Hi Big Bear
I will take the other arrow shaft please mate.
After seeing Wayland with his I have been on the look out for one, but did not want to fork out much, so I will see you right with some home brew this weekend.

Chill out in good company, eat well and have a wee dram or two in the dark hours!
I can bring my fire lighting stuff if anyone wants a go with flint / striker & char cloth & chemical fire lighting etc.Never done fire by friction but would be keen to learn if someone wants to show me.

Simon, I'll show you what I know of bow drills if you bring your char cloth set up (I took a pair of jeans and a syrup tin to Llangollen but didn't get chance to use them so left them for the rest of the group ).
I also fancy a go at the floating hand drill - how come no one knew about that technique until last week (or is it just me?)?

I've just finished making a snow / wind shirt and a poncho so I'll be them an airing I guess.
I could show people some kolrosing I suppose or making sulphur matches.
Is there anything specific people want to see?
What time were you thinking of heading over Linz?
I'm going over in the morning if that's any use to you.
Are you still in Stockport?
Well, I've just been filtering, blending and decanting my home made elderberry vodka and "tropical fruit mix" vodka.

Any kids going to this meet. I think Adam was lonely last time and may not come if there are no more ankle biters coming. Adam is 7, as some of you will know.
It's alot easier in summer as he can play in the woods for longer. When it goes dark I like to keep him close by and he gets bored after he's let his small fire die out for the 10th time
Cheers
Yup - I'm bringing my 11 yr old. I'm also bringing my new Warbonnet Blackbird hammock for it's first outing...secretly, I'm quite excited.
