Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
I quite like setting myself goals rather than making resolutions. E.g.
1) Walk 1000 miles (in the countryside - not between the tube station and my office)
2) Camp out 100 nights
3) Make a knife
4) Finish my blanket coat (started two days ago)
5) Get all my kit for a week into a 45l rucksack (a reduction from 85l)
In general get more idea and less gear.
Cheers,
Malcolm

LOL.
Did #1 a number of years ago. Although it was only over when SHE decided it was over (and had already found her next ... victim. Yes, I chose that word/phrase carefully. She has now gone through marrying two others. I sometimes feel sorry for them ... sometimes.).
#2? Haven't had one since December 2001. I'm usually pretty much broke, but much much happier. As long as I don't have to ask you if "you want fries with that" I'm doing pretty good.
#4? Never started. Never got past that "turning green" part.
Mikey - that grumpy ol' German blacksmith out in the Hinterlands
Good to see I'm not alone
Well, I've just had the last of the pack (I'm not really a heavy smoker), now the fun begins
It wont be the first time I've stopped so I know what to expect, and I'll probably be out-doing you in the grumpyness stakes for the next couple of weeks :bluThinki Maybe that'll get rid of the moose too - it worked last time but that was about a fortnight after I confessed to smoking for the past 18months and had been lying to her about it, and it wasn't the effect I wanted that time round

You'll never pack in thinkin' that way, Rain
Always remember...never look forward unless yer can dream, never look back unless yer can smile.

You'll never pack in thinkin' that way, RainI done the same, once, the next time I slung the pack, that was 17 yrs ago, sorted! just throw them away while yer still a young person....and get rid of yer partner quickstyle.

fair point opal, I ran the pack out yesterday, still doing well sofar. Being a tight git, I couldn't bare the thought of throwing them away after paying for them 
camp out one night each and every month - preferably with an interesting "challenge" element to most of them (one natural shelter, one below zero, one in hammock... etc)
anyone care to join me?

I'm going to try a photo diary and take a picture every day for the year. In part it's to encourage me to carry a camera more often and learn how to use it but mainly because a pal done it years ago and the idea's always stuck with me.
Doesn't have to be fancy photos, just whatever's on the go. Tonights was a big pile of fresh arrow shafts that I'm about to start work on.
Could also do with scrubbing off two and a half stone(eek) and getting back into climbing shape again but I'm not in any hurry. If I'm back on the wall again by the autumn that'd be nice. The diet started before christmas so while I didn't take any off over the holidays I didn't put any on either.

I don't mean any offence, far from it, why feel the need to change yourself!?
2. good luck, you'll p' it
3. I don't know what that is, maybe I need to learn too.
4. I guess we all want that - part of why we like bushcraft is our love for the outdoors
Again, don't take it the wrong way, just an observation.
