Off to Finland tomorrow to see my friend Timo, for a few days canoeing, laavuing, saunaing, schnappsing and fungi gathering. Bursting with excitement. The only downside is getting up at 3.30am...

I'm going to pick up a job lot of those £4-a-piece kuksas if I can find them again.

OK I got some kuksas. They are identical to this one but are in a slightly lighter wood (scroll down). http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=61530&highlight=finland

The one in the old post I spent a bit of time on, sanding it and oiling it. As they come from the store they are a bit sharp edged at the finger holes.

The takers so far are

Shewie
Gsfgaz x2
Beenn

That leaves 4 spare as I bought 9.

I don't want anything for them, but this is the deal.

1) Make a donation to charity (I suggest at least 5 pounds per kuksa)
2) Send me a stamped addressed jiffy bag
3) I will send you a kuksa by return.


When I get home I will post the required jiffy bag size and amount of postage to stick on the jiffy bag and send my address by pm. OK?


BTW the fungi this time have been simply incredible with Chanterelles, Horn of Plenty and Sheep Polypore (a new one on me and delicious) almost falling to hand.

All gone now sorry folks, barring non-takers. I am still in Finland so give me a few days to get home, eventually get my bag from KLM and get back to you with size and postage

No sign of a PM here. I've made sure my inbox is free so we should be good to go.

Cheers!

OK back in one piece - blogg to follow - so everyone should have had a PM about how to claim your charity kuksa! Shout if you haven't
Cheers
