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.
thanks i will be hanging around with singeblister and firebreather but i am sure john has a forester axe him self.hope to see you there. carl (mentalnurse)
I have a sfa as well and should have some new toys as well.
John has made my new knife and its just lush. Hopefully I will get it off in the post in time for Topknot to do his stuff for me on the sheath and a matching axe mask. Then get it back in time for the meet. Either way i will be bringing another new knife (yet again made by John) and the sheath made by SWMBO. So two new knives and hopefully some new sheaths amongst other things like my tipi if SWMBO is coming or my new hammock if she isnt. So its going to be a good learning / play weekend for me .
Fingers crossed I might even have a new camera for the meet aswell.....arnt student loans great......its good to see that i am spending it on valuable worthwhile things for my course

I suppose at a push a flask and a butty and somewhere to sit so foldable chair/stool or even picnic blanket if you wish, whatever you need to be comfortable really.
Don't fret over talk about sharp and shiny things, just come down on the Sunday and say hello
edit: you won't miss us, were the ones dressed in green

I see ....... so now im demoted from Saturday to Sunday (bet im on the clean up crew).
DOH!
So sorry, I had read it as Sunday
of course come down on the Saturday Clean up crew
HHHmmmmmm ( leaning back stroking my goatee pondering) any essential kit..............yourself is all you need but as Matt says a good brew never goes amiss. Saying that there is always a kettle on the go somewhere. Pop over to me and I will sort you out with a brew as i am sure others will to.
I am a kit monster as are others on here. So its a great place to have a look at anything you are thinking of getting so it will help guide any purchases. To be honest Im an addict, I just love new toys. Dont be put off by the seemingly ever increasing list of kit. Yourself and a good sence of humour is all thats really needed.

So i can't bring my caravan then?
Or will it just end up as firewood.
You could actually but it'd have to stay in the car park
If you're just visiting for the day, bring a cup and maybe something to eat with, a spoon and a plastic plate or bowl would do. Warm clothing and waterproofs if you have them. If it rains, there will be plenty of places to sit in the dry, under a tarp or in someones' tent, so just what you would take on a dayhike really. No doubt there will be something going on, and we intend to have a group cook up with some oxtail soup so you'd be more than welcome to a bowl of soup and a brew.
Don't get too worried about kit, winter is the time when people have the most kit, for obvious reasons. You need the warm gear, the wet proof gear, a fire so you need tools to chop and split wood, the list goes on and on. Spring/summer is a better time to actually start getting the gear, you have January sales so you can grab a few bargains and then you can concentrate on the warm weather kit. If I think about the amount of money I've spent on quality gear, it is a lot but I live comfortably and can carry it all on my back.

Are there any other questions from anyone about anything?
I may not be able to answer them straight away but either someone will know or I will endeavour to find out.
