dam you bet me Toby.. wonderful thing this internet you can find out assort of rubbish then post it...lol

LOL Yep we were looking at it for coating race engine parts today.......... Thought it was a spoof, but it actually exists apparently. People spray moto x bikes and 4x4's with it so enough for boots cant be that expensive.

A helve i no problem, just a bit of work and a few hrs , easier with an axe tho for the rough carving .. sorry just had to say that

 

[ozzy1977]

I was going to give them a look, but I doubt that they would have been able to beat the price I have paid and they are an hour away.

 

[Iambosscat]

no worries, I do have a hand axe, but alas it would not be one you would approve of bud

Went for a walk to clear my head of exam revision today.
I try and get out as much as possible. Test my (almost non-existent apparently) skills. Testing my new gear (bottle/mug, bahco saw, mora knives)

Cup of tea and a boil in the bag for dinner. Also a rat pack tropical drink for the vitamins (been deficient of good food the last few days, since revision and all, I've just eaten beans on homemade bread toast)
Silly selfie in there too. I know none of you know who I am or what I look like. Silly is the answer.
Anyway, Pictures.

Sorry for the large post, clogging your conversation, just trying to get to know people a little.

These woods, were a pile of crap. It was the worst kept wood I've ever seen. Period. It was basically just a mountain biking area with ramps and stuff in. The place was like a landfill site, Rubbish, tins, cans, old gas bottles and bags.(see the 1664 can I opened out to make a windbreak for the hexiburner) And there was also a safe someone had nicked and taken up there to crack it open.
I won't be returning. At least I got some exercise, I got to stalk a squirrel right up close for 15 mins or so, and found myself a decent fork to make a slingshot with. (now ordering some theraband from ebay) Well impressed with the Mora knife though. I'm abusing it a lot, putting it through its paces, and it hasn't dulled a bit. Bargain.

 

[ozzy1977]

Which wood was it?

 

[Iambosscat]

Wolves Wood I reckon.

nice brew, how many hexi tabs did you use?

 

[ozzy1977]

I hope you left the wood in a better condition than you found it.

Steve, Chris, at the last meet Carl handed me these arrows Thank you very much Carl ..I am hoping to re-fletch them and use them

Been trying to find out what they are


I take it from the number it is 23/64" Diameter dam near 11/32" with a 12 thousands wall thickness.. they are 31" long as well.

The other Letters Are "CAE X-Caliber" Think they are ali, but they don't have the cold feel of metal, I have found out Easton used to make arrow for CAE..

No problem, always good to see people getting out and about, and great to share experiences, its a shame when you see what some do to the wild , kit has to start of somewhere, and not always good to start off with the top of the range, and become an "all the gear no idea"..... Think a know some of these....

The Mora is a very good knife, loads of us use them..

Thanks for sharing

 

[Iambosscat]

ha ha.......... all the gear no idea.......... that's me.

 

[Big Stu 12]

I used two because it was getting late. I took a folded up square of tinfoil with me and used it as a lid

Which wood was it?

wild wood/woodingdean in Brighton (I'm at university)

I hope you left the wood in a better condition than you found it.

Dude, Impossible. I couldn't have made a scratch on the rubbish there. I'll go back and document it if you like. The only bins in the area (entrance) had been torn apart by seagulls and left in a 30m radius.
I'm registering a complaint with the council
Green party my ****!!!
