MCQBushcraft - Introduction to Bushcraft series

[Jack Bounder]

Looks like Mike is doing a ground up introduction to bushcraft. I like his stuff, so will be watching. There will be an episode released every Saturday.

Another big fan of Mike's channel (an slightly envious of his permissions) will be following his latest series with interest.

I agree. I haven been following Mike's channel for quite awhile now and I am certainly in favor of getting more videos from him each week!

I'm sure at one point in the video he says he works as an instructor. Anyone know who he works for.

his was one of the first channels i subscribed to, i love his tone and style of informal instruction......for me he reminds me alot of a young ray mears

I believe he is a freelance instructor. I'm hopefully going to catch up with him at some point as he lives 2 minutes from my place, I'll ask him and let you know. I was going to ask him about courses anyway.

Sometimes works for "forest bushcraft" - www.forest-bushcraft.co.uk - hope that helps

.....slightly envious of his permissions.......

Yeah, me too.

I've just found his videos. Impressive production quality for a youtube video, most refreshing. So far of all I've watched the only let down is he's filmed himself fishing illegally... Of all the info he has covered, it seems weird that he failed to mention the legality of fishing without a rod in the uk.

I look forward to further episodes of his new series.

Pretty damn impressive production and presentation. I see a TV show in his future

i only started watching his videos a few weeks ago, but i have now seen them all and am looking forward to this series he is starting as im just starting out myself

 

[Whittler Kev]

Got to say I've recond his stuff is good for a while now. Better keep an eye out for his new stuff.

I've seen a few of Mikes vids on youtube and enjoyed them alot, not just for the content but for the presentation and edit quality. Was interested to hear him make the point about the practicalities of bushcraft in Britain and that it does not have that much real wilderness - or words to that effect.

Am hoping he will return to this in the series because we've all seenm the end result of relative novices heading out to 'do bushcraft'; lots of green branches chopped off and scorched craters in the ground.

Some footage in this intro featured a raised bed made from quite a number of young trees and I would be interested to hear Mike's take on adapting this sort of technology for an environment with more urban woodland and less real wilderness.

Just thought I would jump with regards to the fishing legality question. Hand line fishing isn't illegal and there is no literature stating such a thing. Bank lining is mentioned on the GOV website and this is very different and illegal in 'freshwater' as lines are left untended, although this method is not illegal on the coast.
A hand line requires a rod license and there is no minimum rod length. Ive been in a ream of fishing shops, shown my bushcraft kit and shared my fishing stores and I always make a habit of asking on legality. All is legal Ive been told many a time.

If actual literature can be supplied to state that fishing with hand line is illegal, I would more than happily state I'm wrong but there is no such literature from what Ive found or queried with experienced fishermen and women. - https://www.gov.uk/freshwater-rod-fishing-rules/tackle-you-can-use

I often get called on legality, everything I do is above board to the best of my knowledge.
Appreciate the comments on the channel, means a great deal and enjoy the witch hunt.

Hi Mike.
thanks for joining and commenting on the thread. Always helps when the individual can state their case.

Hi Mike.

Appreciate the welcome. I must admit I'm a little 'surprised' about whats been said in the thread.
Apart from the articles on 'unlicensed instruments' there is no other literature stating that hand lining is illegal. A fishing rod can be an unlicensed instrument with out a license. I have a fishing license.

Some people always look to pick holes in the good work of others. Just keep doing what you're doing I think your channel is the by far and away the best on Youtube, looking forward to the rest of the series.
