BUSHCRAFT - Is it contagious????

[karen]

Has anyone else noticed that anyone that comes in contact with the other half catches the bug. I found that all my friends seem to have succumbed to the bushcraft bug after 15mins of speaking to my other half. Anyone else found this????

Cheers

Definately contagious.

Jules, My other half already has a Lapp Puuko and likes the look of Hennessey Hammocks. She often finds containers n stuff and asks if stoves etc can be made out of em :-D

Hmm, so all I have to do is find a woman, and then I can indoctrinate her...and I get a partner into the same things as me!
Koowel!!!
Would I look out of place at the night club in hiking boots and combat gear with a bergen on me back and a bushcraft hat? ack:

It's more like choose the right habitat for the species you want to catch... nightclubs for clubbers, libraries for bookworms and in the outdoors for bushcrafters. Of course, they're a rarer and more exotic species than you'd find in the nightclub... so you have to be patient.

(Although having said that Adi007 first asked me out in a car park after he saw all the camping kit in the back of my car... )

Happy Hunting!! :-D

Ah, I see. Hunting eh? Me crossbow should be arriving soon. What head do you use for women? Broad head? Fan? Retracting scalpel? or Fowl blunt (after all, I'm after a bird) : -l)

Dunno ... I've only ever used arrows with suction cups on the end!

Well, I thought that snares and chocolate lures were more the sort of thing you may want to be trying I find that for the female variety of wildlife, this can be done in various places, including clubs. Always find out if she likes camping, if not coz she thinks you need a duvet or she doesn't like being dirty then she's not going to be a likely candidate.

So. You need a 'dirty' bird eh? :shock: most of us hoped for one of them. They stop being 'dirty' when you marry them.

 

[karen]

They stop being 'dirty' when you marry them.

Does that rule still count if you've only been living with em??? I hadn't heard of that one before!!!!

Cheers

Its hearsay from the middle aged men I know I haven't married my other half but we have lived together for 22 years! I'll give her another 20 and pop the question. She's a lucky lucky girl

 

[Realgar]

I find a gin baited with olives and a splash of vermouth a very effective method of capture, failing that if you can hold the attention of the juveniles, the female will usualy follow. Just remember once you've touched her, her parents won't take her back.

If it is contagious there must be people who are naturally immune as my wife has never caught it and she has been exposed to it for the last 16 years!

I thought that was the kama sutra.

Found a girl that introduced herself as the outdoors type. Lost touch when I came to uni though.

Well, you seem to be on the right track ;-)
Next time a girl introduces herself as the outdoors type, maybe you should try saying 'basher' or 'tent'.

It may be prudent NOT to mention 'bushcraft' on a 1st date

I found the opposite to be true. It took me years to find Pebble. I found that most men are all talk and no action. We went camping on our first date. ):

 

[Great Pebble]

Via the pub....

Just in case anyone though I was "funny", like.

 

[Kim]

Little Mole, camping on a first date....perfection!

And re quote above from Andy, yeah sorry about that, got a bit muddled up. Nothing unusual there then! Sorry!

 

[Andy]

Your partner is a very lucky woman.

Is there something I'm missing, or rather something Great P is missing :shock:
