[Dreward]

i forgot it add i have a big bag full of ash burls that i have been collecting will bring them along people can help themselves they will make ideal kuskas

Part of my new kit list is a Grans Fors Kubben....wouldn't mind a look at a lump or two of wood to see if it works....

[Dreward]

not bothered by rain but its nice to have some cover by the camp fire

One big tarp may not be available so we can always put more than one together maybe...

[Blood]

Would love some burls please

[biker-bri]

I have a 3X3 ( approx ) homemade tarp and an army basha we could sling together to make a shelter, would ash burl make nice knife scales ?

[Dreward]

I've just remembered I've got a 3 x 3m approx. plastic tarp with eyelets in, certainly not lightweight but who cares. I don't think I'll get it in the backpack but I'm prepared to hand lug it if need be. Let me know if it's worth bringing....

[Valantine]

If we can get a few smaller tarps we should be OK.
I have 2 ponchos 3 if I can find the missing one in the storage unit

[Valantine]

A burl would be nice to replace the scales on my cheap skinning knife

[Sylvanbilly]

I've put two spare tarps in as well, by all means bring more for the shelter

[ammo]

Bring a chair lads. I've got a 4m tarp but cordage would be a help. There is plenty of dead fall about but maybe some wood, might help.
I expect to be there from 3-4pm. Not possible for me to arrive earlier due too work, but I will try.
I've been working and training while sick this week, can't wait for a few days rest.

[Sylvanbilly]

Just been packing my gear (feels like the kitchen sink is in)
There was me thinking I was going to go light on this one, and my bergen and side pouches are bursting to the seams, If I didn't have to eat or drink I'd only need man bag
