Guys, I'm aiming to arrive around midday on Friday. It's looking like another wet n windy weekend ahead... Collected 30+ razors from Oxwich Bay and am open to recipe/cooking ideas. Yet to decide what I'm doing for Friday night's dinner. Will - The Hobgoblin pheasant sounds very good...

A chipmunk chewed a hole in one of my drybags while I was looking the other way... Fortunately, I had a Tear-Aid kit in my "essentials" box and it worked a treat. Just cut to size, peel the backing paper off and stick to the inside. Job done! Dave.

Excellent! Cheers "SAPPER1" :lmao: Let's hope I find some..... Dave.

Hi Guys, I'm around for this weekend but will unfortunately miss the Feb one, so see you Friday. Let's hope it's not as wet n windy as the last time! Will sort something out for the evening meal, am hoping to go hunting for razors on tomorrow's low-tide but not sure how long they'll...

I never realised that his cabin was still there and just as he left it.....truely amazing. Have read his book a few times and always find it inspiring. He thought nothing of ripping planks from a log with just a hand saw, "a work-out for his arm". Most of us can only dream of a life in the...

I have to echo Rolly's comments, great company over the weekend and a special thanks to Spencer for sorting it all out. The weather was typically Welsh.....Saturday night was spent huddled around the campfire under John's parachute with the wind howling and the rain chucking it down outside...

Cheers guys! I'll bring my running shoes. "I don't have to outrun the bear, just run faster than you!!" It will be good to camp without having to cache the food up a tree or worry about becoming bear dinner... CU soon, Dave.

Hi guys, I'd like to join you this weekend if that's ok? Sounds like it'll be fun! My last meet was a very cold and muddy weekend at Glyn Y Mul in February..... I also missed the Summer Moot but had a pretty good excuse - Got to spend 10 weeks in Canada hiking, paddling and camping. Am...

Hi Rik, Good luck with the grandchild, hope all goes well and you don't get an early call ! Please jot me down for the weekend, aim to arrive about midday Friday if I can take the day off (shouldn't be a problem). See you all there. Cheers, Dave.

Hi Guys, Thanks for a super weekend, it was great meeting everyone and having a beer or two under the stars. Well done to Greg for arranging the meet, I hope the farmer will allow us back again after someone mixed up the recycleable rubbish with the non.....almost a complete disaster!! The...

Someone bought the last 16 Millbank bags this evening......either very thirsty or fancied making a few £'s ! Still, worth checking them again from time to time if you're after one. Dave.

"Genuine Army Surplus" have put a load more Millbank bags up for sale on eBay at £2.50 +p&p if anyone is interested. Follow the original link and visit their shop. I have dealt with G.A.S. once before and was perfectly happy with their service. They even rang me on the Sunday to offer an...

I spotted the istraw in my local Blacks shop recently, thought it might be handy until I read the small print.....it doesn't eliminate viruses. Suffice to say, it went back onto the shelf ! Dave.

I've been learning the bow drill using hazel on hazel, have been getting lots of smoke but no embers. Sounds like I need to try a different hearth.... Was struggling to get enough grip on the spindle when using paracord, found two cords running next to each other improved things. Cheers, Dave.

Hi Greg, I'd be interested in coming along too.... If this one's not possible then hopefully I can make the next. Went to the Moot and had the most chilled out weekend for a long time. Would be good to meet up with the local group. All the best, Dave.

Hello all, I should be heading down to the Moot around midday tomorrow (Fri) and will have room in the car for another 2 plus kit. If anyone needs a lift from Bridgend centre then post a reply and I'll PM you. Happy to take a detour if you need anything from Tesco / Homebase etc.. Plan...

A big "Hello" to everyone. I came across the website a few months ago and have been lurking ever since ! Got interested in Bushcraft from watching RM on the TV and recently went on a Woodlore Introduction to Bushcraft course. Really enjoyed it even though the first day was rather wet...

Hi Stuart, Please would you book me down for 1 place if there are any left? (Sun pm ok) Just paid for the Bushmoot, my first ever !! Look forward to meeting everyone :D Thanks, Dave.
