Norfolk and Norwich Group

[Damascus]

That's a nice old stroll for you, GT

Hoping to try another meet on the 11/12th August..

 

[munkiboi182]

looking good guys, wish i could have been there, spent the weekend teaching bushcraft to a bunch of noisy kids instead

 

[Whittler Kev]

Ok.....are we starting the list then?

So

1. It's walk in for those that are able to (about 3 miles from SM's?)
2. Bring enough water, food, etc to be self sustaining
3. Cook, etc for yourself only
4. No group cooking but there may be a group fire for warmth etc (or if you haven't got a stove at all)
5. I'll bring some extra water so you can have a refill of your bottle Saturday night if you underestimated
6. Carry all waste out

Oh, and as GT said, why not say after your name if you want to learn a new skill (then someone else may bring the essentials if they can manage it (say so we don't all bring the same )?


I'll start it off if you want

Glad to see Kev made use of the fishing net I gave him. A good time was had by all.

Hi Crowe, I'm sure we can fit an Autumn special in for you when you reach dry land.

The overnighter, it is about a two hour walk about 7 miles

If you want to try fire by friction the I have some seasoned poplar for a hearth and hazel for a spindle.

we need to split the heath wood and there is enough to make four or five bow sets.

Me thinks a plan coming together

 

[Globetrotter.uk]

I'll bring my cordless drill saves arm work. Lol

No really I'll bring two bows I need a video of me trying this art.
