resin, and make wood finish out of it. You melt the resin in methyl spirits, filter it with a coffee filter, then brush it on sanded wood to make a waterproof, long-lasting finish. The natives used it to seal their canoes. It is sensitive to alcohol, though, of course, so if you spill your rum on it it will need a touch up.
It's really good for daubing the bottoms of lumber that touches the ground, like the bottom of a picnic table, or fence posts that get buried in the dirt.

Kinda the reverse of this but I like to leave bits of 550 cord and foil based wrappers at camp sites in case stranded hikers might need to use it for shelter or starting fires.

Anyone has an app or a website or whatever where one can check the tides in Europe? I need to go to a specific place in Spain and need to be there where the tide is low, it's absolutely crucial.
