RJ,
ketts hill you say , nice place, have you checked out mousehold heath yet!
when i've finished this next week i shall be happy to meet up! i live not far from the football ground!
lord lurcher,
what you after? i dare say you probably don't need to spend anything to join us bushcrafting!
ask anyone that goes our kit is constantly changing adapted or chucked, we do not have the "holy grail" of kit, probably the best idea is for your first outing take your camping gear be comfortable, enjoy the weekend, get home and make your self 3 piles:
1 stuff you used constantly and important stuff like first aid.
2 stuff you used sometimes
3 stuff you didn't use or could do without.
there are also "kit lists" people have made in the past i think even i did which you should find on a BushcraftUK thread search but the list i did is way out of date now!
the gear i use is very simular to kit i'd use on the mountain just made of more robust materials,
an important note don't rough it!
