Spoony, don't worry about tools. I'm bringing a workshop in the back of my van. I have enough tools for everyone to have a go at whatever they fancy. If you like what you try and want to do more, I can give you contact details of where you can get tools for yourself. I'm bringing a pole lathe and tools, a shave horse and drawknives, spoon carving knives and spoon holding jigs, leather and awls, needles and linen thread, and plenty other tools to just about make anything from wood.
I'd like to have a go at flint knapping if I have time. Going on the last two meets I attended I'll be rushed off my feet and in constant demand the whole time - I don't mind though, it's one of the reasons I love teaching this stuff. The smile on people's faces when they make something new for the fist time just lights me up inside and I float along for hours. I'm on a high for days after a meet.
As far as people stating what they want to do, I reckon we should just see who turns up and take it from there. For instance, if ten people want to make a sheath for their knife, I'll just get ten sets of needles out and ten awls and do a demo so people see what to do, then go round doing one to one when people get stuck. If only two want to do it, that's fine too.
Let's remember it's a fun weekend, and while the opportunity will be there to learn stuff, nothing is compulsory and people can chill out by the campfire and natter the whole weekend if they wish.
One thing that hasn't been mentioned though is a show and tell. For those not familiar with the term, it's a chance to show off your kit. All of us to a man (or woman) will want to have a peek at what kit you all have, how you may have modified it or what you use to do stuff that maybe it wasn't designed for. Last time people were interested in my new hammock and tarp and I put it up and took it down at least five times to show people the quick release knots I used
I'll also be bringing a swap table, so if you have any bushcrafty stuff to swap or sell bring it along and put it on the table with a note saying what you want for it.
On the subject of communal cooking, I did the communal meals on the first Scottish meet. It was fun as we had Sandbender's kitchen and Aga cooker to cook on. Because it'll be dark at about six thirty, I'd suggest a communal midday meal. We make our own breakfast and supper. I'd also suggest a total exclusion zone around the cooking area except for the chef and his helpers. I find nothing worse than trying to cook a meal over a campfire and loads of people planting themselves round the fire asking when the grub's going to be ready.
Just some thoughts.
