I was just wondering what things people were thinking of running workshops in or doing demos of at the BCUK gathering? I have heard that there will be a couple of people doing knife making, one or two doing trapping, and that there will be something on tracking.
Anyone else ready to volunteer what they are planning to demo?
I have been arm twisted into a bowmaking workshop, okay, didn't take TOO much twisting, but I am still trying to work out what it is I am going to do! :roll: :lol: :oT: : -l)
I,m thinking of doing a quick workshop on trapping (I'll try to get Ed to give me a hand)
Chris is doing Longbow making
Rhoda has said the will teach some tracking skills
I'm not sure who is doing the knife making
Somone will be doing fire by friction
If Rhoda needs an assistant for the tracking...

Ditto on that.
I'm not running one myself but if someone wants a hand...
Cheers

I think Jakunen offered to do some 'Camp Cooking' so we best get some rabbits ;-)
Ed
I'll be in the lake district untill 12:00 on the friday so i'll arrive late afternoon
Think I offered to do fire by friction, but I plan to do it as a whole fire lighting lecture.
Those interested in learning fire by friction can grab me after and we'll go through it then, it will be better that way as it takes a long time to learn and one demo wont help much!
nice one gary :biggthump
so thats:
trapping
Long Bow making
Fire by friction (and other methods)
Tracking
Camp cookery
Knife making
sombody asked for info on finding and purifiying water so i'll see if i can sort somthing out for that

Yeah, I did say I'd be prepared to do camp cooking. But not in the Graham Kerr - Galloping Gourmet style (am I showing my age there???). :o):
Also Plant lore if anyone is interested.
I've got some new learning aids I want to get feedback on...
well as I said before, if there is anyone interested in learning how to make Nootka's (its about all I can do mind :wink: ) I am more than happy to have a sit down with them.........
Ok, probably gonna look like Stan Laurel here, but...
Wots wonna dem?
one of these mate Nootka Fish Hook (http://www.bushcraftuk.net/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=154)
Ah I see!
Put me down for a lesson then. Never know when it might come in handy!
Inuit?
This really looks like its going to be a busy weekend.... and there was I hoping for a bit of relaxing time......
:-)
Ed
3 weeks is just too long to wait.
Gary can i take you up on that offer of a 1-1 bow drill session.
cheers,
i'm on for the 1:1 bowdrill please Gman.....or is that 120:1 now?????? :shock:
Suppose I should bring my stuff along and have a practive. Never done it yet but made myself a bearing block and spindle from mulberry so want to see how well that works...

I'm, planning some stalking and camouflage demos, including a night Noise demo!
with Leon and jakunen.
I'm going for Petes forging demo :super:
Stuart,
I don't mind teaching how to set up a Basha & Hammock, if anyone is interested?
I'll ask Leon-1 about doing a set on finding & purifying water, as I know he has a little experience :naughty: in this area.
