Bushclass usa

[John Fenna]

Well - I know this sort of thing is not for everyone ... but I have been taking part in the BushcraftUSA Bushclass since I discovered it a while back and have enjoyed following the lessons and passing through the different stages - Basic, Intermediate ... and now Advanced.
Today I received my Certificate for passing the Advanced Class and have been informed that I am the first - not only first Brit, but FIRST to complete the class.
Another claim to fame
So - all you Brits doing the classes - get a move on, you are choking in my dust
Seriously - I have found the Classes and lessons have added a focus to some of my outings and have also had me revisiting some skills that I have neglected and would recommend the classes to anyone who is interested in an on going challenge.
Have fun out there!

Good for you John and very well done!

As you say these things aren't everyone's cup of tea but I think there's value (and fun!) in these sorts of challenges. It certainly doesn't do anyone any harm to revisit things either. I might have to have a look myself....

Nice one Mr Fenna

Could we see a picture of your certificate please. Can you also tell me if the advance course was difficult?

Define "difficult"
After 40 odd years playing this game some of the classes were second nature but things like Fishing will always be a closed book to me and so that class was hard!

 

[rickyamos]

Yeah know what you mean, horses for courses. Everyone finds some things more difficult than others, some people might be good at fishing and like it, then another man it's a black art. Thanks for the fast reply John.

Its a great concept, gives things a bit of structure if your not sure what sort of things you should try. I think I might use the basic one as a good starting palce for teaching my sons.

The course costs nothing at all.
All you do is take pics and notes on what you've done and post in the right thread. Sgt Mac, one of the mods keeps track of the all the student activity but it is a good idea to also keep track of your own tasks completed just for reference.
Good thing is you can just drop in to the bushclass now and then with a completed lesson as there is no time limit ...very relaxed really.

Pete.
