Hello to all

[Smith]

A big hello to everyone at bushcraftuk
My names Tom, im 20 years old and from Nottingham (aka Shottingham).
I've been lurking in the forums for a couple of weeks, seems like a great community, full of nice people who share a genuine love for the outdoors. Thought i'd join in the fun. I am pretty much new to the idea of bushcraft, always loved spending time outdoors, camping and making a good fire, but i'd love to learn how to do alot of the skills shown on this site, the whole idea is very appealing to me, i am going to start getting myself some kit and start trying them out for myself, im considering coming on the summer bushmoot 2007 but feel i might be a bit unprepared? What kit would i need? and would a 20 year old newbe be welcome?

Big thanks to whoever set this site up, its fantastic, and looking forward to the banter of the forums, and learning some new skills.

Peace Smith

Hi smith and welcome

I am sure you will have already seen how good the community is here at BCUK and it doesnt change at all at the meet ups/moots the only meet we have been to was the last delemere one and everyone made me and the familly feel really welcome no matter what set up you have.

You would need at least the basic camping equipment as you need to provide your own accomodation and food.

Think you should make it if you can

Welcome Tom.

Any kit that gets you through the weekend at the moot is absolutely fine. New folk very very welcome.

Hi Tom,

If you have camping gear that should be ok mate, let us know what kit you have got then I'm sure someone will be able to let you know what else might make life a little more comfortable

Welcome aboard Smith,
If you've done any sort of camping before, you'll get on fine at the Bushmoot. There'll be everything from people hiking in and hammocking, to full sized family tents with loads of trimmings. Its a great place to learn some new skills and swap a few stories around the campfire. Its also a good place to see what kit is available before you go parting with your hard-earned cash.

Hello Tom, and welcome here....Get to that moot if you can, you will learn lots in a very relaxed setting and atmosphere. Plenty there to do and see and some great folk to meet. Don't worry about kit too much, knowledge is far more important.....
