Water Badger 26 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Just back from a cracking weekend in good company went out to a wood in Sussex with some friends to refresh our skills, First night after getting shelters up one of the lads had some crayfish he had trapped (yes he is licensed by the EA) so the pot was boiled and some trout prepared. Usual score 8 mins each to ensure colour has changed then cool and break open a surprising amount of meat in the claws! But mainly the tail. Neat day nice lay in Pancakes Maple syrup and bacon Then off for forage, lots of young nettles so nettle soup it was Then a bit of fire by friction covering collection of timber preparation etc Lots of other subjects were covered, Knife sharpening/safe use Shelter building Game prep Kit selection Thanks for looking if intrested look here www.bisonbushcraft.co.uk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bullmastiff 610 Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I'd be interested, going to try and start getting away for trips out again. Used to do it a lot when I was a younger and would like to see what's new. Cheers Luke Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Col_c88 41 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Looks good! Wish my mates were into the same stuff I am. I would love to just f*** off away for a couple days and live off what i could forage/hunt. Theres a pretty decent sized wood in one of the farms I have a permission, I would try that first haha. Cant wait till' the baby is born and a bit older, hopefully she will be into all that stuff and I will have someone to do that kind of stuff with! No chance of getting anything sorted soon though due to awaiting MRI results on my foot and unable to walk without alot of pain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
