Really appreciate the time you've taken in writing that up, really enjoyed reading it. Kudos on completing the challenge
Been meanng to read this for days - made it! Thanks for a grand write-up and pix ... and several tips for beginners like me . I must learn to make those cooking contraptions !!! Looks like you had a really good time in a lovely place, love those forest roads, we had them in a wood I used all the time as a teenager, reminds me
Copper, had you thought of collecting the rainwater in the tarp? I always get a stash after some rain, even if it only seems a little. I don't always use it but I could with the Billbank Bag and the fire. Would definitely have been in line with your challenge
fantastic write up fella! great pics too!
Really enjoyed reading this Kit, dead jealous but thanks for sharing. Really detailed account of a fantastic time out in the woods.
Great report bud
I really like modern kit but will be fun to challenge myself and go more traditional

Get plenty of pics pretty please?
Have a mooch through the challenge thread and the suffolk bushcraft groups boone thread. Loads of info in them.
'The beaten track is for beaten men'..??
is the use of a bivibag allowed instead of a bedroll..?
That was a great report! Reading this has really made me want to do this now - just need to get in gear and actually make myself do it, looks and sounds like a lot of fun
Do it, get as close as you can to the kit list, don't worry if your not exact.. as you can see from the Suffolk one, there was a mix of kit... You'll learn loads
and remember its Sam's fault
First thing is to have a bash at making a canvas bedroll
The bedroll is not really needed, Colin wrapped his blanket in his 3x3 DD tarp to carry it...
Ah fair enough, I've still been wanting to have a go at one though I also don't have a tarp at the mo as my one got destroyed from pure idiocy on my part So I was also gonna make a canvas tarp at the same time..
