Not as sweet as mince pies, and a wee bit furry, but all in all very scrummy and nutritious  :D

I had a good experience meeting up with NI-Wild members.  Not least to sit patiently and salivating whilst watching the leg of lamb slowing revolving in the heat of the fire.  Starters was lobster and then spicy rabbit.  What else would you have?!

The camp was a good set up and the culinary expertise of Mr Dowser and Matt was greatly appreciated as was evidenced by the clean plates and acceptance of second and indeed third helpings.

As the evening progressed the rain came as forecasted, .  The tarps did their best to stave of the worst of the downpour and along with the company and quantities of fine wines the evening trundled along nicely.

Supper was served shortly after the arrival of Laim and Mr & Mrs Spud, who deserve credit for settting off from the warmth of their homes on such an univiting evening.

Great photos of a great nights outdoors.

Thank you to all who were there.

What a great night, it was a real struggle to leave the warm house, especially as i could feel a bit of a man flu coming on, but once i was in the car there was no turning back. Yes i got soaked, mainly from emptying the tarp down my arm, and someone else tried to empty it down my back  ;D , But stayed fairly dry overall despite sitting outside in the rain, no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing  ;D . Great to meet Mrs Spud, couldn't shut her up all night  :D  . Thanks for the lamb supper, mulled wine and g&t, i got well laquered, i think Andy got the gin and tonic bottles mixed up and gave me too much  :o  didn't get to bed til 2.15am. My toes were like ice cubes which stopped me having a great sleep, so bit shattered today and still haven't downloaded my photos yet. Overnight min in the tent was 3 deg. We were blessed with such a glorious morning to make up for the wet night. Forgot to do a wee collection, but sure you can donate online at http://www.justgiving.com/mournemrt and if donating £10 or over i'll make sure you get a copy of the MMRT 50th anniversary magazine  :) .

The Cold Steel SRK (Survival Rescue Knife)



Survival/Rescue operations demand a versatile knife able to withstand the most extreme abuse. The Cold Steel SRK (Survival Rescue Knife), standard issue of the United States Navy Seals , was designed specifically with this in mind. The blade is finished with a rich Teflon© coat which helps to protect the AUS 8A Stainless steel from the elements. The Cold Steel SRK Survival Rescue Knife features a tremendously strong clip point that's fine enough for delicate work, yet possesses enough belly for efficient cutting, slashing and skinning strokes as well. At 3/16 of an inch thick, the Cold Steel Survival Rescue Knife© offers the sturdiest possible point and edge configuration, without sacrificing sharpness. The Cold Steel SRK Survival Rescue Knife's handle sports a single quillion finger guard and a deeply checkered Kraton© grip.

Overall Length: 10 3/4"
Blade Length: 6"
Blade Thickness: 3/16"
Blade Material: Japanese AUS 8A Stainless Steel with Black Teflon Finish Sharp
Handle Length: 4 3/4" - Kraton
Knife Weight: 8.2 oz.
Sheath: Secure-Ex Sheath
Fully Functional and Battle Ready

It's now my second favourite piece of kit

So what is your favourite bit of kit?

Where did you get the knife, what were the options and how did you decide on this knife?

Perhaps a new thread on knives would be appropriate.
