🌲🔥 WILD WANDERER Pine Resin Salve

This is a salve shaped by the forest itself. Made for the small knocks, scrapes, and dry patches that come with life outdoors, and for those moments when skin needs a little extra protection and care. Simple, purposeful, and deeply rooted in traditional woodland remedies. ✨

Pine resin has long been valued for its natural protective and cleansing properties. In this salve, it’s blended with nourishing oils and waxes to create a firm yet workable balm that supports skin repair, soothes irritation, and forms a breathable barrier against the elements.

There’s a quiet confidence in carrying something this reliable. A tin tucked into a pack or pocket, ready when the weather turns, hands crack, or skin needs attention. A practical companion rather than a luxury — made to be used, not saved.

Apply sparingly to clean skin as needed. Ideal for cuts, scrapes, dry areas, aching muscles and cold, winter-worn hands, whether you’re out on the trail or back home by the fire. 🌲

A traditional remedy.
A dependable companion.
Pine resin care, rooted in the wild. ✨

DAY 7 - 🌼✨ WILD WANDERER Dandelion Rejuvenating Salve

This is the point where winter care turns outward. A gentle, nourishing salve created for skin that’s felt the cold — wind-worn hands, dry patches, and the quiet wear of long days outdoors. Soft, simple care, made to restore and protect. ✨

Crafted with dandelion-infused botanicals, this salve is rich in antioxidants and deeply hydrating without feeling heavy or greasy. It soothes irritation, supports natural skin repair, and creates a light protective barrier that lets skin recover naturally.

There’s something reassuring about reaching for a small tin when the weather turns harsh. A familiar ritual — warming the salve between your fingers, taking a moment to slow down, and letting your skin soften again.

Apply as needed throughout the day or as part of an evening wind-down. Whether it lives in your pocket, pack, or bedside drawer, this is everyday winter care made simple and effective. 🌿

A gentle remedy for tired skin.
A moment of care in the colder months.
Dandelion comfort, made to be used. ✨

🏕️A Message from Wild Wanderer HQ🏕️

Winter has properly settled in now.

The light goes early, the kettle stays close, and the fire is never quite allowed to die down.

Days move a little slower at Wild Wanderer HQ — tools cleaned at dusk, shelves checked, orders packed between cups of tea as the workshop grows quieter and the year begins to fold in on itself.

Before the doors close for a short winter pause, this is a quiet note to say the last orders are heading out soon…

📦 Christmas Orders
Orders placed by 20th December have the best chance of arriving before Christmas 🎁

Anything ordered after that may not reach you in time.

🕯 Seasonal Closure
Wild Wanderer HQ will be closed from 23rd December – 7th January.

Orders placed during this time will be packed and sent once we return.

Evenings now are about keeping warm and well —

Pathfinder Chai or Nordic Chai on cold mornings when the day starts slow 🍃

Trailhead Latte or Campfire Hot Chocolate once the fire’s in and the light has gone 🔥

Pine Resin Salve worked into hands that have seen the weather🌲

Axe Wax rubbed into tools before they’re wrapped and laid to rest for winter 🪓

If you’re setting yourself up for the weeks ahead, now’s a good time to make sure everything’s to hand.

See you in the Wild 🏕️

DAY 5 - ❄️🌲 WILD WANDERER Nordic Chai

This is the cup for crisp mornings and quiet clarity. Brewed when the air feels sharp, the light is pale, and the world is still. A warming chai inspired by northern forests and the calm that comes with winter stillness. ✨

At its heart is full-bodied Assam black tea, offering a gentle, steady lift. Warming ginger and fennel bring softness and balance, while delicate rose petals add a quiet sweetness that rounds the spice. Norwegian pine needles finish the blend with a clean, evergreen note — fresh, grounding, and deeply seasonal.

There’s a brightness to this chai that feels restorative rather than energising. It recalls cold air in the lungs, boots on frost-hardened ground, and the comfort of warmth returning slowly. A simple ritual for clear thinking, steady breathing, and unhurried mornings.

