Great pics Tank and Snarf. :)

[Twodogs]

Some megga photos there ,
nice one Gents.
Twodogs

[TinkyPete]

nice phots. I see muddy has dried out in the heat and is now Dave :)

Nice set-ups a really good use in showing how many different ways of putting up a tarp, but Cliff's basha is the most camouflaged.

Next meet I can make is in August, been out on the plain a lot but no bushcrafting :(

[Elines]

What a great meet - hope to be down there before too long

[sasquatch]

What, no pictures of Tank's Ray Mears potato tongs? Best £35 you can spend! Crackle logs really bring out the flavour...

[Wayland]

Looks like a great weekend.

Just sorry I couldn't be there. :(

[sticks65]

Looks like you guys had a great time.

Nice photos.

[DaveBromley]

glad you fellas had a good time and looks like the weather didnt turn out too bad for you aswell you lucky bunch, it is nice to put a few faces to names also lol

Dave

[hanzo]

Aloha guys. Looks like a great outing.
