Hey guys, is anyone heading down the Sunday morning?

Ideally, I'd like to scrounge a lift please.

Was going to camp, but I don't finish work on Boucher Rd until 5:45 on the Saturday and the meet up is at 5:00. Are there any other late people? Maybe we could work something out there, but don't want to give the lads hassle on their Saturday night.

Time to hoke out the paracord, proof the boots, and sharpen the knife  :D

Hi all,

Course is now full.

Sorry to all the people with larger groups who we had to turn down this time. There will be another course soon.

You can post or fill out the booking form in word and send it back.

Look forward to meeting you all.

Nearly time to get the knives out.............safely of course ;D

It was great on Saturday past; cold but dry. Hopefully it'll come 'round  :)

Not that a drop of rain will stop us  ;D

I fear I may have failed the course even before it's started: I dug my wee Mora out...she's in a bad way, carbon steel all corroded and non too sharp...poor wee girl's not ever had anything tougher than a packet of bacon in a long while. If someone can bring a sharpening steel along I would be very grateful.

I had to buy some paracord from greenman bushcraft and ended up buying a "Frosts Mora Bushcraft Training Knife" no idea if it will do but it says bushcraft and training in title so sounded good .

Looking forward to this and a night under the clear sky's

I have a Fallkniven DC4 stone I'll be bringing; diamond on one side, ceramic on the other. Like this http://www.thebushcraftstore.co.uk/fallkniven-dc4-combination-sharpening-stone-3986-p.asp

I do have paracord somewhere but just can't find it  ::) Plenty of odds that equal 30ft+ though  ;D

You can glue wet & dry paper to flat bits of wood, say a 600 and a 1200 for finer. Bit of water or WD40. Works if you don't have a sharpening stone!

Hello all,

Glad to see the preparations for Sunday coming on well.

You cant go wrong with a Mora knife. We use them ourselves a lot of the time.

Corroded Mora. Get yourself some really fine steel wool and give it a good rub over with that. For sharpening you could get a ceramic chefs sharpening rod from IKEA, cheap and excellent. The DC3/4's are excellent and i use one myself.

Mouse mat works well but you can end up with a convex grind if your not careful as the paper can bend around the edge as you strop it.

Weather-Looking good for Saturday and Sunday. If it rains we will still be going ahead. It will be more challenging of course, but in challenge there is achievement.

Any other questions please email us.

Thanks

Andy

Cheers will do.

The rains been bouncing in Larne for the last couple of hours, I'm sure it will be all blown out by tomorrow. ;)

Catch you all tomorrow. (I'm the big tall feller in a silver Xtrail)

I'll be up before 9pm hopefully. Weather's looking to blow over tomorrow  :)

If someone can give me (and my bike - wheels can come off) a lift back to Belfast on Sunday eve would be much appreciated. I'll be knackered by then, and too much to get done for Monday to be waiting around for Sunday buses!

Feeing the jealousy build right now  :P
Sure if you get too jealous just turn your power shower to cold then sit cross legged in the tub and whittle a spoon    ;D ;D ;D
