Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Just done the payment, let me know if it went through ok. I'll bring an ax, machete, maybe my kukri, laplander and opinel saw. Dont have much in the way of files though. I'm heading to the bushcraft store today, so might look at so,e funky paracord.
Some pics of the bamboo you will be using. I've split one in half, just to remind myself how it splits. And a pic of my bow on the tillering gauge at 28".
Any of the bamboo bows I have made , have always been low poundage. Never been able to get a bow over 25lb at 28in.
Still ok for a plink at some targetsand an intro in to shooting
And for me , that's where the fun is. But seriously the skills needed for this build are much the same as for an Ash or Yew flat or long bow.
Hi all.
Sorry I've not been around, aft moving we had huge problems with our internet.
Colin, I've sent you the money for the bow build.
I will be arriving at my usual time around breakfast on the Saturday morning. Unfortunately my boss left while I was on holiday/moving house and my new boss can't find any record of my holiday slip for the 5 and 6th of July. He is being a dik and saying I need to give a months notice for annual leave. I'll sort it out.
Anyway, I hope everyone is well. We are all settled in to our new house in Eye and are enjoying the countryside. See you all next week.

Looking forward to this one.. got to pack in the next night or two....
Enjoyed the way I packed last month..working my way back to the old school days before "Bushcraft and looking at getting back into the wild nights out we used to do, putting kit in a Rucksack then going for a walk see where we end up.... if you get my jist....
I am hankering for something a bit more wild, and a bit more basic.. back to the good old days of Backwoods..... looking at what foods to pack, and how little you really need,

Yes, I think a two bow design would work, in getting the poundage up. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Hedge crafter you are not far from me now.
Ozzy Facebook will not let me answer your question on the hammocks,one is mine by rights the other is my cousins who works for wynnchester. Cheers.
Hi, just wondering if its worth bringing my strimmer and cleaning some of the weed's back around our archery / airgun range ready for the family meet ? I'm unsure of the age group, would it be worth making a swing for the smaller ones ? Just a thought.
