Nah mate it was Predator blood, that's what had Billy so spooked!!!

[Toddy]

Well I got covered in the 'Predator Blood' Kind of weird seeing yourself glow One of the ones on the poi leaked so the photographers kind of went with the theme.

The foxfire stuff was amazing Bright green glow in the dark like the old clock hands.

cheers,

When I was in the army back in the day (80's) we would ,if found, use a rotten log with this stuff on to mark the 6 o'clock point in the platoon harbour so you would know where you left and returned to when going out on a night patrol.
We would ping the position before the sentry pinged us that is if we didn't make a lot of noise.

Bloody badgers in the night...

Years ago I came across a rotting log that glowed and this explains all, at the time I showed it to everybody I knew as it was amazingly bright and people didn't believe me. You could break bits off and they glowed for days before drying out. Never seen it since though.
