It looks like just about everyone who was there in September is planning to attend again in December so it should be a good time again

I wonder if I'll be the only other one with a huge bottom tent again!

If it turns out to be a cold frosty meet we may well be jealous of you in your huge tipi. Be prepared to repell invaders

Nope probs. Look forward to having you along

 

[Mesquite]

Following on from this thread that I posted is anyone interested in a cheap bowsaw?

I'll let people know the price once I know how many might be interested but I don't expect it to cost that much.

 

[Grebby]

Yes please

Grebby

 

[Mesquite]

Just to let the folks who have said they're attending know I've mailed you the details of the meet.

One of the things suggested at the September meet was we have a social meal on the Saturday night for everyone. Turkey curry was suggested as a potential meal... How does that sound to everyone? And if you don't like the idea of a curry can you suggest something else?

 

[Grebby]

I had my head in the freezer (defrosting) the other day and discovered that we still have a lot of large lumps of pig in there and was wondering if we had any budding bushcraft cooks along who could/would make use of some at the meet. I can't cook for the world but I do like a nice bit of pork

I was just wondering if big chunks of pig would be appreciated/used?

Cheers

Grebby

 

[Grebby]

I'll take taht as a "No" then.

Grebby

 

[Mesquite]

Sorry Grebby, I forgot to reply to your question. Thanks for your offer, I'd love a bit of pork. We can do a stew or something on the Friday night perhaps.

 

[Grebby]

I'll bring up a chunk along then. How big do you reckon?

 

[Mesquite]

Does anyone fancy a night out in the woods this weekend?

I'm planning to go down and do a bit of work in the woods this Saturday 15th/Sunday 16th in prep for the December meet.

If you do then drop me a PM and I'll give you the details

 

[Mirius]

I'd be interested in coming along, not going to be able to stay overnight on the Friday because I've not tested any of my camping kit! But if there is space on the Saturday to come and say hi, then that'd be good.

There's plenty of space as this is just a one off as I fancy a night out and as I said I've got to get a bit of firewood chopped for the meet.

I'm only doing the Saturday night and aim to be down the woods by about 2pm on the Saturday.

I've PM'd you the location

 

[Mesquite]

Just a bump to those folks that are coming.

There was talk of having a social meal on the Saturday night one of the suggestions was doing a turkey curry. Also Grebby has offered to bring some pork for the friday evening.

So who's up for some pork on the Friday evening and who wants turkey curry on the Saturday. Also....... does anyone know how to cook a good curry? I love eating them but I'm not that hot on cooking them

Also, is there any activities that you might like to do or learn. If so speak up and we'll see if there's anyone that can help with it.

 

[Grebby]

I'd quite like to work out how to reprofile/sharpen my spoon knife.

That and how big a lump of pig is needed?

Cheers

Grebby
