Lmao typo, that's what I feel like doing but ill wait till after the mra scan. I can't go to far with this foot and silly moon boot so I'm going to go to a place very close by me in glengromley to have a over nighter. The axe would make easyer work on getting some wood together, I'm so bored and need to get out.

Gransfors axes are excellent and you need to make sure you get the sharpening stone and look after it well. A cheaper alternative may me the Hutafors axes, if there knives are anything to go by id say there well worth a look. Cant beat anything Swedish in my opinion.

Mind you don't get picked up walking round Glengormley with an axe. :o  Actually now I think about it, maybe it isn't that uncommon  ;)

Lol who, ill not wear a track suit and air max. Ill make sure I have on my best haglofs Gear, that way the cops should leave me alone. I'm more worried about keeping the fire from view of anyone, as there is only two places close by (with trees and wood) roads is the problem to draw attention. But I'll go down some day and pick and clear the area I choose to camp, that should sort out the problem.    :D
