Bushy day with Mrs Copperhead

[copper_head]

My other half had showed some interest in this bushcraft malarky so we borrowed a dog and headed up to the woods.

Had a real nice time; she lit her first fire, had a go at roughing out a spoon from a billet, rigged up a tarp and cooked some lunch.

Happy days

Good stuff mate.
Reckon you'll get her on boone challenge any time soon?

 

[copper_head]

Haha not sure she is ready for that yet, but she did say she would have a go at an overnighter with a hammock (with bug netting ).

I might have another go though, all these recent traditional kit list threads led to a small spending spree.

And yes it can go on the 'I blame Sam list'

 

[Man of Tanith]

Another one for the list
What ya bought what ya bought what ya bought?

 

[copper_head]

Well I had some traditional style gear to add to it already but got that lavvu half, a Swedish M39 pack (leather and canvas), various leather pouches, a cool looking water bottle and some hemp rope. I'll put it all together when it arrives and post it up...

Might even get away for an overnighter next weekend for a test run.

 

[Man of Tanith]

Sounds good mate.
Got an overnighter myself next week to give set up a bit of a run. Although there will be more toys than boone kit list.
Nowt to stop mrs copperhead using mod cons whilst you rough it

That's a good point, small steps and all that. I'm just pleased she's willing to give it a go.

I also got one of the pipes cowboy had for sale so got a nice period luxury to go with the Boone kit list. Just doesn't seem right 'smoking' an Ecig round the campfire.

Always good to get the other half out as well, although I see you got her to do the cooking for you

Lucky man, my wife's idea of roughing it was when i purchased a brand new caravan, the great outdoors, i don't think so.

You always seem to find lovely places to play out in!

Well done for encouraging Mrs Copperhead to play out.

The most mine let's me do with her is to take the Ghillie Kettle out for a brew!