Steep hot, pause, and let the forest notes unfold. Whether sipped at home or carried with you into the day, this is a chai made for winter clarity and calm. 🌲🫖

A clear head in the cold.
A moment of stillness.
Nordic warmth, brewed slowly. ✨

DAY 4 - 🧭 WILD WANDERER Pathfinder Chai

This is the cup for early starts and clear intentions. Brewed when the air is cool, the light is low, and the day is still yours to shape. A steady, comforting chai designed to bring focus and gentle momentum without rushing the moment. 🌄✨

Built on bold Ceylon black tea, Pathfinder Chai is blended with sweet Honeybush, fresh Mulberry Leaf, wild Meadowsweet, soft Heather, and a touch of Cardamom. The result is a smooth, naturally sweet brew with subtle floral and green undertones — warming, balanced, and quietly uplifting.

There’s a familiarity to this cup. It recalls first steps on frosted paths, mugs wrapped in both hands, and the quiet confidence that comes with a fresh morning. A simple ritual for dawn light, campfire sunrises, and steady strides into the day ahead.

Steep hot, breathe in, and let the clarity settle before you move. Whether enjoyed at home or poured into a flask for the trail, this is a chai made for purposeful beginnings. 🌲🫖

A calm start to the day.
A steady sense of direction.
Pathfinder clarity, brewed slowly. ✨

Tomorrow is our final Men’s Wellbeing Bushcraft session of the year.

Guided by Steve from our resident Bushcraft Guru, we’ll explore traditional fire lighting methods — from the simple match to bow drill, flint and steel, and beyond. These hands-on skills offer a chance to slow down, focus, and reconnect with ourselves and the natural environment.

As always, the fire and kettle will be on, creating space to relax, talk if you wish, or simply enjoy being present in a welcoming, supportive atmosphere alongside others.

Made by hand. Made to last. Made for adventure.

…don’t ever settle for second best…

🔥 WILD WANDERER Trailhead Latte

(Apologies as I’ve not got any ‘in the field’ shots currently but they are due soon)

This is the cup that marks the end of the day. Brewed when boots come off, the light softens, and the pace finally eases. A creamy, caffeine-free latte created for quiet evenings, slow conversations, and the calm that follows a day well lived. 🌙✨

Naturally sweet with soft caramel notes and a gentle malty warmth, Trailhead Latte is smooth, mellow, and comforting without being heavy. It settles the body, softens the mind, and brings a sense of ease that feels earned rather than forced — the kind of comfort that comes from slowing down properly.

There’s a familiarity to this blend. It recalls warm mugs held close, fires crackling low, and that first deep breath when the day releases its grip. A simple ritual for golden hour, for dusk, for the moments when you don’t need stimulation — just warmth and stillness.

Whisk into hot milk, wrap your hands around the mug, and let the evening arrive. Whether enjoyed fireside, under a blanket, or in the quiet after a long walk, this is comfort designed to linger. 🔥🌲

A gentle close to the day.
A moment of calm before the night.
Trailhead warmth, made for slowing down. ✨

Silky cacao, forest mushrooms, winter magic. 🍫🔥

🔥🍫 WILD WANDERER Campfire Hot Chocolate

As the evenings draw in and the light fades early, this is the mug you reach for when the day finally slows. A deep, comforting hot chocolate made for cold hands, quiet rooms, and the familiar glow of firelight. 🔥✨

Crafted with single-origin cacao and a carefully balanced blend of adaptogenic mushrooms, this vegan-friendly hot chocolate is gently rounded with warming spices and a touch of natural sweetness. The result is a smooth, velvety cup that feels indulgent yet grounding — rich without heaviness, comforting without excess.

There’s a nostalgia to this blend. The kind that recalls mugs held close, coats drying by the fire, and that first sip that warms you from the inside out. But beneath the familiar chocolatey comfort lies something quietly restorative, designed to support focus, balance, and resilience through the darker months.

Whisk it into hot milk, add maple syrup if you like, and let the steam rise as you pause for a moment. Enjoy it by the fire, under a blanket, or at the end of a long winter walk — a small ritual that turns an ordinary evening into something softer and slower. 🔥🌲

A mug of comfort after the cold.
A fireside moment worth lingering in.
Campfire warmth, made for winter nights. ✨
