Another meet, another excellent night!

[The Big Lebowski]

Bit late posting this, passed out on the sofa yesterday

Just a few piccy's from saturday night, Pleasure meeting you Scott, and thanks for a good night to you and Dave!

Bed for the night, and this time it stayed off the floor!

Scott with the 'mother' of battons!

The 'gang' through smoke... Good to see you Mike, if only for an hour or two, next time mate

Dave clobbering an actual RM Woodlore!! The grin say's it all.

Scott kindly brought some straw, so we had fun with cramp balls and char cloth (1st for both me and dave, i think)

Dave make 'fire'

Scott make 'more fire' LoL!

Hearty brekkie in the morning (cheers dave) and back to the real, and slightly more mundane world... Until next time!

As usual, everyone brought something to share, from food to skills and it was a most splendid night!

In the sunny autumn morning, camp was swept, and off we trooped home. Another meet planned sometime soon...

Hope you enjoyed the piccy's as much as we did making them.

TBL.

how did you find the crampball and charcloth firelighting?
i find it a little more personal than a lighter although i still use sparkstick 99percent of the time

 

[Harvestman]

Did you get fire from the bow afterwards Scott? And how was that lamb in the end? Looked damned good to me, and i was sorry to have to walk away from it, but I had some nice sirloin waiting for me at home...

Had a great time on my short visit, but next time it is someone else's turn to fall in the river, ok?

It was great fun! i thought i'd missed out on the birds nests due to the time of year and the constant rain up here... But scots excellent idea of a bag full of straw kept us amused for an hour or so.

The char cloth (denim) brought flame on much quicker than the cramp balls, but it was great fun working for it with a small section of C.B, and watching the smoke slowly build up, until your hands felt a huge rise in the heat from the nest, shortly before it caught and flamed.

It felt very primative, and was excellent fun! few sparks, small ember, nest, tlc, flame

Regards, TBL.

I'll leave scott to fill you in on the bow, and the lamb was divine... took 5 hours in the making, but it was worth the wait!

It was good to see you pal, and there will be another meet coming up fortnight after Rough Close, I might pop out for a solo before that though, its addictive stuff

atb, TBL.

Good to meet you Harvestman you missed an entertaining night!
No didn't get an ember from the bow drill,need to find a better bow string to stop the slipping
but i've brought it all home with me so will improve on it over the next few weeks.
Watch this space!!
