Unfortunately Will Lord pulled out. I had booked onto the session with him but the organiser emailed to say he is now unavailable. It's a shame but I still think this kind of meet up can only be a good thing for Ireland. The UK has had gatherings for years now

Ill be honest. I bought the scout knife about 7/8 years ago and was given the tracker 1 as a gift. I dont like either of them but have made the scout more usable by changing the angle of the grind to 14 degrees either side but still don't use it much. The secondary bevel wasn't the problem...

That sounds good to me John. There would be around 6 or so of us. Whatever suits yourself really on numbers is fine. 30 minutes from fishguard is ideal for us id say. Our club has a no drinking policy anyway so that wouldn't be an issue. Facilities.... well, just point me to the spot and hand me...

Hi guys, Our club was looking to meet up for a few days with bushcrafters in September somewhere in the UK. For travel reasons we were thinking Wales as we can get ferries from Dublin to Hollyhead or Rosslare to Fishguard. We have never done anything with people across the water and are...

Ive sent you a PM

Knife is still available

I can send you a pm (private message). What are the sizes on the jacket?

Hi Coopes, whats the postage on something like that? Do you think it would get here before this Friday? (6th Mar)

Hey, Have a Tom Brown scout, used but in good condition. Looking for a down jacket or a RM clone if anyone is interested but open to offers of course

I have a Tom Brown Scout plus kydex sheath that im willing to swap. Its used but in good condition and never stood on, throw or used to kill Russians etc. It rattles in its sheath slightly but I dont have an allen key small enough to tighten it and dont want to ruin the screw heads. Im happy...

I was asked by a mate of mine to run a bushcraft/survival course for Limerick County Venture scouts last weekend. As executive officer he wanted to re-introduce a good outdoor program for the county and asked me to put together a Bushcraft basics course to start it off. I was happy to oblige...

We already have that sorted Loz ;-) but thanks for the warning. Besides its all just theory at the moment. So how come we havent seen you in Cavan yet?

Another weekend up in Cavan and you can start to feel winter coming. The difference in temperature is obvious and the winter sleeping bag came in handy. We got some of the basics covered including making good old char cloth, made some bushcraft seats for by the fire and also made some progress...

Sounds like a good opportunity to meet up with you guys

Well those who said bushcraft is all tea and bannock. This weekend was mainly concerned with building a winter shelter for the coming months. It was a good bit of work and took most of Saturday/Sunday to get this far. Thankfully the weather held off and all the heavy lifting and sawing is done...

Many thanks again Gary. I am really looking forward to this. It would be nice to visit Castlewellan again. Its where it all started for me. Cheers Donal

No worries Gary, you're welcome anytime mate

Another weekend in Co. Cavan and the weather was much more cooperative. Although I was exhausted from work all week I had a great time. We experimented with lots of types of cordage. Kevin used brambles, the other Kevin and Flora gave the Willow a shot and I used a type of palm leaf that I think...

I look forward to meeting up with you lads again

Fantastic guys. Congratulation
