Shambling Shaman
Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
I have always liked the country side, woods, fresh air, rain, etc but only very recently realised that bushcraft could be a great way to learn new skills and enjoy living with nature, rather than just off it. In my early 50's I have come to this a bit late in life (and know little about bushcraft) and have tried to explain to my family that this is not just healthy but extremely useful when Yellowstone Park goes up (or something similar). My daughter is is convinced that I am having a breakdown and my wife thinks it is not worth worrying about things like that, and why would you want to sleep in the cold when you have a bed?
Its nice to see i am not the only one who gets 'are you off your head' looks when I mention I should get basic bushcraft/survival equipment and skills.
I hope to find out what things are available in SE Essex to actually go and learn bushcraft skills instead of just explaining that it is not stocking a bunker with arms and food then waiting for the world to end!
Regards
Fred
