Hi all,
haven't been wild camping yet as I've still to learn the navigation and bushcraft skills (basically, everything), so since the "summer's" gone, I'll probably be waiting till next spring, when I hope to go on a taster bushcraft course for a few days to learn what I need to (I think that's probably the best thing to do, any course reccomendations for central Scotland?).
In the mean time however, to tide me over during the winter months, I want to do some reading up on the bushcraft subject to give me a better idea of the subject; also, I'd like to learn how to identify wild plants, berries and trees and their fruits etc. and to learn their uses (for food as well as medicinal purposes etc. and how to prepare them).
Thanks for the help,
Musicman.
