- Start date
No problem Ian. Going for an overnighter tomorrow but minipeak hasnt arrived yet. Will probably go out again in next couple of weeks. If you're free and fancy an overnigher at some point before meet let me know bud.
There will be a leatherworking and navigatioal skills tutorial over the weekend. There will probably be a materials charge for the leatherworking tutorial ( you do not want the leather giving free , as well, do you)You may have to bring maps,pencils,paper and a compass as well for the navigational course.
One thing that no one mentioned to me, was the abundance of rabbits on the site. The farmer does not mind us taking ONE for a communal meal. But he does not want them decimating. Actually this can be another rule. (told you there may be more to come.
See you all in Sept.

Hi Folks,
As Ian has mentioned I've offered to do a basic leather work tutorial - maybe make a sheath similar to the one's below?
These will fit most Bushcraft style knives from Mora Clippers to Woodies.
Dependent on numbers (Ian and myself have a limited amount of tools between us), I'll cut out the basic outline of the sheaths for folks to trim, groove and stitch together, dye and if we have time wet form. Cost would be £10 to cover materials.
If your interested in having a go please start a list below.
Or if you'd like to have a go at making something else other than a sheath drop me a PM and we'll see what I can do?

Thanks Richard
As mentioned above I will run a navigation session over the weekend at some point, if you want to come along and can bring a compass and a map of the area that will help but it's by no means essential, I am sure we can share stuff to include anyone who is interested.

Due to the usual work/family commitments, I'm probably able to attend mid-day Sat-Sun only.
Hopefully enough time to take in the atmosphere and meet a few peeps, feel free to reserve any mucky tasks for me as a penalty for late arrival!

Why not. Surely it is not that you don't think you can do it. I am 60 and I watch Youtube a lot. I can get by now. /nowhere near as good as Rich. Have a go. You would be surprised at what you can do.
If you don't want a sheath, bring an old belt along and reuse the buckle. I have some stamping tools that you can borrow.

I'd like to take up the offer of a sheath, but I don't know if I'm going to Ireland that weekend now because of work. Probably won't know until that week.
Its not that bud, Its just that there isn't really anything I need leather wise. I may have opted for a tobacco pouch while back but I'm on electric cigs now and cant see me going back to cigs/rollups again.
[edit] On another note, My Sil-MiniPeak arrived today so I'll be a ground dwelling this time.
