Last time I was at the hamlet, there was a guy putting an edge on some high end bush craft knives.

As for the trade idea I think we should if people have stuff. For me tony I would like to see your axes/ large bush knife.

Sparky415 · **Reply #61 on:** March 09, 2012, 09:47:46 AM

I will bring more unneeded stuff to trade for new toys and I will be bringing my bucket of axes etc

Wants List;

Anything by Michael Morris

Al’s new bush knife that he hasn’t got yet

You're subtle, I'll give you that

I don't think I'll have much in the way of trade fodder

I think most of the unloved items have already gone. Of course if there's any tools anyone specifically wants to see ... that I actually own

... just let me know

Oh, hats off to Jeff for withdrawing a couple of tools from the trade forum in order to show 'em at the meet before relisting

Nice one feller

Sparky415 · **Reply #63 on:** March 09, 2012, 10:17:57 AM

I thought I would slip that in

Gareth · **Reply #64 on:** March 10, 2012, 01:27:10 PM

I'm not sure I have much for trade either, but I'll see what I've got. I plan on bringing pretty much all my MT's etc anyway but if anyone has any specific requests then I'll make sure it doesn't get left behind.

Hey boys, can I just check in with you for some details please?
I'm trying to work out if this is doable or not.

Exactly what day(s) is this all happening, is my Ruby dog allowed to come and is there a good spot for my camper van assuming I still own it?!

Ta very much

Farmman · **Reply #66 on:** March 10, 2012, 10:40:15 PM

The dates are the 6-9th April. I beleive some are coming for part and others all. Your dog is more than welcome I have a dog that will be around too. As for the spot for a camper van. The main field is my back garden which does not have access for cars. However I do have a driveway including a fairly secluded bit in front of the garage. Are we talking VW camper or motor home? The other option open to all are the spare bedrooms in the house as the wife and kids will be at the monster in laws.

nuphoria · **Reply #67 on:** March 11, 2012, 01:46:09 AM

Well, having a decent bed in the van or inside is cool with me - very cronky joints not really up to camping these days

The van is a long wheel base Boxer, so fairly big. But if we can make it, being indoors and taking the car would be my first choice! It would be Hedge Kid and myself, so a double would be needed or space for a nest that big!

Entirely up to you sir, as this is your home

badwolf · **Reply #68 on:** March 11, 2012, 02:13:37 AM

I'll be bringing all me bits and bobs that I have left. I'd like a look at these tools if anyone has them, Leatherman Crunch, Wingman/Sidekick, PS4, Gerber Octane, Crucial, any Gerber with the saw/blade exchanger, Dime, Victorinox Cybertool, any model. I have two dogs but will be leaving them in safe hands, would be nice to bring them but they do like a long walk, so best to leave them. I'll be happy to sleep in the garden under me tarp, if that's okay, my little van has enough room to lie down in but I like me tarp

Farmman · **Reply #69 on:** March 11, 2012, 08:24:46 AM

Chrissy pm sent. Jeff I have a crunch and a ps4. If you want to camp that is fine with me. As for the dogs. The attached pic shows how close the local park is. It is fine if you want to bring them. The option is yours.

nuphoria · **Reply #70 on:** March 11, 2012, 02:01:33 PM

Superb Mark, thank for all the info

Ruby is a good dog as the boy will attest, and she mostly wants her ball, cuddles and any spare noms!

nuphoria · **Reply #71 on:** March 11, 2012, 04:03:57 PM

I have a green light guys, Minty myself and Ms Ruby will be joining you

Gareth · **Reply #72 on:** March 11, 2012, 04:13:22 PM

Excellent.

AimlessWanderer · **Reply #73 on:** March 11, 2012, 04:28:09 PM

Looking like a good turnout

badwolf · **Reply #76 on:** March 12, 2012, 09:11:02 PM

This is looking good

oh and if anyone coming has a Wenger Ranger, any model with fold out pliers, I'd love to have a look and play

Gareth · **Reply #77 on:** March 19, 2012, 10:19:12 PM

Woo-hoo! Looks like I'm free on the Monday as well, so am up for whatever the plans might be.

