Heyho ,
Hardly superskills , but finding places with great views/good vibes where the chance of being interrupted/overlooked is at a supreme minimum is the closest I've come to romantic bushcraft .
Hmm maybe that aldi fondue set will find it's niche ;)
Cheers , Trev .

Paddling on a flat and empty autumnal Loch Lomond a couple of years was a pretty nice day with SWMBO. Even the wallabies came out to say hello as we sat on the beach with a bbq and a bottle of wine :)

It was only after demonstrating how I tickle trout (without the trout), that I saw my lesssthanbetterhalfs eyebrows raise and smile creases form in the corner of her mouth.

my girlfriend used to throw javelin at county level until a torn ligament forced her to stop, as you can imagine she was quite upset by this. the first time we ever went camping together i made her an atlatl and dart, showed her how to use it and then left her to play with it whilst i cooked steak on a flat rock over the fire and some potatoes in the embers. i'm not sure she was particularly wooed but she does still tell people all about her amazing boyfriend and the day he made her an atlatl and steak-on-a-rock, so i guess i did something right

I met Debs while I was running a Medieval Field Kitchen, She seemed impressed by my honey mustard pork.

So were 100 or so assorted medieval household troops.

later on they talked over a mead or two and the rest is living history :D

I took Katy for a picnic in Tentsmuir forest and made bacon rolls with a hobo stove.

LOL couldn't resist.
i honestly don't think my missus would EVER see the outdoors as romantic except perhaps the views, i'm trying to get her round to it mind, bacon rolls with a hobo stove is a cracking idea ;)

When you said Romantic (as opposed to romantic) I was thinking Byron and Shelley swanning around the Lake District in baggy shirts trying to get laid.

I bet there was a grim twinkle in her eye too.
