Hi everyone,
I'm new to Bushcraft and to the forum. I have been building up a few bits of kit when I can afford it mainly using some of the recomended stuff in the SAS survival guide (not sure if this is a good or bad thing). Does anyone have any suggestions for a basic kit/setup for a beginner and any must have items. Alot of stuff recomended in this book doesn't seem practical for me camping in local woods starting out and learning.
I have put together a small tin of nessecary bits and bobs. And have a few cooking utensils mess tins and a trangia. I am thinking of buying a knife kit as I am quite creative and think i would enjoy making the handle up. I have a decent sleeping bag which copes with temps down to -19 ( I hope it doesn't reach that here).
But thats it, I still need shelter, and lot of other basics.
Any help or a basic kit list would be brilliant and a great help. Can exchange for some fishing suggestions as I'm a keen sea angler.
Kind regards
Adam
