Default Suffolk Boone Challenge Meet
2 Night Boone Challenge being the 12th 13th 14th Sept, just a static Base camp one,
Stansfield, Nr Bury st Edmunds, Suffolk
Normal Cost £15
reminder of kit list
Kit List
Keep as close to the list as possible, as the idea is to experience the camping methods, not just to use modern equipment......that we are comfortable with
Waterproof Tarp.
2 Wool Blankets and canvas type swag or Bedroll ie Czech or Similar. - No Roll Mat
Two Knives - Changed as I have found that a smaller knife was sometimes carried for general use in the Possibilty Bag
Axe or Saw, a choice of one - As a matter of interest I cannot find any reference to Saws being carried....
Flint and Steel Not Ferro Rod, I have found some references to Lucifers... these were the sulphur matches of the day, not common at all, but may be used. No modern day matches
Tinder box/Pouch with tinder types from the period, no modern materials i.e. NO Cotton Wool and Vaseline.
Water Bottle
Billy Can and Lid.
Cup.
Spoon Only
Food - Keep to foods of the time, No Boil in the bag or modern dehydrated meals, or tins.
Candle/Lantern for lighting.
Rucksack/Bag to carry items in- OLD School type.....
Safety Items
Small Torch for EMERGENCY use only...
Phone this only to be used to keep the other half happy, and let them know you are safe, or in an Emergency. To be Turned OFF any other time.
First aid kit
Medication Tablets (and I dont mean ones for the internet)
Crossland Kelly Has offered to do a group meal for one of the evening, he is thinking something like a Roast Chicken, Corn on the Cob and Potatoes, cost to be split by those that take part, please let him Know if you are wanting it.
