Out again with my son, different camp spot this time, next to a huge fallen tree. Couple of new knives with us, response pack contents, and a bench/seat, another great night out. Hope you like the pics.
Tarp up this time, wasn't sure of the weather, windy too so helped keep the breeze off, also set to favour the fire. End of huge tree on the left.

One huge fallen tree, stump made a great bench, worktop, clutter spot.
