Hi there bushcraft buddies -
Thanks for a great weekend folks - particularly to Rod for organising things in my absence, and to the Joker for coming up from Surrey and bringing his Jethro impersonation. Having observed the conduct of some of the group during the weekend however, I feel obligated to point out the
Bucks Bushcraft Group 'Code of Conduct' for camping out, as agreed with the site landowner:
1. All hand-carved spoons are to be kept in an appropriate safety holster when not in use (preferably around the neck), and should be passed to other members in a safe manner with the bowl
FACING UP
2. All possibles pouches are to be kept either concealed or removed when walking around so as to prevent causing alarm to the public and prevent the police from becoming involved.
3. No Donny Osmond or Leo Sayer to be whistled in camp
after 6pm (you know who you are)
4. Bannocks should only be passed
TO THE RIGHT around the fire.
5. Pot hangers must be
at least twelve foot long and carved from a tree of at least a foot diameter (I will be bringing a measuring tape to the next meeting to make sure)
6. Pot Hooks lovingly carved by members at previous meetings are
NOT to be burned on the fire or hidden in the woods: Its not funny or clever -
you are only letting yourselves down
That Is All. Aaron
