We do have some fun with customers chasing sleeping bags.

When looking for a new bag some people get obsessed by size or weight and don’t put the other considerations in place.

You have to remember that a Sleeping bag only has one way of generating heat and that is you.

I have a several questions I ask everybody when selling bags.

Who is the bag for? Men and women sleep at different temps so what will be suitable for you normally isn’t always good for your partner.

Last weekend ( 20th June) I was invited out to help a local Cadet unit ( the leader is an old mate of mine)

I ran the session on camp ovens ( Dutch, cast iron) and a simultaneous session on safe use of a Block splitter ( to feed the coals for the ovens )

We did a couple of cakes and then 8 chooks ( chickens) in 6 Dutch ovens and one large Bedourie oven.

I had about 190 kids attended my bit all of them got to swing the block splitter (Fiskars power axe, some of the girls could barely lift it) Thanks to Mors and “Bushcraft” I got them to do it on their knees. They all left with the same number of toes they started with.

Kids at the Briefing Sat morning.
