North Meet. Definately On. Confirm if you're interested

[MagiKelly]

Can you make a low pair of supports from two dozen arrows and an old string?

Don't provoke him. Eric can make anything and you will only regrat asking when he shows you how easy it is.

 

[spoony]

and i cant wait to meet him,

The tarps are already in the van. I'll put two up for shelter/working in case it rains and the other two can be for grounsheets in the flint knapping area. We don't want any little kiddies lacerating their feet on our leftovers. Good point. I'd not have thought about it.

I've got a crappy old blanket of a decent size that you could use for the flint knapping incase your tarp gets cut if you like, Eric?

Change that from being penciled in....i will be arriving around 5.00pm traffic permitting. From reading the threads over the last week or so, it looks like its going to be a good learning experience. I have recently completed a Woodlander course so a lot of the stuff is still in my head (things leave more readily at my age ) Look forward to seeing you all soon. Quite fancy having a go at flint knapping.

hi guys,hope i'm not too late but i'd love to come too,i'm pretty new to bushcraft so have'nt got much to offer in the way teaching anything unless theres somwhere to fish i'mon holiday the following week so that weekend would be perfect for me for my first meet sounds like i could learn so much from you guys and finaly put some faces to names will anyone be doing some sort of axe workshop? as i've got a nice new gbsfa that needs christening.

i noticed i'm not the only noob who's interested so that's all good if there's a place for me it's hamock n tarp for me though with tent as backup

thats it from me know :notworthy


thank's halo(waiting in anticipation)

 

[Eric_Methven]

Course you can come Halo. Look forward to meeting you.
Dunno about an axe workshop, but there'll be plenty of opportunities to make use of it. I'll be using my GB carving axe to get creative with wood.

Eric

 

[halo]

[EdS]

[halo]

yep its a definate from me
i should be there around friday afternoon

halo

 

[Eric_Methven]

Scruff, I have some lovely oak and spalted birch handle blanks I'll be bringing. What with a vice, drill, saw blades and superglue there's no reason not to do a handle there and then. I'll also have my surforms and wood rasps and wire wool and linseed oil as well as brass rod and brass tube. Beautiful knives can be made in the field.

[Wayland]

Hi all
was up at Fisherground last week with work , and have a few badly taken photys from my mobile, they are a bit erm poor but if osmeone will tell me how to get them up here i will post them

not as bright as he thinks he is sometimes

If you load them onto your computer then while posting scroll down to additional options and manage attachments.

Browse for the files to upload and that should attachthem to your post when it is made..

I think........

 

[Bumblebee]

Or go to imageshack, upload you photo, copy the last URL (direct link I think it is called), come back here, start a new post, press the image button in the toolbar and paste in the picture URL. Simpler than I made it sound like...

Eric that would be absolutley fantastic! Thank you, thank you

Whats your poison? I'll be sure to buy you a drink or two....plus some, for any expert pointers you can give me

I think this is gonna be one good wknd!

 

[twelveboar]

Looks like I'll be able to make it, with the family (+3). We won't be able to getaway till first thing on Saturday, we'll be tenting it but I've got some pretty big tarps if anyone thinks it's worth bringing them. I'm hoping to have a go at making a kuksa so if you have any tips, let me know.

Looking forward to it.

 

[scruff]

i spy....twelveboar i've updated the list

look forward to seein you there.

not sure how early i'll be able to get there yet....it might be too dark by the time i could arrive on friday....hope not i need a long bushcraft wknd.

 

[bilko]

Well i have to say that i would love to come and finally practice some real bushcraft. Still, i have to admit that i'm a bit anxiouse about being so wet behind the ears amongst 40 odd seasoned bushcrafters....
You can understand cockney can't ya?
So that would be a "me as well please if that's ok"





mumbles....6 hours drive just so i can chop some logs with my new axe
