Hey I'm a new member licing in whitstable in kent. Would like to find some meets if there are any in my neck of the woods or reasonable drive. Between work & kids definitely in for 2 nighters/ w-wnd and potentially longer if I can work out a trade with SWMBO.
Funnily enough I'm ok with fire as there was a treebelt out the back of where I grew up so as a kid we used firebows and flints due to not being allowed matches and made loads of shelters with varied success but;
Have never hung in a tree beyond the back garden and bar figure of eights from my youthful climbing don't have a lot of knots to hand, have used an axe in the most simple way, again splitting wood as child labour for my mates dad, obviously I've used a knife but more in the bread buttering capacity than anything crafty.
Am really enjoying a good read on the forums and you look like you have a lot of fun & a lot of experience and some major talent so looking forward to meeting some of you round the fire.
Cheers,
Jed
