BCUK Meet-up Workshops?

[C_Claycomb]

I was just wondering what things people were thinking of running workshops in or doing demos of at the BCUK gathering? I have heard that there will be a couple of people doing knife making, one or two doing trapping, and that there will be something on tracking.

Anyone else ready to volunteer what they are planning to demo?

I have been arm twisted into a bowmaking workshop, okay, didn't take TOO much twisting, but I am still trying to work out what it is I am going to do! :roll: T: : -l)

 

[Stuart]

I,m thinking of doing a quick workshop on trapping (I'll try to get Ed to give me a hand)

Chris is doing Longbow making

Rhoda has said the will teach some tracking skills

I'm not sure who is doing the knife making

Somone will be doing fire by friction

 

[Womble]

If Rhoda needs an assistant for the tracking...

 

[Buckshot]

Ditto on that.

I'm not running one myself but if someone wants a hand...

Cheers

[Stuart]

I'll be in the lake district untill 12:00 on the friday so i'll arrive late afternoon

 

[Gary]

Think I offered to do fire by friction, but I plan to do it as a whole fire lighting lecture.

Those interested in learning fire by friction can grab me after and we'll go through it then, it will be better that way as it takes a long time to learn and one demo wont help much!

 

[Stuart]

Long Bow making
Fire by friction (and other methods)
Tracking
Camp cookery
Knife making

Yeah, I did say I'd be prepared to do camp cooking. But not in the Graham Kerr - Galloping Gourmet style (am I showing my age there???). ):
Also Plant lore if anyone is interested.
I've got some new learning aids I want to get feedback on...

 

[Jamie]

well as I said before, if there is anyone interested in learning how to make Nootka's (its about all I can do mind ) I am more than happy to have a sit down with them.........

 

[jakunen]

Ok, probably gonna look like Stan Laurel here, but...
