  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Yes, he looks like a quality resource. Not the best 'presenter' compared to say Dave Canturbury or Ray Mears and I suspect that's why he is under the radar. But his skills are superior.

I suspect the quality of skills you would learn with this guy would be much more than if you paid out for Woodlore. I am giving serious consideration to signing up for a course.
 
Wish I could make it. Any chance of a weekend meet?

The lakes tracks are underwater at the moment so need a boat for access. Should be getting railway stones in there fairly soon.

I am in the process of getting access to other woods also... So watch this space!
 
I'm hoping to get out again soon been a difficult few months what with one thing and another.... See you all again soon hopefully.

We (Rob Skolding and myself) tried to catch them in a pincer movement (see how I turned that for your military mind he he) but they legged it too fast for us dagnabit.
Mind you if we caught them what could we do....citizen arrest.....then they get a caution from the police..... better to give them a scare I reckon ;)
 
Got up this morning and my back has loads of mozzi bites on it. Don't know how they got through the hammock I was on:confused:
May give it a powerwash today incase anything is on it from storage????
(Yes I do mean the hammock...not my back:rofl:)
 
We've seen the evidence of what the, er, monkeys shall we call them do down there didn't we Kev? That was the whole string and blood stained trees where they hang the poor things up!! Also the dug pits etc!! Good no your gonna be down there Kev, iv knocked footy on the head now, so as soon as I'm fully over this operation, 6 weeks to go, I will happily accompany you down there if that's ok? Hot dogs and boiled onions just don't taste the same at home.......... LOL

It's hammered down all day. Very peaceful but I thought the rain dulled sounds so they didn't carry as much. WRONG. Sounded like an army near me. Cars, banging, etc.
Took an opportunity in a lull in the rain to pack up and get home.
Nylon tarp let a mist through so had to put my coat back on dagnabit. I was going to waterproof it but may make a new green one. 3M x 3M as seen some 1.5M wide for sale on EvilBay.....hmmmmm.....decisions, decisions

Rain only kicked in early afternoon in Cambridge. I hate the rain. The sound of rain on a tent or tarp drives me nuts for some reason and I get stressed out! Don't blame you on packing up and going home. Sitting in the rain in the woods is rarely fun.
Reminds me I need to patch up the burn holes on my DD tarp otherwise it will hold rain like a sieve next time it rains. But then if I had a canvas tarp..........

Good to hear you got out though kev. We have four seasons, generally all of them crap! No point hoping for a dry, sunny and warm day. Few and far between.

This rain won't do the lake tracks any favours either.
