Whats the best thing for sleeping in a hammock? A sleeping bag or a blanket? Never slept in one or even set one up so will be playing in the woods when his gear turns up

I always have a sleeping bag, i find it a bit more adaptable than a blanket as you can have it as a full bag or open it out as a quilt.

I'd rather be to toasty than to cold.

Either mate. I use my artic bag and sometimes my snugpak quilt. underneath insulation is the key to not having a cold back and butt. Most of us use hammocks so just shout up if you get stuck. I'm still learning this hammocking lark.

Right fellas,
Group Meal

Who's up for it ? I've been chatting to Martink9 and we've come up with a few suggestions for the scran for Friday/Saturday.

Friday night - Steak and chips with a side salad (for all those health concious shrafters), maybe with a balsamic vinegar and honey dressing if i've time to knock one out.

Saturday AM - Mountainman Brekkie - inspired by Twodogs. (thanks Cliff)
PM - Curry made from scratch (meat to be decided) maybe with rice or naan ?
See here for curry http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=42438&highlight=curry

Your thoughts ?

Sounds good but we need to decide what we are doing, maybe give it a while till the others reply with their preferences. I've got a West Indian Goat curry recipe to try out one time soon.

Probably best if we all chip in to the total cost but if you've got say half dozen cooking onions then post up you'll bring em. We've just got to make sure we have all the ingredients.

We deffo need a BIG pot for the curry. I'm getting the spices sorted.

PS If folks don't want to do the group cookout but want to just cook for themselves then that's fine, it's not obligatory to join in here. (but i know all will, lol)

I think an ingredients list is in order

Andy 2112 - All spices for curry. Gratis, I'll stand the cost of these.
