Best quote came from Mr Rimps,
"Women are all right but you can't beat the real deal!"
Not sure what he was going on about but it made us laugh I think he was quoting a chap he knew from his time in the Navy.
Ha ha!
Watching him fall out the the hammock twice in a row was funnier, the guy is a hero! Cheers for the bow drill lesson, I am determined to be a master by the summer moot! How crap was I? You made it look far to easy, (e.g i'll justt put my brew down, oh look an ember
)
Think I need to put some hours in, in the back garden. Finished my spoon whilst watching Life of Brian lastnight, turned out better than I thought it would.
Being a rookie the only thing about these moots seems to be that you come home with a huge wish list, and loads of things to think about. lmao:
e.g I must
1.Buy a Bark River Aurora Knife, with a Mini canadian (Cheers Bardster)
2. I must ditch my DD hammock as it is far too small, and get a magic kelly at the next group buy, or splash out on a hennessy.
3. I must get a underblanket and a new sleeping bag!
4. I must get a swandri jacket or shirt, as my smock melts very easily
5. I must buy a dutch oven for car camping, because they are the tits, a roast dinner in the bush!
6. I must get a leather belt for stropping (Cheers Jason)
7. I must become zen with my axe, thinking, concentrating, and visualising karate kid style, before I even pick it up, or I will loose my fingers, and a couple of pints of claret
8. I musn't carve towards that big artery in my leg, duh! (Cheers Wayne)
9. I must pick up an eat any freshroad kill that I find (Gobbler, that pigeon was manky)
10. Most importantly I should just chill, take my time with stuff, practice and it will all come together slowly!
All that to think about for the princely some of a tenner! Bargain!
