bucks bushcraft group
- Thread starter jasons
- Start date
Thanks for another cracking meet lads and particular thanks for taking the time to help Jack out with both instruction and food 
. I was actually really proud of the little fella - there are not many 7 year olds (and only just) that would sleep on their own in a bivvy in a dark wood.
I was quite chuffed with how the Hangi turned out but we need to sort out the quantities as we always seem to have loads left over. Thanks to Jason and Rod for erecting the parachute so perfectly, Bam for his Drum Stalk and kiddies rations , Seoras for his fire blessed fingertips , Gobbler for his ginger nuts (ooh matron), Ratel for the rather entertaining pole splitting demonstration Jon for his veg, moth trap (never seen a hawk moth before ) and great kids that kept Jack busy, Dommy for his spiritual guidance 
and of course a big thanks to Swyn for both the loan of the hammock and the excellent facilities that allow us to try all these things out :You_Rock_
Regards
Dave

Great weekend chaps, glad I made the effort even if it was for a short time, look forward to more, more more....
Yes, great weekend and thank you very much everyone. Except whoever it was who kept the splitting maul secret!!
There's an old saying that knowlege is learning from your mistakes, but wisdom is learning from the mistakes of others.
Well, I certainly wasn't wise then!
Still, I had a brilliant time. I won't be able to make the Spring Moot as you know, but I hope I'll be around for the next.
Dave, Jon, just wanted to say that your children were a credit to you both.
