Swift Valley - Long Weekend ( Pics)

[MartinK9]

What a great few days at Swift Valley, all packed full of various activities,

Knife Sharpening, Stool Making ( the sitting kind ), digging a Gypsy Well, Skinning a deer with Flint, Fire by Bow Drill, Shelter Making, Jerky Making, Stews, Roasts etc ...etc...

Met old friends and made some new from Bushcraft Living - thanks to everyone for making it a great first Meet. Hope to see you all again soon..

Bigger photos would help us see the detail. More pics would be nice

Jerky tree photo is an interesting colour combination.

I am no good at this IT malarky, they are either this size or full screen

I agree. They were amazingly sharp and did the job with ease

Looks like a great time, thanks for sharing the story and the awesome photos.

Like BOD, I do wish the first ones were larger though.
