    When did you become interested in Bushcraft?

    is have to say i was into bushcraft as a kid, always camping and messing on in the woods etc. then grew up and lost interest / moved to london etc(and found the world of pubs), then started watching natural world and ray mears and so on and inspired me to get back into it. So glad i did

    Homemade charcoal

    yeah i tried this last summer, i was making a large batch of charcloth from jeans and thought 'why not try charcoal' so found a large container and put a few logs inside, took quite along time to work but as i wasnt doing anything else so it was fine. I was extremely impressed with the results...

    Live Chat

    you dont have to download software if you dont want too, the mods and admins would probably have to run the application so they could have control of the rooms but these days you can setup java chatrooms for websites and it just connects to irc as a guest for each member and you change your name...

    Your first proper fire

    indeed. ever since i remember i was lighting big fires in the garden with my father and helping with bbq's etc. I dont really remember my first camp fire with food either as id always tag along with my brother and his friends when they were doing it. Getting the fire so hot that it melts the pan...

    Prefered fire lighting method

    I'm a smoker too, I carry a lighter with me at all times as its easieer when walking to spark up but when i go to light a fire when camping i always try to light it without lighter or matches as its cheating in my opinion. I like the challenge of trying to get wet silver birch to light and so on

    obtaining permission

    definitely get friendly with the local farmers and land owners. ive camped in some amazing places due to being friendly (farmers arent always the most cheerful people though, but mention you can keep the rabbit population down and they'll soon warm to you). Or another option (not advised...
