It has to be a time we can ALL do. Wouldn't be the same to be a man down.

We organised it before, we will do it again.

Yeah will have to put our heads together, and have a good long think

I'm actually think about aproaching some farmer's and asking if we can practice a little ''bushcraft'' so we can have a proper fire

I will just rejoin with my secret allias

Nez,

Would be great to have you along. I am interested in seeing your tattoos and the MT you carry. It'd be good to hear your para stories as well. I have trained with some of them just last year in a CBN course and we could compare notes.

Mike, Lord of the Spammers! · **Reply #160 on:** July 11, 2008, 11:32:04 PM

Yep, and despite the army being stupid enough to not want me to join (

) I still love the forces, and have got a lot of time for folks who've served

nezza33 · **Reply #161 on:** July 11, 2008, 11:32:43 PM

That would be a time to remember mate!I would also bring all my gear if people wanted to have a look and see some military stuff.

Mike, Lord of the Spammers! · **Reply #163 on:** July 11, 2008, 11:34:58 PM

Yep, all cool military gear is welcome

I'll even bring my big (destroyer of worlds) kukri next time

Well I had the choice of the Army Air Corps, the RAC, either of those would have been cool, but I was starting to lean toward joining the Green Jackets

nezza33 · **Reply #165 on:** July 11, 2008, 11:37:31 PM

My mate was in the Green Jackets!

Mike, Lord of the Spammers! · **Reply #166 on:** July 11, 2008, 11:38:22 PM

J-sews · **Reply #176 on:** July 12, 2008, 12:42:34 AM

Outstanding pictures and conversation guys. I'm enjoying every post in this thread. Makes me feel like I was there - makes me wish I really was there even more! What a great time it seems everyone had.

And look at all those knives and tools! Incredible! I see a couple items there that passed through my hands....guess that's the closest I could come to actually being there myself. Thanks fellas!

Tarrodemierda · **Reply #177 on:** July 12, 2008, 01:11:27 AM

youll need some vintage trench-knives to protect that treasure.

Leatherman123 · **Reply #178 on:** July 12, 2008, 02:51:13 AM

What about the bottle opener vid?

Hoghead · **Reply #179 on:** July 12, 2008, 03:11:25 AM

Thanks all!!!

I have enjoyed this thread. I can only imagine how much fun it would have been to have been with you. I almost get all misty eyed just thinking about cooking chili on a camp stove and using a corkscrew to open wine. Then battleing the elements and sleeping on the ground. Then for iceing on the cake you get to play with knives and multitools.

I will admit that I use two sleeping pads under my bag because I'm big and I sleep on my side, plus my favorite camping spot is pretty much all rock. That ground looks pretty soft compared to my last few camp sites. I liked all the photos, but I think my favorite was the one with the golf flag.

Thanks again for shareing.
