thats what has given me my life back

I do understand the idea of bushcraft being a part of life. I have just had Jarrod Stone Dahl staying with me. He builds birch bark canoes and snowshoes, taps birch and maple for syrup, harvests wild rice and traps beaver. He has trouble getting his head round the whole idea of going out to do bushcraft. To him it is all just stuff you have to do in order to do other stuff. You have to build fire, feed yourself keep warm etc but to go out to "do bushcraft" is a bit like the folk who drive their landrovers down tracks where they know they will get stuck so they can winch them out even though there is a perfectly good road running alongside.

surprisingly there are two Robin Wood's working in wood. I did do some chainsaw carving 20 years ago, whilst it is very fast and lucrative I really dislike it as a production process. I guess you are referring to the other Robin Wood in the current living woods mag?

Never mind, you just reminded me of another guy from south Wales who's names beenn bugging me.... Sorry.

Sorry Robin, post was directed at wood owl. His previous threads indicate he does a fair bit.
