Good-bye basecamp insanely pic heavy

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Phew! Glad nobody was under that lot when it came down. Sorry to see you lose your camp it looked a wonderful site.

John, I know it has already been offered but if there is anything that you need then post it up here and I will see what kit I have lying around.;)
 
I am already negotiating a new site - which will also be of benefit to people with learning and other difficulties at the place I just started a new job :)
And it is closer to my home :)

Now THATS the type of spirit that abounds in this place and why bushcrafters are just absolutely TOP. John. You are an inspiration, my lovely :D

Suprisingly enough it is not in an exposed place - it is right in a valley but this season the winds have funnelled down it more than usual :(
I am working on a new site but I do have a small patch of woods I can use for small groups/meets and solo outings.
I was out on Friday night in my small woods trying out my reproofed DIY canvas tarp and despite some fierce showers I stayed nice and dry :)001.jpg003.jpg004.jpg005.jpg
The trees that are horizontal fell in the "Great Storm" 30 odd years ago - there are newly fallen ones in this wood as well but not near the bit I use :)
 
Many thanks to all who have offered their sympathy and replacement kit - it is very generous of you all.
Special thanks to Ecoman who sold me a chute ... but then told me to give the money to charity!
I will be giving the dosh to Clynfyw Care Farm http://www.clynfyw.co.uk/learning.htm - where I have just started working.
I plan (amongst other things) to rebuild (with the help of friends) their "woodland camp" to replace my trashed basecamp.
The chute will be a part of that camp :)
This site has some of the nicest, most generous, wonderful folk I know of as members :)
No wonder I love this place!
Thank you all :)
 
F#£k.... Just came on after a bit of a net break..... Cant believe how the site took it. Thought it would of been relatively ok.

If youd like a hand foraging for the kit or help at all, just let me know mate. Look forward to seeing the new site and helping build it up
