DG's Hunter Class

[Greenpete]

Hi to all that went to the event was great to see you all.
Sorry I couldn't make the whole weekend Dave but it was great to see you and Feathers, as well as all the other peeps on the course!
Everyone seemed to love it loads!
I wish that kind of friendly gathering could be a daily event!
The venue is a lovely place too and it is wonderful to be able to spend time there.
The highlight for me was the bamboo bows! I can't wait to get down the garden center and buy some bow stock and get making! Cheers Chris.
What says the rest of yuz?

Great weekend. Many thanks to everyone for making it so, Especially Dave and Feathers for their hard work in organising it all.
I really enjoyed the Archery. I could get into it. I can see it's addictive.
Thanks one and all. :You_Rock_

A good weekend was had by all. Thanks to everyone that was there, you made it something special. I can now put more names to faces and made some great new friends. I hope to catch up with you all again sometime :biggthump

Tony, you missed a really good weekend.

Good location
Good food (the Hare :biggthump what can I say)
Great people with an excellent knowledge base. I was saying to someone yesterday there wasn't one person I wouldn't liked to have spent more time with.

Well done Dave and Feathers. :You_Rock_

Yeah, fantastic weekend. It would have been cool to have had longer.

Hail to the chefs!!

I think that in the end everyone was glad that Mark didn't pull a deer out of the hat on the last day... :rolmao: As it was there were hare leftovers

Hats off to the put-up and take-down crew who set everything up...5 Star, centrally heated dining room and everything ):

Hope everyone got home safely. Clearly Stuart managed to get Ed back in one piece! :shock: ):

Rich, Thanks for waiting and guiding me to the M40, much appreciated

Dave and Alex :You_Rock_ I really loved that walk to check for badger tracks


As for everyone who didn't manage to come you have another chance next year when it is sure to be even better!

 

[Wookie]

What an awesome weekend!

I'm absolutely shattered today but it was all well worth it. Cheers to everyone that attended, especially Dave and Feathers for organising it all and to Mark for all the fantastic food. I feel that I have made many new friends this weekend and hope to see you all again soon.

Need some rest now otherwise I might go into a Korma!

Well done Wookie, you made it to the forum

Once again, DG and Feathers have put on an excellent event. I think that all that attended, including those sharing skills, will remember the weekend for a long time to come. :You_Rock_

Good to see some of you there :wave: and I hope that nobody has become addicted to anything that will run out of control

 

[Mel]

A great week end indeed, I didn't want to come away.

Particular thanks from me to everyone who helped me learn how to deal with the dead things and I'm really looking froward to trying a bamboo bow.

Hope you feel better soon Stuart.

[DG]

Hi All
Wow that was quite a weekend!
Big thanx from Me and Feathers to: Mel and Rob for the best archery set-up I've every tried, Ed and Stuart for making traps brilliantly simple, Chris for turning gardening bamboo poles into 50lbs hunting bows (that still amazes me), Rik for sharing his knowledge of fishing and casually saying "Here's a crayfish pot I just made while sitting in the car", Buckshot was brilliant I can't put into words how fantastic it was to have him as part of the team. To all who came, thank you for making it one of the best camps that I've ever been part of. I certainly left feeling enriched by the whole experience and ever so slightly amazed at just how good it was!

See you all in the woods soon
DG

 

[Stuart]

thank you Dave for organising such a wonderfull event :You_Rock_

Rik's fishing lecture was very very good, theres somone I wouldnt mind learning more from

 

[mayhem]

Hi all I have made it on to the forum still in one piece had a fantastic time with a bunch of really wonderful characters and that defiantly includes you wookie and your anticks.
I left Dave yesterday after finishing the pack up feeling very positive about the road ahead for Bushcraft and I would like to thank everyone for sharing there skills to keep this dream alive.
Cheers
Mayhem(Mark)

 

[Buckshot]

Hi Mayhem, glad you found us.

I think that might be a better name for Wookie though ):

Feathers knawing on his bone is an image I wont forget for a while. :rolmao:

Cheers

Mark

 

[mayhem]

Yes I agree Wookie could take that name and make it very proud.
