Hellooooo

[Midnitehound]

A bit late I know but I just read the rules and they say I'm expected to have introduced myself.

I'm Phil and I live in The West Country. I attended the Moot two years ago after watching some Bushcrafty videos on youtube if I remember rightly and it looked like something interesting to get involved in. I've been along to the Wilderness gathering too. I've always liked chilling out in the woods around a fire and doing basic outdoor bivouacking kind of stuff. Military training added to my love of the outdoors.

I bought myself a DD hammock and came along to the Moot where I took up residence in the NC and was converted to hammock camping. I'm just ordering a bigger and better one now as I will be spending most of August 'hanging' out in Wales. I tend to hammock camp in preference to tent camp wherever I potter off to now.

I like mucking in and making things enjoyable and inclusive. It seems my enthusiasm for the chilled out friendly Moot has encouraged a load more people I know to commit to coming along this year.

I hope to get involved with other Bushcraft activities around my part of the Country.

Well it is 2am so that is all I can say before I fall asleep at the keyboard.

I'd just like to finish off by saying what a great bunch of 'guys' are at BCUK, apart from the obvious ones of course!

I'd better look for the rules then, I must have missed that one. Welcome (Even though you ignored my friend request since that moot ).

Oops sorry Swallow, I ignore everyone's friends requests to be fair, particularly on Buttbook! I'm not yet very trusting of all this social media malarkey. Edward Snowden seems to have proved me right on that gut feeling! Haven't used the BCUK forum much until recently either.

The group buy rules say I'm supposed to have introduced myself. As I have about 8 on the go I thought I better!

See you at the Moot?

Thank you for the welcomes everyone.

Phil

Hello Phil, nice to read a little bit about you, thanks for organising all that stuff for the moot, I am looking forward to wearing my hat and trying out your jerky, but is it still on general release or do we now have to do chores to get some?

I always say at the NC, "I'm not cooking and doing the washing up!"

I'm just dehydrating some smokey bacon at the mo. Crispy bacon in less than 60 seconds, it's the way to go!

Whomever keeps the floor swept will be in line for some jerky! I'll bring a dust pan and brush.

I like sweeping the floor.

I like sweeping the floor.

It is a bit like painting the Forth Bridge in the NC, sand seems to come from nowhere!

 

[Lou]

A long as it is not in the food I guess a bit of sand is petty harmless, right?

Nope, there are other places you don't want it!!

Right on, I hadn't thought of that.
