I went out like a light, if it wasn't for the amount of coffee I'd drunk I'd have probably slept through.

Camera, lost the photographs, oops
how about a Boone next time, but with a twist, you have to make your own pack to carry every thing.
Got the idea over the weekend, one of my 3 very grey cells was ticking, I was looking at the 58 pattern large pack I had my cook stuff in and fit it on a home made frame.
Or something maybe a little more home made?
just a thought!

Hi Dave
Can you give a bit more detail on the challenge. Make own back pack, but what else? What equipment etc

We had a Boone weekend at Suffolk last year, and having a four nighter Boone this year, its good fun, and stretches the mind and gets you back to minimum kit 
Well worth doing

The rucksack challenge, kit to a minimum, there are plenty of threads on kit.
the rucksack, build your own, rough n ready or well made carrying frame to attach your kit sack and bedding.
i will make one to give you an idea and post a picture.
"A" frame, maybe an Otzi style, the more I think about it the more it intrigues me to what to make.

i was also thinking of a wood based challenge for the next meet and the winner will get one of my Official Swiss army knife
Any ideas on this ?

I like the idea of this Boone challenge, one question is can we use sleeping mats as it will make for a very cold and hard floor night
