- Thread starter CBJ
- Start date

Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Well, I was going to wait till nearer the time, but was going to ask if we are having a group pot, what should we all bring? Still not got the Dutch oven, but can sacrifice one of our cast iron pots as it's never used really.
At the risk of sounding a bit childish...... I REALLY CANT WAIT!!!!

I have a question for kiltedpict: when you get the dutch oven, will your bushcraft kitchen finally be complete?
At the risk of sounding childish... it's not fair that we can't be there!
Evening All, Trust everyone is doing fine. Looking forward to seeing you all, just a couple weeks to go now. Take it easy, see you soon.

I think we may still have a group pot, I guess we can decide nearer the time what to bring.
Dont worry your not the only one who can't wait.
Does anyone need directions to Haddo House?

Im childish too, im soo tempted to turn up a day early
I cant get the parachute up properly in my garden, but iv added more tie outs and cut the loops you suggested. Left the mesh on tho, will see how it goes when we put it up.
Group pot, Probably going to be a stew? So meat veg and taties? But as Pandabean said, organize closer to the time.
Chance sorry you cant make it. Hopefully catch you at the next one.

Directions would be very handy for me, or an address so I can look at the road map to work out a route.

Chaz, just had a thought, how did Lawrence have his set up? I seem to remember very long poles. Guess its another way of doing it.
Calurix, I am assuming you are coming down the A96 from Inverness way?
Here is a map from google. I have corrected it where it should be at Haddo, the original route takes you up the fisheries and down a dirt track, although my GPS took me towards that way for some reason.
It is sign posted when you get closer

Aye Pandabean Lawrence had 3 long poles as a tripod, kept them on site.
They would be a waste for me to have them at home tho, i have no way of transporting 4m+ poles.
Collapsible poles would be possible but where to get them? How to make them?

True, i was more thinking for when there isn't a spot to throw it over and poles could be made in the area. No idea if you can get collapsible poles at that length. hmm
Would probably mean cutting down three perfectly nice trees, unless your lucky finding standing dead that aint rotten and the right length or trees that have been blown down.
So unless we have a regular site and can leave them for next time, probably not a good idea.

Not neccesarily, in that wood that we went to Im sure there would have been some nice long poles (especially pine) there but then as you say they could be rotten if they have been there for a while.
I was more thinkng out loud about what Lawrence had and maybe alternatives that could be used rather than being restricted to the right kind of tree. But I guess its easier to use whats there.

Weve got a tree sorted to were good this time. i might have looked to changing the setup to more of a semi circle if there was no suitable tree for a full blown canopy. Tho having a similar setup to Lawrence did cross my mind too.
Was just having a look, is the fishery the loch where we are camping close to ?. If it is I would like to go fishing (paying) if there is spaces. The info I have found says boat fishing only but if anyone is interested in fly fishing and has no gear I'm more than happy to share my rod (might bring a spare) or to show the basics of fly fishing to anyone who has not tried it.

The fishing loch is not the one next to the site. Its not far tho, just a short drive.
It is a different site, so you would need to book it yourself.
http://www.fishingthefly.co.uk/haddo-trout-fishery.html Has all the info you need, i think.

Hi Folks,
Back from my wanderings yesterday. Hope you are all well.
Kiltedpict: I Know what you mean I cant wait either. Unfortunatley I also get that feeling that I have missed something out (even though I have gone through the details/packing etc so many times) and its worse point is when your in the car and you have jused passed the place where its to late to stop and turn back. Am I the only person who gets that?? lol
Chance: Yeah its a shame you cant make it. But if you get the time just pop in.
:Wow: You mean your not already there LOL.
Panda: Thanks mate, I was going to sort directions out for anyone who needed today.
