NaturalBushcraft Meet - Oct 2009

[Nightwalker]

Hi Folks,

Now I know this is a bit geeky but we're trying some new!.. a pre-virtual meet!

No honestly, for all those who think they may attend the meet we are trying to get as many of you as we can to hook up in the NaturalBushcraft Chatroom around 8pm on Mon 18th. We thought it'd be fun to discuss what we might get up to on the day, creating ideas allowing people to think what they might bring to show and share. So, if your free for a while on Monday evening, drop by the Chatroom at 8pm for a laugh. You can get to the chatroom by choosing it from the menu on NaturalBushcraft. More info about the virtual-meet on the events-page: http://www.naturalbushcraft.co.uk/events#NaturalBushcraft-WV-24th-26th-Oct
Speak to you all soon!

Chris, you'll be fine ground-dwelling there. Its also suitable for Hammocks and if you like I can bring a spare one for you to try? Just let me know and I'll be more than happy to lend you a hammock.

As for a mob no. im sure Martin (Saint) will drop you his, im sure he knows the roads round that way better than I and im notorious for not having my phone on me whilst in the woods.

Speak to you Monday evening bud

 

[Chris the Cat]

Thanks mate,a go in a hammock would be great!! (First time!)
If it is not too much trouble,then yes please!!
So tarp and sleeping bag,how about a mat?
Thanks again.
Chris.

 

[Nightwalker]

Yeah I was just gona recommend a roll-mat. The evenings are getting a lot nippier now and it can get chilly on the underside of a hammock, so a roll-mat would still be advised.

 

[Chris the Cat]

Will do,thanks again.
Chris.

Yeah, we'll be in the SE corner of Woodland (near the lake). However we'll be meeting up in the Woodland Valley carpark for 10am and no doubt walk down as a group. No problem if you cant make it for 10am as of course your all welcome any time.

See y'all tomorrow you Cats!

Thanks to everyone who came, you made it a wonderful and funny few days.

We had a few crazy cats and some epic cooking feats, there was a lot of communal cooking... sweet-chestnuts roasting all weekend long, two pork joints, one spit-roast the other steamed in cider in a homemade oven. The biggest bannock you ever did see & an spanish-omelette with hen-of-the-woods, nettles, potatoes etc.

People had a go at Friction Fire lighting & alternative methods, wild-foods, making natural-cordage, fishing, excessive cooking, drinking and laziness. A very enjoyable time, thanks all.

Near Christmas I think.

I heard rumours that there might be one going down at Dave Budd's place between now and then.
