[Wayland]

Insanity is tough, some kids in my school climbing and kayaking club tried it. Said 3mns of that was like running for an Hour.

Add to my list -

Visit Corsica - via ferrata, multi-pitch rock

 

[Bucephalas]

I spent a lot on gear this year so I've promised myself no spending next year as I'll be having a nice 10 days away canoeing/wild camping in Sweden in April with Redandshane.
I have all the gear now for knife making and enough stock to last a while so jut need to motivate myself to get cracking.
Spent a fair amount of time out this year but want to get my kids out more.

I really need to get out on the bike on a daily basis (lose a few pounds) and relaunch my photography business to bring in some extra bucks.

 

[spiritwalker]

expand my knowledge on plants (start a journal and database)
resew my sami pouch kit cause i made a complete pigs ear of it lol...
re-try fire by friction

 

[Green Knight]

1) Attend / survive Arctic Expedition in February

2) Attend some intensive blacksmithing courses and get my own forge

3) Finish converting campervan

4) Learn & do more tracking hunting

5) Do the RM Woodlore Journeyman course

6) Start going to local archery range

All being well with health & funds & willpower should be a good year of building skills, i'm already going out on my own bushcrafting for few days of the month, and this year my new equipment enabled me to be comfy in winter which is a first.

 

[Tengu]

I wish I was as ambitious as all you lot.

 

[British Red]

This coming year we would like to grow some heritage long stemmed wheat - partly to be able to make our own bread (rather than assembling other peoples ingresients). We are also considering raising some chickens for meat and perhaps even establishing an artificial Warren for meat rabbits.

Simple things - but they are more skills for us to develop - and would make another chapter to the planned book
