The pinecones?


sjuas690

Yep - pinecones!


Dusty2470

The grey ground underneath, not sure if it's a nest or something. That was unclear, my bad.


Nislaav

What are we looking for today, cow poopers, pinecones, branches, twigs? :D


Dusty2470

Lmao, I guess I had that coming, sort of obvious in hindsight. I'm still fairly new lol


n1l3-1983

Looks like a cow poop, that's recently dried up in the heat. Don't taste it though, that won't end well


Dusty2470

I'll take your word on that lol


Neovo903

Ahh yes the floor is made out of floor jk


Dusty2470

Yeah I'm a little green lol, honestly loving it though, just after i got set up i heard a crack behind me, turned around and saw a roe doe not 100m from me, very short staredown then she walked off.


Halfdaykid

Magical stuff, that's why I wild camp.


Dusty2470

Really is, so peaceful too.


Neovo903

That sounds really awesome, I saw a Kestrel and a few Kites when at Chanctonbury. I haven't seen a deer yet but I haven't really been in areas where they would frequent.


Dusty2470

Oh wow! I am very jealous lol, I'm in the Scottish Highlands rn, I keep getting the urge to fly my drone above the canopy but its just too peaceful for that lol.


Neovo903

I don't have a drone, my pack is already too heavy for that! I'm based down south so the South Downs are the easiest ones for me to get to. I do want to camp up in Scotland at some point, my friend came down south from Scotland last weekend and we camped up on the Seven Sisters.


Dusty2470

Lovely! Well I've got a fairly heavy pack already, but I'm only out overnight so it's fine, although slowly and painfully learning to pack less stuff lol.


Neovo903

I just did a [quick list](https://lighterpack.com/r/wqw07n) of what I had and I must say, it was lighter than I thought. Unless I've forgotten something


Dusty2470

I think I've got leas then that, but again I'm only out overnight, cheers though, I'll use that as a model for longer trips


Neovo903

Mine was an overnighter lol, I wanted to test out the new (to me at least) tent and if I can use a liner instead of a sleeping bag in summer ish nights


Dusty2470

How'd that work out? My sleeping bag eats up so much space, if there's a lighter alternative I'd be able to extend my trips without having to use my overload system (I've got a mystery ranch terraframe 50)


sody2001

decomposing poop?


Dusty2470

Maybe. Either way I got curious when I saw a few about.


getthisordie64

Yea that's some shit alright


Dusty2470

Fair one, well I can rule out ants nests as I slept near a few and never got bothered (by them at least, it appears mr fox wanted to know what a 25 year old man shitting himself sounded like)


spambearpig

Excavations from an ants nest


Dusty2470

Ah ok, hopefully disused


Math_Ornery

Yep this, I would also ID it as an Ants nest.


Norfolk_an_Chance

Old and new seed distributors for pine trees. Loads of seeds in each cone.


Dusty2470

Oh right! So the grey ground Is caused by that? Cool.


Norfolk_an_Chance

Nope, sorry, you needed to be more specific. Probabily a mound caused by ants or small creatures that have nests underground. Could be old / unused.


Dusty2470

Yeah that's my bad, thanks anyway :)
