Hi How about a new craze?

people always worry about hiding in the woods to make a brew etc, how blatant obvious, or public, can you get with your camp? (obviously you don't want to be breaking any laws):rolleyes:

Sadly some of the photo's have been lost, But I'll try to get them back ASAP

how about tarp set up across a popular and well known footpath/national cycle route? and my crusader brewing up?

Good on you, mate! And you didn't get found out by a concerned member of the public? that's good too..:You_Rock_

Maybe a fire drill practice on a roundabout next?
 
I like your style...

A couple of years back I was working nights on a road construction site, when everyone else was breaking out their thermos flasks etc, I set up my stove & brewed up bushcraft stylee, why...

because I could, of course. :D

Oh no doubt some PC person would come along and say you cant get a pram or a fire engine past.

Love it, this is of course the UK and we are supposed to be free peoples.

Good on you mate

Aw, now this has to be done. A bit like extreme hammocking. http://www.extremehammock.com/

Well done!

It's where I got the idea!:approve:

I'm already thinking of another couple of places I can get away with this!:rolleyes:

OK I'll set some rules:

A tarp/poncho/basha/ has to be present.(I suggest a cheap shelter)
and a stove!(you don't need to light the stove it just needs to be visible).
I need Photographic evidence.
No rules as to where/when you do it.
Don't put yourself in danger (I.e. not on a busy road, or outside a nightclub at chucking out time) :1244: :BlueTeamE.
Observe trespassing laws :deal:.
If you get in trouble you've never heard of BCUK! (that includes the badge! :11doh: ) :27:
Please don't carry any blades! :cop:


the gauntlet is down!

Hmmm, I can think of a couple of shopping centres nearby which could make some interesting pics. I'll just need to time the security patrols and avoid any confrontation.

Already considering the idea of building a bow drill from scratch in the market square solely for the purpose of lighting a cigarette...

Make sure you leave your hat on the floor. As an added bonus it'll be full of spare change when you wake up.
