Middlewood - Spring 2008 Meet...

[Matt Weir]

Sounding like good fun

Just ordered a DD hammock through the Group Buy - so looking forwards to having a go with that - though of course I want to get out with it before then

Just to let you know, I'm a trained First Aider - and while this won't be inside of an office I'll be happy to help out if there are any injuries (provided I'm not too drunk of course ).

I might also be persuaded to give a few sample Reiki treatments at some point over the weekend... Not Bushcraft-related of course, but might be of interest to some people..

Anything that anyone can bring to a meet is superb Dave, thanks

I'm also looking forward to seeing this new DD in operation.

Hi it’s my eldest’s 10th birthday on the 25th so it will depend on what she is going to do for that whether I can make it or not but as it’s a bank holiday the week before I think we will do whatever she decides then so I may be free that week end we will see :swordfigh

 

[Matt Weir]

Hope you are able to make it Corr. Happy double figures for your lass

I figured I would test these at middlewood as its gonna be cold and I dont want setting on fire.

Seeing as they came up in conversations around the camp fire at middlemud i got a set sent over from america for testing. one dissapointment was that they didnt have the drop down flap at the rear and just have a button with extra material on the butt :Wow:

Go on admit it you all want some

I like the look of that slingshot in the other thread ... DPM & paracord, nice ... but where could I carry it?

ARRRGH! MY EYES!! MY EYES!!!

I like the look of that slingshot in the other thread ... DPM & paracord, nice ... but where could I carry it?

Now these could have their uses, In times of emergencies you would have paracord to construct a shelter, and something to blow your nose on while you built it.

It could be used as a mini sail for a mini ship to go on a mini voyage.

or you could just keep nuts or shrivelled grapes in it.

It could even be made into a fashionable eye patch if the need arose.

I shall send these ideas to the colab alpkit comp and ask if I could have a late entry
