a genuine invitation

[mac]

Hi Guys and other halfs
I've not been on the site for a while and I need more inspiration.
For those of you that haven't heard of me, last year I posted a new topic called 'new, disillusioned and lonely'.
I was made to feel very welcome and was given many words of encouragement.
I still haven't been out to learn bushcraft for a couple of miserable excusey reasons:
1) I don't learn practical things very well from books
2) I've got no mates to go out bushcrafting with and
3) I've been dealing with crap from the council and job centre over money they've just decided I owe them! (buggers annoy me)

Good news though! I got a new full time job right on my doorstep!

Anyway..to get to the point!
I haven't come across or heard of anyone in Durham who enjoy bushcraft so

As I am so keen to learn bushcraft and need real time inspiration, I am offering to invite 2 and maybe up to 4 of you lads to come and stay with my family in my home for a whole weekend, with meals provided (not forgetting whisky and vodka!) in return for some chilled out practical skills and a good laugh!
If anyone would be more than happy with this strange sounding but genuine invitation, please could serious enquiries e mail me at the following address:

Mac,

Good to hear about the job, hope it goes alright for you.

hi edS
thanks.
All the best to you.

Anyone heard from Jamie lately?

Hi mac, did you manage to land a job in the outdoors as you wanted?

 

[mac]

alreet Jamie!
I've got a new job as a caretaker in a school.....100 metres from where I live!
£5.50 ph, flexible times, get to muck in and help out with art and sports if I want!
No traffic jams, no rush hour and travelling costs!
Kids go on nature walks so I can go along.
Small staff members.....all female too whey hey!
Now I really want to learn bushcraft so I can pass the skills on to the kids.
Could have had a summer job as an outdoors instructor about 30miles away, but it was residential for 4 months only and £100 a week.
Really starting to feel settled now at last.
Need to get some bushcraft mates to go out with on weekend adventures!

Good for you Mac, sounds like you're getting sorted.

Wishing you well with it,

Dave
