Were gonna need a bigger camp

So what do you think, ive a three season sleeping bag, and il be wearing a marino wool baselayer, that should be enough to get a bit of a sleep eh?

[surfnscenic]

Sleeping bag?  Don't be soft.  You'll probably have the price of  a bag of coal in ya so you'll not be needing any extra layers. 

Anyway, what's this sleep thing ?

you can boil them in water, which will soften them up, and when there fully soften then there ready to eat. you can check them with a fork every so often to see if they are soft.
to make the cooking faster and less gas, have a flask full of hot water ready so the water can boil up quicker. unless ur using the campfire to cook you won't need flask of boiling water.

I hope this helps. as I would have to do the carrots the same way.

That's an excellent set-up, just about to head to a friends house to lend a hand with his home brew, Sloe Gin, Elderberry Wine, Haw Wine, Crab Apple Cider, and some Krupnik, don't think any will be ready this year but it's gonna be a fantastic summer

Like TypoOn,im lookin forward to the christmas camp as well, ive seen lots of new people join the forum lately and it will be good to put some faces to names, im hopin for a good nite out although i havnt checked the weather yet .

[Matthew]

Would a few people pack a hatchet or small folding saw to process timber into burnable sizes?
If the weather is grim fire lighting might be a problem so I will throw in a fire log to get us started.

[Mourneman]

A hiking buddy of mine wants to come along with me if that's ok,he's some crac,& quite a good singer,I'll pack a hatchet,no problem
