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.
Sweet, I'm sorted now, just received my 7" speed clips, snugpak sleep mat and Pretzl Head torch with red filter so I dont blind people again LOL........ Ready for the weekend now. Happy happy
Awesome! And I just got my new surprise toy which I'll be testing out this weekend before the Xmas meet
Perhaps not such a good idea to go bushcrafting anywhere near the zoo in Colechester until this animal is found!
After cutting my hand on Sunday attempting my first spoon, I thought I had better get back on the horse and this is my first effort.
still needs alittle more work, but I'm happy.

Nicely done, Mike
Your handle is more neatly rounded than mine (as is your bowled section, now that I think about it).
I bow before a superior craftsman!
Wouldn't be so sure of that, mate
Sliced into the knuckle on my left index finger with the carving knife.
Took a chunk out of my left thumb with the crook knife (which has left a scar but otherwise is healing nicely)
Pinched a nerve in my right index finger (at the middle knuckle) so much it is badly bruised and the tip of that finger has no feeling what-so-ever (still).
Sliced the tip of my right middle finger (along the side, behind the nail) with the tip of the crook knife
I'll grant you, though, the nature of the cuts are pretty laughable... it's just because I've been keeping the knives razor sharp, so even a gentle brush against the skin results in a papercut-esque bleeder.
Good news about the delivery's
well I been digging in my kit... and looks like I may even be going back to the good old mess tins this weekend, and the Hexi is coming out as well... not used the Mess tins for about 30 years...
...
Na mate just get used to using it...
.. cuts are just part of the game.. you will end up with less as you learn....
Thanks Stu,
the hand is getting better, well strapped up, had to have the last two days off, but now getting a lot more movement with my fingers, so back to the grind tomorrow.

Thanks Colin, not sure of the wood,
I picked up a couple of logs in the area that I tried out the Lavvu and tarps. They had been there for a while so yes it could be ash, as there were a few Ash trees about, and as I have just looked up spalted, spalted ash is what it could be. I still have a couple of lengths if you would like one?
I don't know. You could pretend that you're in Canada, just need to release one of the bears and we're sorted.
