I recently attended the Bushcrat show at Elvaston castle and was slightly concerned at how many people were carrying knives and sharps around the public areas.
I appreciate people were wild camping at the show as was I but I did not see the need to carry my knife, axe or machete around in full view when in the main show area and certainly not with a pint in my hand!
It all seemed to be a bit of a "mines bigger than yours" display of people's wares.
We all love our "toys" but I think they should be kept out of public view when not in the woods around our camps or at group meets.
There were plenty of sharps being sold and used in demonstrations under supervision
as you would expect at this type of event.
I would be interested to know what the organisers and those who attended the events' views are on this subject.
