Somerset Bushcraft WKND Meet 26-28 March

[mayobushcraft]

Jay will try to get a small trailer load of pine cut offs. Wont be good for cooking but will give a nice hot night time fire.

 

[jonajuna]

guys, please give me some idea of what i can contribute... feeling impotent

 

[Bazzworx]

Just an idea if Salad can get the wood any thats left over can be used for our next meet because if its in my woods the same rule applies. I'm happy to chip in. Also I have a parachute canopy we could use as a group shelter, or is that a bit OTT?
Jon you can always give us a song round the campfire, then you'll be contributing toward the entertainment

sounds like a plan to me

not ott, im happy to help with your erection fnarr fnarr.... i like building things like that. i have rope, slings and crabs etc

Jon you can always give us a song round the campfire, then you'll be contributing toward the entertainment

ha ha ha ha.................. no! lol

 

[Bazzworx]

That would be great as I have never put one up. Its had all the strings chopped off so it'll need guy lines etc. you wanna get those crabs looked at though mate!!

 

[jonajuna]

guying a chute is no worries, any old cord will do, youre only hooking it up out of the way, no need to pull it "tight"

i'll assume its got a centre vent with a ring, best to lob a rope up over a suitable branch, tie in to the centre vent, pull up to the branch. tie "guys" out and about

simple!

ok, it rarely is other than in theory as you never find a ring of trees in a circle with a nice branch overhanging its epicentre and so on

you bring the shute, ill sort the ropes and sort some cord (not para-cord, too expensive for that job)

 

[Jaysurfer]

After a few drinks i am sure there will be plenty of entertainment.

 

[poddle]

Whats the topography like there, are there trees for hammocks? or will we have be on the ground? if so, is there enough space for us all or should we allow for the possibility of having to pitch a small tent or bivvy slightly off camp?

Hope it's a relevant question

 

[Jaysurfer]

Poddle it is a stretch of woodland with high and low points. I expect we will be spread out but try to have a community area and then everyone an get as close to that as possible.

I have only ever ahd a few ppl up there before and never more than a 4 over night.
We will have to play it by ear...
But there is plenty of room for hammocks or ground dwelling

 

[poddle]

Brill,and the storage of several dozen gallons of cider?

 

[Jaysurfer]

Well you can store tht under my hammock it'll be fine there the dog will protect it.... No1 will be allowed near it lol

If you feel the need to go tea total that's up to you. Or we could come and tuck you in, if you think you need it..

(thanks for that I needed a laugh)

This make me wonder.... have you two had a pre moot meet? and if so why wheren't we all invited so we could all meet before mooting...

(btw *** is a moot and who came up with that name)

Edit: is ok I found this; from Moot as an Old English language (Anglo-Saxon) term for meeting:

 

[jonajuna]

no pre moot moot

no underblanket

no hammock

am ground dweller

If your a ground dweller how the hell did u get a cold bottom in ur hammock???

Were u in someone else's hammock?? Is tht why ur not gonna drink so u don't make the same mistake again?
u dirty stop out!

 

[jonajuna]

ROFLMAO

no hammock... where did this hammock idea come from? lol

didnt zip up my sleeping bag/bivvybag, during night, i ended up with my rear stuck out through the open zips and touching the side of the tarp

hence cold and wet! lol
