Hi Guys any chance of tagging on. I was at Waylands first meet and enjoyed it. Been inactive as far as meets go for a few years (due to Circumstances)
Looks like you guys have a good game plan, so would love to come along and maybe contribute.

Hahaha, well since you're on the ground. Don't know if the hammock would hold both of us
I reckon boots should be mandatory for health and safety reasons.
Sweet! Should I bring my mini vice grips? I think it would hold better than that pliers of yours. Or do you have something else?
What is a Softy 6?
everyone welcome to tag along......
i started in the cadets so ye they count....lol...
sure bring them along mate, my softy 6 is a sleeping bag, very small and quite warm considerong the size/thickness, i used to use just that with the bivvi when on exercise, was a bit chilly though....

Hi all have just been preparing for the meet by making and modifying a few items..
Firstly i was in a builders merchants and picked up 20m of 65kg tension green rope, i learned from my previous exploits thats you need
some kind of device to wrap it around or knots will drive you crazy! so i came up with a spline of pine and wrapped in in my favourite material....black electrical tape.
i then realised my blade looked a bit tatty so i gave it a good sharpen freeand with my lanksy stones and re-covered the handle in duct tape then electrical tape with a new
lanyard for safety and to lock it in the sheath. On a bit of a roll by now i remembered a engraver in the garage so i got some fresh batteries in it and put my name on everything, turboflame, crux set, blade, my titanium watch even my needle nose pliers lol... while doing my name on the bushman knife i noticed how dull it looked and decided it needed a kiss of humour. I looked around the internet a while until i came across a image of an A10 thunderbolt jet.. I like the nose cone design so copied onto the nose of my blade.. a bit silly i know but i like it especially when ive got it used as a spear.. badass..
Just remember..."each to there own" before slagging me off boys!!!
Also pic of the tomahawk im bringing, its a cold steel frontier hawk

noo this orphan will be void of intestines.
nearly had a whole roe deer, it had been brought down with dogs and stashed in a pile of alder spars that we were using for stakes.
but the dozy poachers neglected to gut it... but then again, we were on the outskirts of ashington.
