As i was getting ready last night I was asked what I was doing as I had the outlaw coming for lunch, I went into reverse gear and out everything back and sulked all day.
Glad you all had a good time, it was a real bummer sitting here stoking the fire, I will have to find a place in it for the outlaw!!!

Glad you chaps ejoyed yourselves. I had a heavy night at a burns supper last night, Made it to my bed at 3am no way would i make the car park at 9:30. I was there in spirit (mostly imbibed last night). Next Time for sure.

An excellent day. Really great to see a wood through other people's eyes. Now fired up to investigate simple spirit stoves and look at what could be carved out of a bit of 3 coloured mulberry.
Thanks for the tea, the bread, the laughs, the chats, seeing your kits...... and much more.

Thanks to everyone that made it (and see you next time to those that didn't). I had a really enjoyable time, being particularly impressed with the fire by friction demo.

Unless anyone else has a buring desire to organise the next one I'll get in contact with the Pinetum and start thinking about the setting something up.

I have a couple of spares from the lidl sell off a while ago.....

Did any one take any pictures, if so comeon and get them up for those that could not make it.

 

[Geoffrey_Bubbles]

Sorry I didn't make it on Sunday as intended, but my car was playing up and over heating on saturday. The rad fan doesn't appear to be working for a start. Didn't want to risk it as the engine has only just been rebuilt.

I was really looking forward to it too.

Oh well, roll on the next one and I'll hope to see you all there!

[2blackcat]

Another one to apologise for having to leave early but work beckoned
I hope the pup wasn't too annoying and didn't spoil it for anyone

Special thanks to Bloodline for the demo and makings :You_Rock_

Looking forward to the next time

On the contrary, was lovely to have a pooch along

I only took a few naff snaps on my phone. I was particularly dissapointed that the sunlight managed to obliterate all trace of smoke in the fire by friction photos.

 

[Bardster]

Best bit for me was lighting birch bark with a single spark from a distance of 3 feet

Now if you want to talk about the best bit...... well, although I do a lot of friction fire there is a fair bit of satisfaction from taking up someone else's bow drill set while being watched, (even needing help to get the drill into it!) and getting a coal first time when others had not succeeded.

Hope that isn't to immodest.

 

[bloodline]

Richard how about putting on a hand drill workshop for us men of Kent and Kentish men
