Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Do you have any specific one's in mind to start the ball rolling, some are'nt very ''bushcraft'' as such, but ive not come across any that annoy me, well that im aware of.
I've only had three, but the old ones keep on disappearing....
I liked my old greenman one, but it doesn't work on the new forum.

I like avatars - I like the way it feels like spotting an old friend in the street when you see a familiar one.
I have to say I don't like it much when people change them every 5 mins - i'm a slow old fool and like things to change gradually (if at all
)

Did anyone notice one particular avatar take on a Father Christmas appearance in the lead up to Christmas?

Yep, very fitting I thought.
When i joined i had a picture of me in full combat gear with my AK. it didn't go down well... still the mods were understanding and now i have my ol guitar avatar, ripped off from a comic strip about the game portal from penny arcade
Its just another way for folk to express who they are and give themselves a face in this faceless, voiceless media.
I generally like them and look for familiar 'faces' and take interest in reading what they are writing.

i think avatars are great. A good quck reference to whos posting without having to deliberately look who it is. A bit of expression to an otherwise expressionless screen.
I've mine since day 1 on here (well the original was a moving pic, but it doesn't work anylonger 
). I like the use of avatars, I often know who post a message by only seeing the avatar before the username Sometimes I get confused when an old avatar (that I know off by an older non-active member) pops up and is used by a new member ...

I like avatars, like putting a face to a name.
I like Toddy's little southpark style woman.
I chose mine because it has good memories attatched and I think shows me and my interests well. (it is me BTW haha)

Changed mine a while ago to my makers stamp I made for my leather work.
I also made myself a couple of small badges to wear so people might see them and recognise me

You dont like my avatar?
Then it is either me or my sewing you have something against and we can sort this out by stepping outside!
On this site my name is my real name and my avatar is me and my opinions are mine...like it or lump it , "I am what I am , and thats all that I am!"

I really like my avatar, which is why its my avatar.
Its actually a 'Little Cracker' stove, for mounting in a vehicle, cabin etc.
Designed and made in NZ, its a lovely bit of kit. The ceramic tile holders at the sides act as a shield and retain heat, they use a standard size tile, so the owner can fit one to their own taste.
Multi-Fuel model shown, the 'Woody' has a longer, one piece door with larger glazing. Mk 5 has built in rear and base heat shields.
I was due to go to NZ last year and was going to buy one, but the trip got deferred. Not very bushcrafty, but I love it.
