Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Really enjoyed reading this Kit, dead jealous but thanks for sharing. Really detailed account of a fantastic time out in the woods.
Really appreciate the time you've taken in writing that up, really enjoyed reading it. Kudos on completing the challenge
Cheers!
Been meanng to read this for days - made it! Thanks for a grand write-up and pix ... and several tips for beginners like me
Thanks Elen, I'm a chef so outdoor cooking always fascinates me.
Copper, had you thought of collecting the rainwater in the tarp? I always get a stash after some rain, even if it only seems a little. I don't always use it but I could with the Billbank Bag and the fire. Would definitely have been in line with your challenge
Well somewhat typically it only rained while I was walking about, as soon as I stopped for the day the sun came out!
Cheers!
Thanks Gray,
Great report bud
I'm also seriously considering doing this for the Nov meet aswell now after reading challenge and reports. I really like modern kit but will be fun to challenge myself and go more traditional

Cheers Adam, you should give it a go mate. I'll be doing it so it'll be nice not to be the only one freezing my proverbials off
. I had a real good time doing it and I've got a bit more vintage kit since doing this so looking forward to revisiting it. A good site for research here.
Give it a go. Just remember photos and a write up please for all the boonies out thereI'm also seriously considering doing this for the Nov meet aswell now after reading challenge and reports. I really like modern kit but will be fun to challenge myself and go more traditional

'The beaten track is for beaten men'..??
is the use of a bivibag allowed instead of a bedroll..?
Yup it's the individuals interpretation of the challenge that makes it interesting
Yeah dodgy latin phrases are fun too
Only chose the bivi bag because I'm tight and don't want to buy a bed roll....and I'm a biff at DIY gear..lol 
That was a great report! Reading this has really made me want to do this now - just need to get in gear and actually make myself do it, looks and sounds like a lot of fun

Do it, get as close as you can to the kit list, don't worry if your not exact.. as you can see from the Suffolk one, there was a mix of kit... You'll learn loads
and remember its Sam's fault

Yeah I'm gonna certainly try and do that! Ah ok awesome, it should be good then.. First thing is to have a bash at making a canvas bedroll I reckon and get hold of some woolen blankets for that and for my bushshirt.
Haha it's always good to have someone to blame
Cheers
The bedroll is not really needed, Colin wrapped his blanket in his 3x3 DD tarp to carry it...
Ah fair enough, I've still been wanting to have a go at one though
I also don't have a tarp at the mo as my one got destroyed from pure idiocy on my part 
So I was also gonna make a canvas tarp at the same time..
Ah fair enough, I've still been wanting to have a go at one though
Sounds like a plan, I got to make myself a canvas tarp
