What are you going to do in 2013

Tony · Jan 9, 2013

I was just thinking of the stuff I've listed for 2013, lots of getting out and enjoying the beaches, walking, camping, reviewing and practicing bushcraft, it got me wondering what you guys have planned when it comes to getting out, bushcraft etc

I think the biggest thing I want to do this year is make more things, oh and def make some wood sprites

Got a trip planned to Galloway forest in march that I'm really excited about. I think my other objective this year to try and stay out at least once a month and try out some more crafty projects. Had a pile of leather in the shed ive not done anything with yet.

Buy a shed load of kit ... just because I want a kitroom :naughty:

Make it to the Moot.

Maybe an expedition to the jungle or desert (work depending though).

Operation LARA - there was a thread the other day about a walk through the Alps (starting at the German / Austrian border). I think I might fancy getting an ice cream in Italy. You know, just for fun ... out for a little stroll

Well iv not got a whole year decinate plan, but the first few months I'm going on a winter bushcraft course, I'm going on my first backpacking trip overseas to Estonia in march. And hoping to have a trial run of that trip in feb.

But my aims throughout the year are-

Get some basic bushcraft skills to a tee so I have no problem lighting fires and sharpening knifes etc

Get out at least once a month

Lighten my pack load, hopefully new skills will help me to stop packing the kitchen sink ( although my latest kitchen sink is a lot lighter lol)

Shift a load of excess body weight and improve my general fitness, it was hard work getting up a mountain in Wales!!

Learn to see and make my own gear

It would be great to attend a more advanced class later in the year and try to get to a few more meets too!!

So I guess I have a fair few aims really!! Lol

All the best
Steve

More walking/wild camping and longer stays in the woods.

At Easter my son and I are planning a trip to Dharamsala in the Indian Himalayan foothills, home-in-exile of the Dalai Llama. He's been before; I haven't. So he will be in charge. Hopefully we'll get a bit of trekkiing in.

4 day paddle n camp down the Spey with Mrs Windy sans Chaos n Mayhem late April.

Assisting Leon Durbin from Wildwood Bushcraft with Survival Weekend course in the Trossachs mid April.

Gozo for two weeks with the whole Filterhoose clan in June, and hopefully the 'moot in August if we can take twins out of school. Yip ours go back quite early.

It's gonnae be a busy year.

I have lots of craft projects left still to complete from last year.First one is to handle up my Dave Budd blade , then the kit I got for Christmas Brantub , 3 Svord peasant mods to complete , 1 axe to re-haft.
When I've done that i want to make a paddle for my canoe and get on another Woodsmoke course ; maybe bowmaking.
I want to learn new skills and get better at canoeing so I can go out more and sleep out too.So much to do I need to get well and fit again very soon!
If half of it comes off it will be a miracle! Oh and I need to rationalise the kitheap too ; I have way too much kit for someone with no spare time.
Cheers , Simon

Off to the Arctic in 4 weeks, then Austria in March, Eastern Europe in July, Moot in August and Tenerife in September... After that I'm not sure

John Fenna · Jan 9, 2013

My big plans (?) are to have a real holiday with my wife (the third in 30 plus years...) and plans are advanced for a couple of weeks in Orkney

That and the Moot plus as many weekends in the woods as possible just about cover it realy....

stafass · Jan 9, 2013

Pass Santiago de Compostelo (France/Spain) in the end of summer, and maybe Kungsleden/Kings trail (Sweden).

crucible · Jan 9, 2013

Build a shed in my backyard that will be a man cave, as well as a ski tuning and waxing center, and an archery workshop- it'll have power, but I plan to heat it with a Camping Solutions woodstove that I got last year.

Teepee · Jan 9, 2013

Cairngorms camp in a couple of weeks, hopefully to haul some sled about the place if theres snow.

2 weeks hammocking in the Arctic in February at the Jokkmokk meet.

Little camp with the guys before going to Estonia for a week at easter.

Spend the summer prepping for the winter play again-Alaska/Canada looking likely.

I want to further my climbing and sea kayak tuition this year too.

resnikov · Jan 9, 2013

Yorkshire 3 peaks in one day in June
Try and meet a few more BCUK people in the flesh
Get a few more hammocking trips in.
