Overnighter with the sprogs

[nobby8126]

Not strictly bushcraft but I had 6 boys the oldest at 13 so please bare in mind. Got them to start fire with ferro rod and birch bark, foraged wild edibles, made them cook on an open fire albeit on a paella pan and went swimming in the creek. All in all it was a success considering they are all slaves to the screen

thats some troop you have there, great to see you all enjoying the outdoors together

On a side note, I'd embed your videos on the forum rather than just a link, makes it easier for people to view

Thanks mate. I'll try embedding but always seem to bugger it up just tried again and it would appear I'm still a registered technophobe.

A gathering of the tribe. Thanks for the memories.
Their confidence and experience around the cooking fire was nice to see.

Great to see the kids enjoying the outdoors, thanks for sharing.

Cheers for the comments guys, I've got another trip planned this weekend dunno wether to stick them in hammocks, basha, or stick with the tents. hopefully get a bit of fishing in, might even go out and bag a few rabbits for pot.

The reason I started the channel is to use thier interest in tech to get them involved under the guise of making vids for youtube, in reality they are just camping with thier dad but you have to use whatever methods work these days.

That's as close to the true spirit of bushcraft as you can get, keep the magic alive.

 

[nobby8126]

Thanks redneck, I'm determined to get them hooked, to be fair they always look forward to it but it's not exactly hammering down in a leaky lean to with midges in every crevice but baby steps

Copy the link, pick the little icon above the message box that looks like a couple of frames of film, paste the link into the box, press 'done'.

Nice you are a star, I've been trying to do it as a link. Many thanks
