One of my first objectives is to have a snowy winter overnight camp with my sons, something they've been asking for for a while but we're finally geared up for. It'll be in the woods close to home so that if it gets too much we can head for home without too much hardship.

Next on the list is a proper expedition with my sons next summer. We'd planned to do it for the past couple of years but other things just got in the way. The need to do this now outweighs the need to do most other things. It might be a short section of the West Highland way, maybe a few days wander somewhere remote...either way it'll be a combination of walking and public transport carrying everything we need.

Finally, I need to give up smoking. I want more time with my kids, to pass on what I know and for us to discover together the stuff that I don't know. If I stop slowly killing myself, maybe somewhere down the line I'll get to relive the process with grandkids.

They're great ones NS40 and you're in a great place to be able to do them, if anyone's going to get snow it's you up there, we just wish for some decent stuff here... Good job on the smoking as well, I hope that you're able to kick it.

Hoodoo, yeah, don't do too much though :D

......so when they're shooting successfuly I've been having two or three animals a week. Everybody I know now has a full freezer so it's time to think of other ways of preserving, albeit on a small scale. I need to be very careful about the legalities of passing meat on to others though, very easy to fall foul of the rules and the penalties are onerous..............

if your freezer is so full, i would like to 'lighten your load' 😉👍 give me a pm.

One of the most important things I´m going to master during 2016, is to limit myself to master a few things. I get easily excited about...everything :eek:
I always have to many plans and things I want to do, and end up feeling stressed when I can´t find time, money or health to do it all. So this will be my primal goal, to master my hyperactive mind.

Other things I´m sure to do is: Improve my shooting, both with shotgun and rifle, improve my artwork, start woodcarving my stable and give myself more time to go on dates with my camera, and do something about my horrible kayak skills (or lack of kayak skills...).

Working with leather... been sat here for nearly two weeks solid using veg tan shoulder, sheepskins and a variety of other leathers I've bought... my tools arrived, haven't really done anything else since other than drive out for more leather.

I blame Hamish... all his fault.

On the bushcrafty front, keep on plugging away at carving - spoons, forks and kuksas, principally - to make sure that things come out acceptable on a consistent basis.

Beyond that, there are two, I'm afraid: 1. to avoid any hypoglycaemic episodes and 2. to learn my lines in plenty of time...

Hope springs eternal!
