A Thank You

[Phaestos]

One of these days, I'll stand up after a few wines around the camp fire, and say it to people's faces, but for now, this'll have to do. At least this can reach those people I've not met up to this point.

Thank you. I've always been interested in the outdoors, but it wasn't until late last year that I finally reached some sort of tipping point, where the desire to get stuck in outweighed the reluctance and nervousness, and I fell headlong into Bushcraft. That transition was helped immeasurably by the people on this forum. I am never happier than when I'm around the campfire now, and I revel in learning every new little skill (as many on here will attest to). None of this would have been possible without the support of you fantastic, fantastic people. I can see lifelong friends in every new person I meet, each of us with a shared connection in a love of the outdoors. May the future bring many a new campfire, thousands of carved spoons, and a head chock full of new stories!

Cheers guys and gals,

Matt

I could have written exactly that, all apart from meeting people lol, in time though, I know what you mean about tipping point, I, like you have always been attracted to the outdoors but until this week have not done much about it, apart from site camping does that count lol Been on a few 'trips' and lots of fishing in days gone but hey, sorry to steal your thread, just had to tell you I know that feeling.

Thanks.

I'm with you in your enthusiasm of this site. I have learnt a lot since I joined last March. I have also met some brilliant people since joining.

I agree with all of the above and would like to add one further point. I've found that members' advice and comments on kit and techniques has saved me wasting time and money. This makes the cost of membership a net saving!
