I went to Cineworld in Ipswich today to watch "Man of Steel" (which was actually pretty good, but that's not the point of this post).
As I pulled up in the carpark on my bike, I noticed a guy carrying a small OD Bergen. As he walked past me (having parked up and removed my helmet) I decided to complement him on the bag (I like my rucksacks, as many of you know). He told me he had a bigger one at home, so I mentioned my 80-130. He then asked me what I do (or what I use it for). I mentioned Bushcraft, and it turns out he's been an avid bushcraftsman for decades.
Anyway, exchanged numbers and I told him about this group... so perhaps he'll end up joining us!
Nice bloke, had a good chat... comes across as very experienced and would no doubt be a valuable member for this group (if he decides to join us)

What addiction.....
I am keeping my eyes open for a really small caver about, may just get a small 1lb and cut it about...., a draw knife, and a small bowl adze, would also like to do a Hawk up for throwing as well..

I keep meaning to pick up a trail hawk to mod and play with - also after seeing something similar may try and get some hardwood scales made up for my RMJ Kestrel
Yeah that would be good, I have tied Tonys Hawk for chopping but did not like it at all, it did not seem right for some reason, and in a way was more work to cut/split anything, that may well just be my method, and I just need the practice.
One thing I think may be a good Idea after the last meet is running a Axe/sharps safety, care and use sessions, after a couple of moments at the last meeting..... that I witnessed, one being a miss use and lack of care, and one that was all so a miss use that could lead to an injury..
Look at this thread how about this idea for a group shelter.. the Image with the Tarp over..
