Sunday morning please

How do you keep a bushcrafter in suspense?

Hiya - I'd like to come to the workshop if there's still space.

Tone: I think you might...

And me - I've only had one good experience of using firesnot, the rest of the time I've been dissapointed. The stove as shown I found to be particually dissapointing, taking 10 minutes to get a pint of water to a bubble, and not going past that to a boil at all. On the other hand the packets...

Wouldn't the majority of folks have gone home by then?

<appauds enthusiastically>

Part of the BBC reporting of the story: "So we're proposing that anyone convicted of knife crime should expect to go to jail. I don't believe the government's presumption to prosecute is enough. It doesn't send a strong enough signal. We need a presumption to prison." He urged police to...

this sort of leads onto an idea - how about doing a "Den building" workshop for the kids at the bushmoot? Empahsising how to do it without hurting the environment and so on...

"Secondly, as they are all grown up and no longer have any connection with scouting, would I still be able to use Scout sites?" I've used Bently Copse a couple of times for Troop camps - it's reasonbly local after all - and a couple of years ago I enquired if a reenactment group that I was a...

True - when packed they're bulky and unwieldy. However the one I've been using recently (the Quecha 2 Second XL I think) is one seriously comfortable tent for its size; has (unlike the majority of popups) an enclosed porch and only cost me about &#163;30 in the Decathalon january sale!

I have some tracking notes distilled from a course I did a couple of years ago, please PM me with your email addy if you'd like a copy of them.

very testing... :) I'm also still having a few problems with the forum not accepting that I'm logged in.

...and I'm going to the reception on Saturday. If there's anyone here who remembers him from the boards, and would like me to pass on their best wishes please let me know. Thanks Womble.

there'll have to be a memorial game of summit at the meet...

heh heh heh....

I've used a full length Thermarest in my magikelly special. I found (at the chrstmas moot 2006) that this when semi-inflated was warm enough under the sleeping bag - even when the temp went below freezing. And because it was not fully inflated, it curved around my body a bit and was very comfy.

think about the ground Lucy - a ground fire on peat can spread underground and lay dormant for quite some time and then spring up when least expected (a bit like the spanish inquisition...). The campsite Leon mentioned allows them though, as does the campsite at Runnage farm near Postbridge...

I'm at my desk, writing a powerpoint presentation for Friday, and producing some maps for someone in another part of the Dept for Transport. It's been too long since I was out anywhere - been busy. I'd be perfectly happy walking through my local woodland for a while.
