Hi everyone, new here but been doing a wee bitty of lurking :)
I live in Central Scotland, in Perthshire...I've previously had quite a bit of camping experience & wildcamping/bushcrafting with scouts/cadets/TA and family. I regularly camped until I had to have surgery for a herniated disc that left me with chronic pain problems so had to give it up a few years back...since then I've been miserable after trying to camp a few times but being in too much pain to enjoy it.
However, after feeling that pull to get back out there and doing a bit of poking about, I've potentially found my salvation! I hadn't considered using a hammock & lots of people with back problems have managed to get back to it with one...wayhey - overexcited much! :dancer:
Looking forward to being in the middle of a forewt again, being self reliant and relearning lost & rusty skills :)
I've got a Staffy, hate the labels people give them...it's not the dog, it's the owner that's the problem 99% of the time!

Last but not least, thankyou to everyone that posts YouTube vids, reviews and experiences - you've all helped me massively with making my gear choices - real life reviews and gear demos are worth far more than company-written blurbs! Cheers & keep up the good work, am hoping to record my experiences once I get my kit together :)

Anyhoo, you're probably bored stiff by this point so I'll finish up!

~WWC~

welcome aboard from another scot. i lived in perth for a decade, and crieff for some time. have been round auchterarder ways a few times in the past too. what a cracking area! I will be back around those part sometime in the summer feel free to give me a shout
 
Thanks very much Dreadhead, Perth itself has gone wayyyyyy downhill in the space of a decade...you'll be glad you moved away! Have to agree, I consider myself lucky to live in such a beautiful area...5 mins in either direction and I can be out in the middle of nowhere...after briefly having to live in a city, I couldn't have been happier to move back here! :) What a novelty, I don't often come across many people that have heard of Auchterarder, let alone been near it lol - sounds good mate, let me know when you're heading over and I'm sure we can arrange summat, that would be great :cool:
