[Big Stu 12]

Well Nearly packed ..food as well, just got the last bits and pieces to put in sack, and the meat to take out the frezzer.. and I am ready.. ..

Can not wait for it now... looking forward to it....

 

[mikesmith777]

Nearly packed myself, still got food to buy though,
Are you meeting at the Pub at 12 or at the car park?

 

[Big Stu 12]

Be aiming to be at the Pub for Midday ...

 

[ozzy1977]

What meat you bringing Stu? I will take out the venison later tonight, is 1 bag of diced enough, that will weigh 2.5lb.

 

[Big Stu 12]

Yeah I think 2.5lb will be enough for the meat..

I mean things like sauage and bacon, ect ...cooked breakfasts for me this weekend I think..

 

[ozzy1977]

No worries

 

[crosslandkelly]

Colin could we use the oil can? I don't have anything that will do otherwise

Sorry Chris, missed that post. I forgot about the oil can, but I think plastic might be easier to clean.

 

[ozzy1977]

No worries , Mikes bin would be better and I think the oil can would be too low.
I have not been able to get the post hole digger, the garage/she/barn thing it was in has just been rebuilt, and my uncle hasn't put things back yet, still for a 18th century building this is the first thing done to it, cant complain too much.

 

[ozzy1977]

Anyone want me to bring lathe chisels?

 

[Big Stu 12]

As Simon Has Droped out of this meet and he was doing the Skill Share, I am bringing some sheets with tarp set ups on, and we will still do the skill share using the knowledge of every one at the meet,

I will be bringing with me a 4x4, 3x3, 4.5x3, East German Ponco Tarp,I am not sure which one i will use yet, Can I ask those that have different ways of setting up tarps please come forward and help out.

Sorry for the Inconvenience, but the group has been let down in this case .

 

[crosslandkelly]

I'll do the tarpology bit then Stu. I was obviously destined to do it.

 

[mikesmith777]

I've got a few methods which I can share and will also bring all my tarps, 3'x3',4'x4', Army Basha and some Plastic Sheeting.

 

[ozzy1977]

I can pack a couple of walking poles as they have turned up today

Thank you Colin,

I know my Tarpology is OK for my needs, But for others looking for a larger verity I am a bit limited..., I've still got the printed Sheets that I will bring . and I packed my full set of tarps.

 

[roman-soldier]

I've got post hole diggers if they are needed let me know, I will also be 3 nights.
For interest I will be doing hammock and ground dwelling using the same quilts but modified, should be a good weekend.
