What's your long term project for this year?

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I'm thinking about living like a hobo for a year roaming the UK to see if it can be done? To find out what legal pitfalls I might encounter? Then writing about it.

I'd write about it while i was doing it if i were you, the UK blogosphere is not as big as the US' but there are a quite a few really cool blogs, you'd find there's more help, support, encouragement and people to visit than you might have thought. Good luck if you do it, and if you don't, well I enjoy dreaming about it too.
 
Plans for this year?

Take my bags and leave Belgium.
Going to Norway and live in a Yurt, teach other people how to live in nature and respect it.

Then come back, and if everything went like planned, sell everything in Belgium en move to Norway, keeping on doing what i did this year.
 
Every year I set mysef a goal.
Most of the time it's 'learn to be a better forager'.
And every year I fail.
So this year's goal is to not set myself goals but to let whim and whimsy take me wherever it pleases, without agenda or aim.
 
To find myself a job as I was forced to resign last October.
Learn how to use a sewing machine, so that I can make curtains and other useful things.
To go camping. I should qualify that comment by explaining that I'd like to sleep under canvas or a tarp, as opposed to lying awake all night with grumbling insomnia.
 
I suppose "have carnel knowledge of Kylie Minogue" would be aiming a little too high?

Been trying for the past 6 years but the mounting court orders are getting embarrassingly high now.

I'll think of something a bit more achievable and post it later. Still focussed on Kylie right now to even think straight.

Don't put yoursef down, if your under 40, rich & devastatingly handsome, then you have every chance with Ms. minogue, now all you have to do is arrange a chance meeting & your're in................keep us informed with piccies please.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!! :yikes::yikes::yikes::yikes:

Don't even joke about such a union. :nono: Almost lost my dinner at the very thought.

I'm just hoping Kylie is short-sighted... very short-sighted.

My one redeeming feature is that I'm taller than she is... But then most pygmies are taller than her. But at least it's a start.
 
to finish designing the extension on my manspace,...

and subsequently begin actually laying bricks,..

then the rest of the year is gonna be tied up between building it, and getting out under canvas at the weekends,...

Sounds like a worthy project Raikey. Be sure to take plenty of pix, always enjoy seeing projects like that, they're the ultimate DIY jobs.
