    How to encourage diversity in bushcraft

    I’ve found everyone here very polite, welcoming and accepting. Lots of folk go out of their way to help out folk who are new, starting out or just trying to get ahead. No one really cares where anyone comes from or background in that regard. I’ve not seen anyone being prejudiced or bigoted. That...

    How to encourage diversity in bushcraft

    sure. For an immigrant to trespass, or commit criminal damage (making fire without permission could be this) could be a criminal act which cost them their immigration status. If they were convicted they may be deported. if this is a misunderstanding of how access law works, please do correct...

    How to encourage diversity in bushcraft

    oh sorry, perhaps I didn’t put my point across right. I’m not saying that education or being involved in expensive sports is a requirement, more that a lot of folk here have these things so are able to take stuff which others see as barriers for granted. yeah of course going and setting a fire...

    How to encourage diversity in bushcraft

    How to encourage diversity in bushcraft

    I think a lot of it comes down to time. From what I’ve learned reading here, listening there, trying to plan a trip in the future, bushcraft takes time, to do and learn and there are certain demographics who have more time on their hands. While others have more pressures on theirs. I’ll spare...

    Hello from Glasgow

    Hi All, I’ve been lurking for a bit, dipping my toe in here and there. Probably far past time I should have said hi, so hi. I’m very green with all this bushcraft stuff, but would like to try a few things out if we can ever get out camping and walking again. See you around
