I looked into doing this in quite some detail a few years ago - then we moved to a house that already had one :) - result I remember having a good look at a couple of friends set ups, they had both done it themselves and had both omitted what seemed to me to be a fairly important safety...

That does all sound relevant to this weekend. I woke up during Sat night - something that sounded huge but was probably just an acorn, bounced off my tarp. For a while lay listening to cracking and falling objects - much smaller than the big branch but quite a few of them. I do sometimes...

Just had a look at the H53 link (mine are H52) It doesnt look like the current model the h53 will take the high voltage Lithiums 14500

I have a couple of the Zebralight AA torches and have been very impressed with them. One lives rough, chucked in the bottom of my tool bag and is used several times every day. It has been through the washer a couple of times too. It takes any AA size battery you put in it including 3.7v...

It seems like ages since I was last at Lords Wood, looking forward to it :-)

What time will you be there on 25th Steve? If work allows I will join you early. I might struggle with heavy work due to finger injuries but will do what I can :-) Mike

If no fire possible we could take the opportunity to try out the Pub Food.

That brings back memories and I remember the smell just looking at the pictures :) I never had the extension but the rest looks about right. Maybe just needs adjusting a bit here and there to get it all hanging a bit neater. I assume you hooked the inner bungies onto the same pegs as the fly...

Doesnt need to be deep in the woods, in fact with a bit of a view would be better. So I guess it will be fine. Thanks Mr Mesquite :-)

I would like to take the family (2 adults + 14yr old daughter) to the Bushmoot this year but am unsure of the camping/hammocking arrangements. Details are a bit vague on the website. It sounds like a massive site but maybe camping areas etc are restricted. We would like to set up a small camp...

Somehow I have managed to get roped into a 24hr pedal car race that weekend so cannot make this meet. I am way overdue a trip to Lords Wood and am missing the chilling :-) Hopefully next time Have a good weekend and please don't burn my chess set - or the board James

Here you go, I posted this on Blade Forums in 2017 Save Edge and Bassoli seemed to be the most suitable for making knives. I took 4 different makes of 14 inch farriers rasps and measured the Rc at the tip end and the handle end: Save Edge 66 Tip 61 Handle Bassoli 65 44 Mercury 55 41 Hellier...

Some makes are far less superb than others. I did do a test on some of the more popular brands a few years ago. If I can find my results I will post them up here.

Thanks Steve but I can work. Health isn't the issue, just not sure if I can get that weekend away yet!

I haven't used one but it is very heavy and has limited stowage space. You can get Canadian canoes with seats for kayak type paddling maybe that would be a better compromise?

We have just booked a last minute package deal for that weekend so cannot make this meet. Have a good time and see you all at the next one. Mike PS Survived the OP OK :-)

I am generally OK with this sort of thing, particularly by the road where there has been a fatal accident. If it makes people feel better, it is OK with me, If it makes people think and drive more carefully, that's a bonus :) One memorial plaque that I do object to is on the front of a local...
