Ashwood, the day after ...

[Ahjno]

Ok, at the moment - when I'm typing this post - you happy campers ... Sorry, that's to much John Candy :yikes: ... I mean: happy bushcrafters, are still at the Ashwood Forrest meetup. While we, a bunch of sad looners - who couldn't be at the meetup are surfing the net, are trying to cope with the wait untill you all return, trying to survive another boring sunday and dying to know HOW IT WAS!!!

So, let us know!

Tell us all the dirty details

Who got lost? Did Kim(berly) voluntered as campcook? Got PW drunk? Who lost a knife (no ... I don't mean someone in particular :roll? Did you break the record "Making spoons" - in the Guiness Book of records? Et cetera, et cetera ...

Yep. VERY quiet. Where are the normal 200+ post :shock:

At this rate I may have to go and actually do some housework :yikes:

It would appear I have a cold, again :?:

Wrap up with hot milk and scotch ):

Good idea except I am suffering like you together with some gastro twist. Feels like I have been kicked in the kidneys

So I will have to make do with the the hot milk and some honey :roll:

Dam frustrating as we planned to go up to the mountain and do some snowshoeing. Still, best get better and plan for next time.

I just got a astronomy app for the computer Starry Night Pro, so I am going to head around that so I can start to teach myself and the kids the constellations etc.

Hope you feel better soon mate :wave:

You know!

Yep Stew, on the thick bark of a pine, just trying to make a small hole to get a peg in, twisted it and it came off just like that. Could of probably snapped it with my fingers it was that easy. First time it was used! Wasn't best pleased at all.
I've emailed mike so we'll find out.

As long as there were no Badgers involved he'll get a new one no probs.

[JakeR]

I think im gonna do just that, it's still razor; after applying a certain leather product

Im half-way through convexing my Allan Blade, i know it won't get used with a full flat, so i reckon i'll order a scandi soon.

:biggthump

 

[Stew]

i know it won't get used with a full flat,

So you've not converted to full flat then? Personally not a fan (except for food use) either.

so i reckon i'll order a scandi soon.

Some people have too much money... :roll:

 

[JakeR]

Well, with the refund money (if i get it) it will pay for a custom Allan Blade with change! ):

 

[brucemacdonald]

What's the ELK? The only BKRT model I know of is the North Star.

My Frosts Mora is still going strong. Waiting impatiently for my Scandi Packpal...


Best wishes

Bruce

May I refer the esteemed gentleman to this post of this thread

Another knife or another experience of using your present knives?

 

[JakeR]

Available at Outdoor Supplies

I see I missed all the fun - ohwell, better next time. Hope to be there in summer mate (I've got some free weeks in my agenda for July - did you get it :hyper: did you get it :hyper

Well, this time i didn't lose one, i broke one!

You BROKE one?!?!? :shock: - You must be a very strong guy ... :yikes:

Oh dear ... :roll: ... I hope you brought a spare one with you

Jake & knives aren't go well together
Better stick to your Bison (as PW says) or your AB Bushcrafter :biggthump (which I really love: I'll give Allan an order as soon as I know what kind of handle I would like it to have).

And keep well out of Andy's way ... :rolmao: Especially on the next meet up :?:
