Hey all
This is a post about what I did this weekend, I spend all of Saturday and Sunday morning helping out with the scout catering tent at the country music festival near Calne.
The scouts used to do the catering there every year for about 20 years, then 4 years ago we stopped, the leader who was normally in charge left scouting, so after a 4 year break we had to go back and try to regain our old reputation, but unfortunattly we didn't know exactly what we used to do, so we changed the menu to chillie with jacket potatoes or rice, naturally we also did our standard burgers and sausages and the likes, I personally think the weekend went well, costumers we slow comeing but being a first year you do tend to expect a worse year then normal.
The festival it self was great, they did say that foot fall through the door and ticket sales were down from previous years due to the economic downturn, being a country music festival there were cowboys and indians (I like indians, I could deffinatly see me dressed in skins and with a tomahawk on my side), also there was music and stalls from that era.
I brought a loverly ornamental skinning knife with a painted blade and an antla/ bone style painted handle and I also got a pipe hawk which is a tomahawk with a pipe in the back and you smoke through the handle, it came with a fur handle sheath with a leather belt loop, the leaders had a great joke when they saw me walking back acroos the field after my break in my bush hat with a tomahawk on my side, all in good humour :) Both items are going to go up on my wall with my other ornamental weapons.
I enjoyed the weekend and I think we will as a scout group go down and help again next year, I personally will be down the festival just for the fun of it.
Stay Safe
God bless

About Jamboree
As you may know I am an explorer scout, and one of the biggest events in a scouts life is the oppertunity to go to the World scout jamboree, it happens every 4 years, I am going to the 22nd WSJ in Rinkiby Sweden in July/ August of 2011, I am going as a member of the Wiltshire Contingent UK contingent 86, I am staying in the sub-camp Örnsköldsvik.
I am going to the Wiltshire scout centre on the 24th, from there catching a coach at midnight to Hethrow airport from there we have a 05:30 flight to Copenhagen in Denmark, in Denmark we are going to the beach and to see a Carnival and see local people and shops and stuff. We are there for 2 days, then going to Sweden and we are in Sweden for 12 days, doing many activites, we are near the sea so there will be water activites, also a Camp in Camp where we go off to a seperate camp site which is effectivaly a natural site, where we can experiance normal Swedish camping, natural camping, my love and hobby :) I think i might end up moving to sweden one day :P after Jambo we're going to Poland for 5 days, during the cabbage picking season, this is for Home Hospitality or HoHo in this we stay with local people doing what they do and learning and helping, so I have a feeling we might be Picking cabbages for a few days :P It should be awsome, I'll post more when I know more, and there will be videos and photos when I get back.

New tent
Hey all
I have just been given a new tent, well it's not new but it is for me, my brother picked it up from his girlfriends parents, he got Dad to pay for it, they wanted a bit towards there new tent so we paid about £70 for a £400 tent, and it is HUGE biggest tent I own, I think it might be bigger then the army mess tents which we use at scouts.
I'll have a video of it on youtube ASAP hopefully.

About the Wolf (Me)
My name is Andrew, I am the Whitewolfbushcrafter, I live in the UK and have been doing survival and bushcraft since 2009, it started due to my scouting which I started at age 8, got my first pen knife aged 12 and been going ever since.
My goal is to learn to live compfortably in nature, not just survive, I am interested in many primative arts, natural foods, carving, I want to try forging and smithing, I have a few different perminent "dens" setup around my area, which is where most of my videos are shot from.
I chose the wolf as my name and symbol because they have been my favorite animal from birth, I admire their grace and care, and family nature, I wish to learn and grow to be as silent as them, as fast and as accurate in my hunting.
My videos aren't very popular yet, I am relativly new to this, I do requests for videos so if you want to see anything just ask I will endevour to help, I am slowly going back to basics, the less I need to carry the better and over time my videos will hopefully show my change from camper too bushcrafter.
God bless you and yours
