8th 9th Jan N East weekend.....

[RJames]

I have a couple of bits of kit to give to newbs when I pop in ... band to make a catapult, cigar tubes to hold tinder, my 1st clipper I got years ago that is bashed up but will do as a knife to practice sharpening techniques, and a whole bunch of char cloth. I'll throw them in my bergen and hand around to whoever wants when I come up for sunday morning brew.

I'll also hoy some bacon in the bag and make a few rounds of breakfast butties if anyones interested haha

coffee is yours then Stu...........if you bring your club hammer and some gloves we can do 2 lots of forging at once mate, that way we should all get a good go.........

Mark, i have packed a tarp for you to use mate....have you got a ground sheet or foam mat to use, it could be a cold night in just a quilt..........

 

[lannyman8]

Hey Rich what they for???? i might if i have time be able to get some substitute egg, it good for bread cakes but tastes like c**p on its own though........

 

[Chambers]

Hopefully for bannock recipie but Ive found ones that work without them so may not need them.

You bring the rabbits, Ill bring the veg, cas. dish etc jobs a good un

 

[lannyman8]

awesome, i would not bother with the egg in bannock, it really does not need it, i dont even add milk powder.........

should have 4 bunnies, 1 each so you can have another go at skinning mate, have you got a fixed blade yet mate?????

 

[merrygold85]

I am stupid. Very, very stupid. I had the tarp delivered to the wrong address. That's soooo annoying.

Cheers Chris, I was planning on folding the tarp and using it as a ground sheet as well as a shelter. I bought a sleeping mat the other day and will be bringing a sleeping bag as well as the duvet. I need the duvet cause the sleeping bag is so thin. I also have a throw to use as a blanket, so I guess I'll be cosy enough.

Do you know what size the tarp is?

 

[Chambers]

I got myself a clipper through a swap which is a nice little blade.

Just starting to think about packing my gear

 

[Chambers]

Forgot to mention I also have a piece of 4mm 01 steel probs about 45cm long if you want me to bring it if its any good to you?

 

[ex-member Raikey]

i picked up a few files today too so i'll throw em in the truck,..

 

[lannyman8]

Mark, you should be fine with that lot, a fire by the tarp and you will be toasty.......lol......we can put some firn and twigs under the air mat and throw, should be enough to keep you warm from the floor then...

i think they are 3x3 metres, but dont quote me....ha ha ha ha ha.....

Rich, that would be good but not sure what we could do with it, we can give it a go though mate......

Stu, we could turn them into steel strikers if you like, we can also heat treat and temper on site too......

2 more sleeps.........lol....

 

[Chambers]

the site i used last time has been "advised" against because of the flooding and bad weather, Steph said we could still use that site if we wanted, i said no as it will hepl preserve the wood, the area im now looking at will be through the gate hit the track and turn "LEFT"....... its on high ground, but its the other end to the brook, hey ho, we will just need to walk for water....lol....



the area is at the bottom of the map on the right, we can just have a look first when we get there, and take it from there though..........
