Just added my name... I thought I was already on there (not sure how I missed that).
See you there
If you ever find them, try dried peaches. I had apricots for a while for pack lunches etc, but found peaches and they are so much nicer
Shame they are not as easy to get hold of
Still not tried the parched corn. Not sure my teeth would survive

I like the idea of dried peaches, I found these http://www.buywholefoodsonline.co.uk/dried-apricots-1kg.html?gclid=CNGag_u8zbkCFWXKtAodOWsAdQ
How the heck did you get the roll that slim? Mine is titanic by comparison, and as yet has nothing but the bedding in there with canvas wrapped around it.
Its cause he hasnt got the czech bedroll which increases size quite a bit......
Notice you've a bow drill set in there crosslandkelly.
Any chance of a demo/ hints session with it please?

What size are your blankets Albus. Mine are singles, about 5' x 6'6" rolled from the long edge. It's still fairly bulky, but comfortable. I can see why it was a popular carry system.

Possibility of sweaty shoulder with it being over one side but looks tidy......
Should really start pulling kit out myself.....
I would be delighted to. I still have only managed to light one fire with it though. It's not the set, it's me.

Nice one Simon... thats the reason for making sure

Dried peaches.. mmmm sounds good... may have to get some...
Parched corn is not that bad, I've not ground mine yet and left it in whole kernels
Nice one Colin looking good... its going to be fun seeing how every ones pack differs..
I'd better think about packing rest of my kit tonight, and seeing how it all goes together, Ive just got to buy a bit of veg, cheese, the bacon, which I'll roast on Thursday night, I been wondering about pre-soaking the beans as Albus has said, but not sure yet... it would save the water.....
I am going to make some Hard Tack just for the shear hell of it.... found this as well for hard tack
