Yep I'm going.

Basha for me and a Storm Shield tent for my friend. Not sure what to expect as I couldn't go to last years. Still haven't got my badge tho. Anybody got any ideas for anything that would be useful, or any stupid things that I shouldn't bring?

I'll be with another irritating kevin teenage type for the whole weekend, i'm sure we'll stand out becasuse we wont have a clue whats going on-seriously tho say hi if u're BCUK we don't bite!

While Jamie and I sit about all weekend taking a well earned rest, drinking tea! :naughty:

I can confirm that I have been witness to the above and they really are past masters of the art. I've never seen two people consume so much tea in such a short space of time, and still crack off enough jokes to have everyone rolling around laughing :o):

Thank Kelley for his kettle. :rolmao:

Hi guys, nice meeting you last weekend

I'm toying with the idea of bimbling along for a day, but I probably won't lug the forging kit with me!
Oh I don't see why not ... you don't have to take the Steinway too :o):

But if you did .. you could come up with some kind of piston that attached to a stationary bicycle to run the bellows and put Julian in the saddle ;)
 
I was unable to attend last years event and I’m wondering what to take for my sleeping arrangements.
Are most people in tents? Is the camping located in a wood with enough tree’s for hammocks etc?

Den, last time there were people all over, there is woodland, there are clearings in the woods, I think the Majority of people last year were in tents though :-)
 
Hi, I made it down there on Sunday - cool show and a good chance to meet people who up until now were only names to me.

Definately inspired me to go further in search of bushcraft knowledge.

Big thank you to Cindy from the trading post, Gary from Bearclaw, jeremy from Islay birding for your time and for being so approachable when confronted by this dumb Canuk. :You_Rock_
 
I had a really enjoyable weekend, nice to meet up with a few of you, so to Chris, stuart, dan, Jamie, Jack, Gary, thanks very much for your company and conversation. To anyone there I missed,sorry, catch up with you in the future.
