Sussex Bushcraft group meet for March: 24th/25th at Broadstone Warren

[jackcbr]

And what's the issue with coming from Hampshire then? Don't let them bully you Ninja, I don't live in either east or west Sussex. I'm a Hampshire ex pat living in Surrey, we can have our own ghetto camp.

In case people haven't spotted it yet, but this meet is when the clocks go forward. So that will be an hours less snoring this time round.

Parenting fail. Wasn't til I got home I remembered its my boys 1st birthday on 24th! And apparently he doesn't want to come camping, so i'll have to give this one a miss unfortunately.

So a normal night's camping, then?

He won't know if you're not there. Start as you mean to go on

The wife may notice at some point though - mainly cause there won't be any reply to her incessant moaning. Looks like I'll be driving round Whipsnade zoo instead

 

[spandit]

The 1st birthday party is the easiest - most of the babies won't be walking. It's subsequent ones where it goes nuts!

Define 'camping'

Wasnt sure if it was snoring or a chainsaw, but as there didn't seem to be any missing trees, I guessed it was snoring. Not that it bothered me. But I think the earth moved for Spandit in the night and not they way he hoped.

 

[spandit]

I thought Jesus was killing the Gadarene swine... nearly wet my russet blanket...

 

[Neumo]

Snoring I don't know what you mean... I have not heard any snoring at these meets. Foam earplugs are worth having though.

I best get the forge out to check that it is all working & check that all the tools are there. I have a couple of roughed out 01 knife blanks we can have a go at hammering an edge on.

 

[Kepis]

Im hoping to see the local Farrier prior to the next meet so will see if he has any old rasps we can have - keep you posted

 

[Hugo]

I like fettling do I.
Finished making my HSS draw knife yesterday, going to try it out this morning on some spatulas.
As to snoring, there should be two camps one for those who do and one for those who don't.
I wonder which camp I'd be in.

you're right about the need for 2 camps, but I think your names are wrong. It should be "those that do" and "those that lie that they don't"

 

[spandit]

Don't you have to be asleep to snore? Not guilty, m'lud

 

[hemdale]
