>>2553606you can also make a bitter but medicinal tea from birch polypore and tinder hoof (ultra common)
chaga is relatively rare and in my experience, occurs on about 1 in 1000 birch trees. so i prefer to harvest it and bring it home to correctly process later
>>2553591yeah i always have a little bag of bullion cubes
>>2553605dunno, i'd still just rather drink black tea than instant coffee. haven't heart of that meat paste, looks pretty cool though. i'd probably still use cubes for camping cuz they're single serving and you can just burn the wrapper. no getting dirt and pine needles in a fresh jar of bong paste
>>2553709pine needles make a pretty good tea. only use young ones (light green and pliable), and don't steep it too long
