How did you come to Bushcraft UK

[pibbleb]

I was searching for some info, and this site came up as recommended by the BBC. Well who was I to turn down the recommendation of the BBC, what else do I pay my licence fee for .

Anyway hung around in the background for an age until I was sure I wouldn't get laughed out of dodge :BlueTeamE :BlueTeamE . I have to say this site has not only been a wealth of support and advice but has given me an insight into a bigger picture that I'd not considered when I was playing around on my own.

Cheers Tony and the gang!

I was searching for info on the Snugpak Rocket pak and found Gary's (?) old review of it. Bought the pack, and stayed on the site.

I was searching for reviews of folding saws, found a thread on BB, and followed a link here. And here I settled (after lurking a few months).

I found the site via the link on BB. The phrase "So, you actually use that knife for something? " on their Bushcraft Section was a draw to me as so many of the guys there seem to make and/or collect such lovely knives but never seem to do much with them.... (No disrespect to those on BB who do)

Amazing that I should have found BB via an American knife forum and that then led me here, where I feel much more "at home".

I blame Womble. He was running a backwoods camping demo at our local Scout district open day and I was one of the Archery instructors.

After the open day we (the archery team) were doing a 24 hour shoot for charity and as Womble was camping overnight he wandered over to marvel at the astonishing skill of the archers and we got to talking.

Haven't looked back since.

My only regret is the amount of money that has passed through my finger due to group buys etc.

BCUK is one a a very few sites I check every day so can't be all that bad

As I have said on this thread I was searching Gargoyle for toilet suppliers in the uk...go figure

 

[Lithril]

just after watching Mr Mears on TV and decided to start googling and finding out more about Ray and Bushcraft.

I was looking into the Ultralite scene in the UK and found the site by accident. A great find! I'd been looking for something like this since I left the Army. Being out in the field was one of the best parts of my former career.

Another can't remember, but don't know how i could of done without it..

I was looking on ebay for some fire-making kit, and found something I liked. So googled it, to see if I could find it cheaper, low and behold, I found a review on this site and decided not to buy the ebay product, as it was not worth the bag it was sold in.

I've voted for the "Link from another site" as I seem to remember following a Hoodoo Hone sharpening suggestion from a shooting website. I couldn't believe it was that simple.
A brief look around had me feeling like I'd found home, discussions about all the topics that I held dear and folk who all enjoyed the simpler things in life rather than the "mine is bigger/faster/more expensive than yours" attitude.
It felt good that I could ask a question and I'd get honest, fast replies that didn't cost the earth to impliment and were from people who had experience of the topic in hand.
I can't thank you enough Tony, for coming up with such a great idea as starting this site, I'm still learning and I hope I can continue to offer my help to those who are taking their first steps into this great subject.

For me, I remember it well. I had always been interested in survival, and someone asked me if I was to be put on a desert island with a shoebox of belongings what would they be. I took this way too seriously and started searching the web for survival stuff. In fact as I remember it wasn't until i saw the 'four seasons' Ray Mears that I started searching for bushcraft, and the rest is history...

has anyone actually come here after being told about the site by a bushcraft school? if so which?

if you have been on a bushcraft course, did you find Bushcraftuk then go on a course or the other way around?

I was told about the site at the Outdoor show 2004 by someone doing a firedrill demo,outside under a parachute, not sure which school he was with though.
