What have you done since the server has been down

[stooboy]

Glad server is back, was a strugle to cope with out daily BCUK fix, had to like go out and do some bushcraft myself to get a fix, mainly more walking the local woods and reading books, and setting up a saddle pony thing for leather work.

Edit: i was also itching to try British reds sweetcorn relish ill go print it now just in case

Head cheese from a moose head, stretched out three moose hides in frames, carved another spoon, got most of the firewood into the barn before proper winter.

Went deer hunting. Came back empty handed. Kind of a screwed up deer season for me...

I think this will be the first time in years that I haven't gotten a deer.

Forestwalker are you doing a fur on or fur off tan on those hides?

Tanning moose is a LOT of work, isn't it!

 

[VirusKiller]

My Ben Orford knives arrived...

 

[Ahjno]

I filled my days like every day with studying and working. Didn't went out in the woods, as my armchair is way to comfy in this cold and wet weather, went out with SWMBO, had a graduation party from a friend and designed a few new coats of arms.

A whole life, next to one of many interests & hobbies.

Spent time with family, urghhhh. no seriously apart from the times laid up with illness, I went walkabout along railway tracks (disused) and on the broads

 

[John Fenna]

Checked out other sites (none are as good as this one!) spent time in the woods, cut down trees in my garden for firewood (next years), made some knives and sheaths and spoons as Xmas prezzies, had a clearout of cupboards, played lots of Spider Solitaire, pined for this site!

Ahh the language barrier strikes again. I'm imagining three tiny skins stretched out on three tiny frames and then I realise that you mean moose and not moose.

What have I done!

What do you mean "What have I done?"

I've been sat, rocking in the chair and "actively waiting" for the forum to come back on line!

I had a dream about making some more knives and carving spoons, further modifying my hammock, photographing some funghi, learning to hand sew and such things - but surely the reality is here on the forum and the other things don't quite count!

got me a new phone with GPS built in so i'm going to test out some of the 3rd party map and tracking apps on it. also the 8.1mp camera!

 

[Siberianfury]

[scrogger]

Basically. Ripped out downstairs Wc started fitting the new one. Tiling, painting, hanging doors. posted up a bit on BCL and SOTP. Argued almost daily with the loss adjuster after the break in we had. Did some proper work too strangely. Oh and started Chrimbo shopping .

Infact im knackered now so good job BCUK is back up.
