Sussex Bushcraft group meet for MAY: 25th to 27th
- Thread starter Neumo
- Start date
To hang this from a rope would require turning it the other way out & there's no hole to let out smoke
By the way, since I'm putting in an order anyway, Simon suggested I buy the hide from Le Prevo. For 3mm good quality stuff it's about £6 a square foot. They do stuff at half that but it might have the odd scratch or uneven colour - it's all undyed/untreated. What would people prefer?
Right, I've ordered some hide - asked for 13 square feet of the cheap stuff. After delivery and VAT, it comes to about £4 a square foot.
Once I find out the actual size of the hide they're sending, I'll let people know & we can reserve amounts - I suggest we sell it in 1/2sq.ft. units which should be enough to make a sheath or two

I can get it for 50p at the market. 
Just wondered how long it would take Robin to respond. Two minutes.

Nice one, cheers Robin. Jack shame you can't make it, I'm sure you'll still get a sheath though...
Le Prevo haven't confirmed my order yet - I'm hoping to get an email on Monday otherwise I'll call them

That's good. I've ordered a 2" blade. Got 2 handles coming so can get a different blade if my leather skillz come into fruition

You are welcome to come along to this meet & we don't have a limit on the number coming to these meets at this time. The pitches are plenty big enough, so fitting people in is not a problem. Everything you should need to know is in the OP, if you need to know anything else then just ask.
I have just seen this Ad for the Bushcraft show, which has got me thinking:http://www.thebushcraftshow.co.uk/
Would any of you be interested in going to this one? It's £80 from Friday 1st 12pm to Monday the 4th (Jubilee Bank Holiday) = 3 nights & 3 full days at the event.

Unfortunately my mate is getting married that weekend & they might miss the best man but I'll be interested in a review
