All,

Troubles with work might mean I can only make Saturday and if thats the case I might have to bail on this on. Brighton to Yeovil and back in one say is little far. I'll update if anything changes.

Well....
I have a 4 yr old Flat Coat Retriever.
However from the 24th my family are going on holiday and i am also looking after 3 Golden Retrievers but i think i'll probably have them with be during the day and take them home at night and then just keep my Flat Coat with me for the night exercise with the others guarding the house.

It'll be the first time she'll of come hammock camping with me so should be fun lol

I doubt it - but then i think as it is my event i'd probably be too busy making sure everyone else is enjoying themselves to do bushcraft stuff.
Besides apart from walking around and collecting stuff and cooking - my bushcraft is usually led in a hammock reading a book lol

I'll be free and able to join in the night time drinking and fire conversations tho!! Planning on doing some Cherry Vodka thjis week for it....

Can't make it... :( Will be on my way to Uganda for a short business trip...

I'll be in the UK throughout August and at least the first half of september, although much of this will be spent looking after the expected puppies which are due mid-august.... :)

Well thats definetly two of us lol
I am quite happy for us to do a group feed however i don't have the appliences to do one - i'm a lightweight buschcrafter so no cast iron dutch oven in my rucksack unfortunately....
Think if we keep meeting like this though I may have to purchase more stuff.

There is a Spar not that far away from the woods and a McDonalds (YUK) if people need anything last minute and Yeovil Tesco / Asda is only 15 mins away and 24 hours if anyone needs anything.
