I am up for something on saturday- what and where ?

[lannyman8]

hope to do some meat smoking and just have a bimble and see whats about. if you want a rabbit or 2 let me know and i will get you some. i want to try tanning the skins to.
im not sure on the area as im new to N/Yorks area im near Thirsk and want to stay local ish if possible, but any mixed wooded area would be good but beggers cant be choosers as they say. let me know if you have an area in mind.

thanks chris.....

[bigbear]

Well that sounds good to me- dont know the area- why dont you suggest a time and place, I will meet you there, anyone else want to join us ?
Would be very happy to buy a couple of rabbits off you. Tanning I know nothing about- very happy to learn.

[lannyman8]

hey up bigbear think i have found a place that we could use and you can have the bunnies for nout....... i know nothing about tanning either only what i have read here but want to give it a go, we can try it together.

will p/m you the location mate....

[scrogger]

whats the crack then who, when, where, why, I may be at a loose end and thirsk is about an hour or so from me. A good spot for a bimble close to you is Goremire Lake up near Sutton Bank.

[lannyman8]

hope to meet up at osmotherly ( cod beck reservoir ) and go to a small wood just up the road and do some stuff by the fire. ive got bunnies coming so want to try and tan the hides as best as i can (first time tanning) and smoke the meet. p/m ,me if yopu want the actual location.

[Native Nathan]

Hey lannyman8,

Have you been there lately?
What's the terrain like down there, with all the snow we have had lately, is it boggy or swamped?

[lannyman8]

looking at the map it should be ok its in a slight gully with a stream at the bottom infact a bit steep but should be ok. not been there before but the snow should all be gone by now the roads will be fine for sure unless its realy cold again, maybe some ice ????

[Front Room Woodlander]

Whats is the OS grid reference, I might be able to sneak away for couple hours on Saturday.

[lannyman8]

will post them when a get home as thats where the map is.

[Native Nathan]

Sounds good so far, Anyone panning on making this an over nighter?

[Peterlee_Paddler]

If I feel well in the morning I may be up for this.

[Front Room Woodlander]

I cant do over night cos of child care. However I'm happy to pop in for a brew and lend a hand with the bunnies.

[Native Nathan]

Peterlee_Paddler,

How your feeling better, if you are, are you making it an over nighter?

[lannyman8]

i have not been to the area yet so over night will be a later date maybe half term????

its only a small wood and not sure what we will be able to d there but hey go look see.

if all turns bad and the location is no good there are a few woods around the area that are bigger and we could look at.

for all those wanting rabbits ive only got 4 coming due to the lack of intrest early in the week, but let me know if you want some or 1 and will phone my mate to see if he can get some more for me tonight.

will give grid ref on here later when i get home...... thanks all.......chris

[Native Nathan]

yes Chrismate I'll have one of those Wabbits........lol
And you can have the Skin

[lannyman8]

nathan what stuff are you bringing with you ie cooking pots etc....????

[Chambers]

Would love to get to this but think it may be a bit too late for me? Also it would be my first time meet up for sole bushcraft so may feel a bit shy :-s

[Front Room Woodlander]

If you are intending on using the skins for pouches, have your friend skin them like a glove rather than slit and paunch. Makes for less stiching later. You will need a blunt knife for scrapeing the flesh and some salt for curing (intial).
I have googled the cod beck site and am now in aggressive negotiations for the car. I may have to bring a child with me but I promise not to let it off the lead near live stock.

[lannyman8]

hey all, the place i have in mind is.
its 2 small woods tucked out of the way but is close to the road.

what time do people want to meet up and where, at the lake car park or at the site.

[lannyman8]

the skins are still on the bummy will be getting them 2 moz morning.

[Native Nathan]

hey Chris what do you want me to bring, I was only going to bring my crusader metal mug

but i can bring some hanging billy cans if you want

Hey Chambers its never too late, and its my first meet with anyone from here as well

so why not pop down and we can be shy together lol

[lannyman8]

metal mug is good i like basic and this will be my first meet to. i have never even been to a moot or any thing no courses im self taught from ray bear and bushcraft uk.

so bring it on im sure we will all be fine if a little quiet at first lol....

[Chambers]

What time is everyone meeting? Im on a motorbike so hope it will be safe :-s will have a check I can get down because I really fancy it
