Just back from spending a weekend with some members off of the forum and Paul Kirtley
The theme for the weekend was Axe and camp skills and we were lucky to have the use of a really nice woodland courtesy of Damian. Many thanks for the use of your woods Damian :You_Rock_
We were pretty lucky with the weather with just the occasional shower but on the whole dry which makes a big diference.
Anyway here's the pics
My pitch for the weekend
We started off looking at safe axe work with Paul demonstrating how to sned limbs from a fallen tree.
After which we got stuck in
Axes are great... but a chainsaw does speed things up... so long as it works
The tree Pete was cutting was to be converted into benches for the pitch
Gary brought his WW2 pioneers saw and gave it a try out... it was suprisinging effective
