I want one, do they sell them on eBay Kev?

 

[Whittler Kev]

The biggest thing was my pride, mainly bruises but caused some damage to my middle finger to my right hand, that's been stitched and healing but slowly.

Who was you sticking it up at???

 

[Damascus]

I was picking my nose at the time and got a bit carried away!

And so the world turns, I bet the house filsl empty and just as you get used to it they come home, eat your food and disappear again!

Ok on an update guys. I now have a hammock, a tarp and all gear and still haven't had a night out as last meet was cancelled please anyone feel free to contact Me if you fancy a night in the woods with a small fire and nature. Hope to hear soon.

small night out sounds like magic. do you have a place?

hi guys Been away in europe and whatnot.

Picked up one of these from a charity shop. Some bloke on etsy is selling his for £60!!!

Any idea what I should do with it? Leather is so stiff i'm not sure what I would put inside it. It's basically a leather box with belt loops

First aid kit??

Thats a pretty good idea, though I have a lifesystems one at the moment that holds more and is doing the job well.

Currently it's being used as a fishing kit as the stiffness protects the stick floats, for when I meet my mate up in Holt.

If its of any interest to someone let me know.

 

[Damascus]

what are the dimensions, possible a couple of baccie tins, fire kit maybe?

 

[ceryni]

roughly 7/8" x 2/3" i'd have to get a ruler out. Tins would be a best bet, especially if you actually wanted to use the loops. as it's so stiff you can't get your fingers in easily. Also the tins would have to be thin, the "combat survival tin" sold in all the army surplus places i got when i was a teenager doesn't fit.

Maybe I'll bring it to the next meet so you guys can check it out?

 

[Damascus]

Ok, could wet shape it maybe o fit tin?

Really craving a night out in the hammock now. I have all I need. Plus a spare scout hammock if anyone wants to come out but doesn't have a hammock. Any ideas or invites are welcome.

I want a hammock but don't have one yet, would bite your hand off to borrow one lol

Yeah I need a night out soon. Need to get some starlight in my eyes and a good campfire heat in my bones after all the S**t that has been happening recently.


as for wet forming, maybe, I'll show it to you

I thought it went twang even with silencers on the strings

Out in the hammock today. Real quiet as I closed my eyes to listen to the birds and apparently "listened" for about 1/2 hour before opening my eyes again

 

[ceryni]

I've never hammock camped before, it seems to me some people go a little over board with insulation. How necessary is all of that gear? Seems to me I'd be better off staying on the ground with a decent bedroll and tarp?

I was thinking I could use one of those ultralight Mylar sleeping mats that just offer insulation underneath, a sleeping bag, the hammock and tarp, and then maybe some extra on top, such as a Czech army bed roll outer rigged up to keep the wind out.

Does this sound viable? I plan to try this asap before the weather gets too cold

I'd love to start hammocking. The ability to sit and put boots on, get dressed and keep my gear off the ground appeals to me. Combined with not spending 30mins dressing the ground
