    I am going to have to stay in the woods as thats the only place that camp fires are allowed (dutch oven cooking for this trip). I don't think it will be a problem as I am having a good sort out of the stuff and reduced it down drastically anyway. I don't know if any scouts are present, if they are I could wear my leaders uniform and get it carried for free!

    The Scouts are there every year, helping out with the car parking, kit unloading etc. Good bunch of lads.

    Once again I'm in awe of the bushcraft addage : "know more, carry less". Always lots of folk with a car full of stuff to carry

    dutch ovens are great, but they are heavy. I bet most of the people with the heaviest cooking kit on site will also be the ones with the lightweight sleeping arrangements. I'm normally the other way around, my cooking kit is normally a single bronze pan and a small kettle; where as I bring a stufred estate car with me for the rest of my gear (but it is my stall at the show!)

    If it was me alone its definately a case of as little as possible but when the family is going it becomes a whole different game. Everything multiplied by four, air beds, bigger tent, portable kitchen...
