I started to feel dizzy as the blood drained from my face.
This was even worse than decorating!
“He’s an old friend and for the last two years you’ve made excuses not to go,” said Mrs Pablo.
“Yes, but London! It’s all concrete and people. It’s…urban!”
“It will do you good to talk to humans.”
“Are you suggesting that my Bushcraft mates aren’t human?”
“That’s debatable!”
“what hammock shall I take?”
Mrs Pablo looked skyward. “We’re booked into a hotel.”
I had visions of Mick Dundee in “Crocodile Dundee” sleeping on the floor by his hotel bed.
“…and you can leave those axes behind as well! One thing that might please you is that it’s a BBQ. You know outdoors cooking and all that.”
“So you think I might be able to help skin something?”
Mrs Pablo unsurprisingly didn’t answer.
So there we have it. A weekend out of my precious and shortening life written off! Gone for ever without seeing anything remotely green or wood-like!
Never mind. I’ve always got the following weekend to look forward to where I will hopefully be doing a video review of the brand new DD hammock/bivi (yes, hammock and bivi combined) and their new 3×3 lightweight tarp. That’s if I survive the smog!
See you next week.
Pablo.
Welcome.
This is the home of Woodlife. You will find links to Pablos Woodlife (blog) the Woodlife Social Network (forum) and Woodlife Trails (courses) all on this page.
There’s always somewhere to hang a hammock. How about between the fitted wardrobe and the window frame? Just make sure you get it packed away before they come to clean the room…
Hang in there my friend! Be strong! You will make it trough the weekend!
I had to go from the west country to canary warf for an exhibition on sat and it was sooo strange, I even had to buy suitable clothing! So you have my sympathy but friends are important too! I bet you spotted at least 3 different kinds of eddible plants (I did!) and thought how horrible city pidgeons must taste
Already looking forward to your evaluation of the tarp
You poor, poor person. Mind, nobody would even notice if you dressed in your normal bushcraft gear. However, wearing the knife is not a good idea. Try taking a duck call to Regents Park. The ducks are fat after a summer season of being fed by the tourists. Dawn
