Cheers

a geezer called james lovelock, done a few books but all about the 'gaia hypothesis' some of the early stuff could be described as 'new age hippy cr*p' but does make sense. try amazon on the second hand book bit.

that looks ace!! thanks for sharing the pics. how did you get on with being a ground gripper stu??
rancid badger
Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
I really wish I had popped back across, it's shameful really, it's 5 minutes in the car or for preference; on foot, across the fell, 20 minutes there and maybe an hour going back?
Hopefully catch up again in future though
best wishes to all
Steve
Pablo!!
i loved it mate,...i reckon i,m a convert,...
i sleep on me side and the hammock puts me on my back thru the night,..so i end up snoring and wake myself (and anyone within a mile) up,..
i like the quickness and potential stealthiness of a simple basha and bag setup,...
i will use the hammock though, just i now have the option of both,...
i cant wait to try the floor thursday, im not taking my matt, im gonna collect leaves etc and make my own mattress , if you know what i mean .
good stuff man...im about to swing the other way (fnar fnar)...just reading up on hammock set ups.
theres something "secure/safe" about sleeping on the deck, but so many people sing the praises of hammock sleeping i thought i have to see what all the fuss is about

Hi all just want to say thankyou for a great weekend. And also a massive thanks to Stu for the lift! very decent of him indeed. I was really impressed with everyones attitude and way about themselves especially stu taking pictures of me asleep next to sam! cheers mate.. (i did roll over in the night, not sure if it was due to the heat source or the images of spooning earlier?)
Chris's setup for the forge was great and a real treat to have a go myself. All together a great weekend and the first of many i hope.
A few lessons learnt:
1. Dont take too much food
2. Use water spareingly (spelling, its nearly 3am gimmie a break)
3. Buy more tomahawks to sell for a mark up
4. Less booze
5. Less spare clothing (depending on forecast)
6. DDxl tarp Maybe too big for purpose
7. Get the good wood before everyone else
8. share the crap wood with everyone else
9. Drink other people homebrew with caution
10. Ask more questions
11. buy a good mora to carve with (Axe worked well but was a bit dangerous i must admit)
12. Always spent 2 hours making a bench! its worth the look on everyones face when you carry it around camp looking smug.. hahaha
13. sand is great for cleaning pots and pans
14. Always bring a south african to carry stuff!
15. Always sneak crispy bacon to the guy who drives you there,, they love it
Here are my pics
me and sams camp.
The bench and sams big ****
Stu looking pleased with his setup and his meat stick..