Farmman · **Reply #78 on:** March 19, 2012, 10:25:27 PM

Good stuff Gareth.

Sparky415 · **Reply #79 on:** March 19, 2012, 10:38:02 PM

Farmman

What else do we need to bring?

Fire wood?
Folding chairs?

Not long now

Is that the full weekend then mate?

That bloody Sparky chap's causing me some agro with my debts so that I've got fun toys to show and share

Those senior chaps are supposed to be a mentor and good influence for us young whippersnappers, but not that one

I'll not bother with my axes this time if Tony's bringing his arsenal, so I'll bring some other stuff instead. I think Nuph was put out I didn't bring my Lightsaber last time, so that'll be on the list. I'll also bring my MT's, a few fixed blades and maybe a couple of slippies

Anything else people want to see in particular? (just in case it's at the dingy and I have to plan a trip over in advance) No mail from Travis yet Gareth, but fingers crossed

BEER!!! SAUSAGES!!! SHARP THINGS!!! BEER!!

He's right though Mark, you need to start letting us know what's needed. How you fixed for wood? Is that big upright stuff up for grabs

Have you got any seasoned stuff or do I need to start putting some pallets to one side? Somebody intelligent (i.e. not me) needs to start the PM chain with all the insider info

Sparky415 · **Reply #81 on:** March 19, 2012, 10:59:14 PM

They only keep me around so there's someone to blame

I don't have as many as last time (someone took a bunch home with them Al

)

Folding chairs? (I can bring two)
Wood?
Food?

AimlessWanderer · **Reply #82 on:** March 19, 2012, 11:07:20 PM

I was just trying to save you petrol seen as you had to cart all that wood home with you, especially knowing how far you had to go

Least I could do for you after you agreed to take that bloody horrible LM Pulse thing off me

Are they all secure this year mate, or does Mark need to act as goalie by his windows?

Sparky415 · **Reply #83 on:** March 19, 2012, 11:16:53 PM

Its a bit of a lottery really..... ~~Russian~~ Axe Roulette

Farmman · **Reply #84 on:** March 20, 2012, 12:42:28 AM

Ok tomorrow I will take pics of what is available from a wood point of view. There is at least one small tree which needs to come out but as you have seen in my pics above most have been used for the retaining fence I have erected. However if anyone has a manual chain saw it will be possible to harvest some of the larger branches from some of the bigger trees too. Chairs, we have 4 folders here. There are also 2 park bench type seats and a pub/ picnic table with bench seats attached. Food/ beer. I kind of thought people could bring this if they wish, however within a mile of my house there are at least three supermarkets not including the local coop and cheaper stores such as lidl. Cooking. As well as the bbqs, there is the kitchen although I know when I have camped before I have used my own camp stoves (part of the fun).

Farmman · **Reply #85 on:** March 20, 2012, 09:25:15 AM

Ok this is the wood I have. Really depends how big a fire you want and for how long. We can dig a fire pit (I have permission) or go with the incinerator and or chimenea. I have not been to a meet before so i am unsure what to expect.

Zed · **Reply #86 on:** March 20, 2012, 09:31:15 AM

I hope all you guys have a great weekend, sadly i just realised im on my hols on the 9th and working friday night of that weekend so could not of come anyway $:-\$ hopefully one day ill make a meet

you guys have fun

Sparky415 · **Reply #87 on:** March 20, 2012, 02:26:38 PM

I can probably bring the Gf's BBQ but we will need a few bricks as its still a bit legless

(I will pull it out from where its 'stored' at the weekend

)

@ Mark, That decking should burn well

@ Paul, One day Mate

Farmman · **Reply #88 on:** March 20, 2012, 02:38:07 PM

Really would not bother with the BBQ mate. What I have here we catered for 90 guests at my friends CP celebration. As for the decking ...... The wife will hunt you down and hurt you and not in a good way either!
