I think I just sicked-up a little bit... :eek:

Trying to forget about that is a bit like closing Pandora's box.. (eww - the word box is spoilt for me now ;))

Now these could have their uses, In times of emergencies you would have paracord to construct a shelter, and something to blow your nose on while you built it.

It could be used as a mini sail for a mini ship to go on a mini voyage.

or you could just keep nuts or shrivelled grapes in it.

It could even be made into a fashionable eye patch if the need arose.

I shall send these ideas to the colab alpkit comp and ask if I could have a late entry:lmao:

Bodge


As long as we ( makeitmyself and I) get accredited with design :p and all the associated fame that comes with winning ......

Ohh go on I'll let you have a bit of fame for putting us in for the prize.:headbang:

Well Alpkit have made an exception and given the firebreather /makeitmyself thong last minute entry to the colab comp.

I am of course going to have to get an agents fee when this baby wins and goes global,
I can see Pablo doing a vid review as I type.:red: :red: :red: :beerchug:

Bodge

PS. Woodlore are interested in taking this item for trials on the next arctic course.:naughty:

Silkstone, Blighty!
Love it, a thong and a mat are on the same page, both to be used in conjunction with boulders! Don't know about you lot, but it looks like there would be a lot of spare room in that posing pouch!

As for the streamlined Santa costume, I really am not sure whether I want to see that or not!

Hi Jim,

Best of luck with that, let us know how you're getting on. Hope you can all make it :)

LOL Simon,

Coming ain't the issue - staying for more than 10 minutes after you have set up is the thing :lmao:

Sorry bud :eek: :D

You know what though, even though your lavvu was only up for ten minutes, after we striked your camp it felt like something was missing - a bit like when a building or tree that has been there for years disappears. Weird, but I hope you know what I mean.

Hope this meet is good for you :)

I know I felt gutted that I had to leave, and embarassed really, It was good that everyone helped out and addo and aragorn were able to get me back. This time if I make it it will be after my op so fingers crossed my knee will be back to normal.

Was it nice? Our time was up so we didn't get to sample it unfortunately. Depending on the size of your back yard, I would probably try snaring the squirrels. Less chance of alarming the neighbours!
