idoaik, you will learn alot mate if it was anything like me at the last one, I got to gut my first rabbit and shown how to cook it, also watching a fire getting started whilst all of the wood was wet to say the least was good. Also got to try things like feather sticks, this meet should be awesome

Hey,
Happy new year t'yiz all.
Still not ssure if I can make it. Starting a new job on Tuesday and not sure of the days yet.
I still have no camping kit either. Waiting on a tarp I ordered before Christmas. If I get that in time then I'll grab some more stuff in the shops, sleeping mat and all. I also need to get some blankets for inside the crappy sleeping bag I have or I'll freeze to death.
So yeah, I'll let you know.
