This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Natural Medicine.

For this BB, you will harvest, dry, and store enough uva ursi (kinnikinnik) leaf to make a tea, infusion or decoction.

To show you've completed this Badge Bit, you must post:
- a picture of the fresh herb being harvested
- a picture of your herbs drying (hanging, in a dehydrator, in a bag, etc.)
- a picture of your herbs in a sealed and labelled container, with the label indicating where the herbs came from, the method of drying, and the date

Here is my submission for the Natural Medicine Aspect - Sand for Straw - Harvest, Dry, and Store Uva Ursi (kinnikinnik) BB.

I harvested kinnikinnik at the Lab during SkIP 2021.

To document the completion of the BB, I have provided the following:
- a picture of the fresh herb being harvested
- a picture of your herbs drying (hanging, in a dehydrator, in a bag, etc.)
- a picture of your herbs in a sealed and labeled container, with the label indicating where the herbs came from, the method of drying, and the date

Lots of Uva Ursi growing along my back fence, probably 100' of fenceline.  
Harvested, rinsed, stripped the leaves from the stems, hung in a mesh bag to air dry before storage.

I love that Rocket Mass Heaters are Carbon-Nuetral. In Erica's and Ernies Art of Fire Presentation, Erica explains the chemistry of how that's possible!
