Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
All done. An interesting mix of quantitative and qualitative material, but I know, on reflection that I have missed out whole raft loads of stuff on 'extended answer'-type questions. The penalties of being in a needless rush! Very best of luck with your thesis!

Hmmm...stats..not my stronest point!!
John...was really hoping to get to the moot, but so far it clashes with childcare issues. However, I will have another look at dates/possibilities as it would be great to go, both personally anf for research!
Always a welcome awaiting!
Thanks John ...might be able to make it 13-15th, which would be great??
And thanks again to you all for participating, nearly 300 responses now! I know its a bit long for a survey, but couldn't help myself...so many more questions I would love to ask!
Just re-interate (as quite a few are expressing interest), I will post the statistical analysis in September, and I have no idea when the thesis will be made public, I guess it depends on if I am encouraged to formally publish it? So far there have been comments from my department about publication, but who knows. One way or another it will become public at some point, but I still have over a year for writing...phew! I will certainly keep you updated

Done - one question - 38 IIRC - didn't actually make a lot of sense read gramatically - I answered the question I think you meant rather than the one I read!
A therapeutic and thought provoking exercise. It's certainly focused my mind on what's important to me, regarding my take on this activity.
I won't wish you "good luck" but best wishes - luck hasn't much to do with what you're doing!

Thats great...keep them coming ! Yes, they do get a bit more tricky Steffan, but its sounds like you had a good bash at most of it, which os great. I am pretty sure my supervisors would have said that it's a bad questionnaire design and folks wont go to the lengths I am asking, but people are really giving it a good go, and I am getting some brilliant and very 'telling' and important data about BC in the UK !
British Red...you're right of course...thats a terribly written question!!? Glad you gave it go anyway
Thanks again all!

Done
I am happy to answer further questions if that helps.
Hope to see you at the show next week.

Done. Only complaint is that the questions seem to assume that we somehow "took up bushcraft" as a hobby rather than simply growing up with it being part of our life (as some of us did)
Hey Brian...thanks! Will definitely want to interview you at the BC show
Hey Santaman2000...yes I guess I did rather assume that!? Interestingly, the survey is showing that most folks (in the UK) were influenced by experiences in Nature in early childhood, and 'took up' bushcraft later on...shows how that early connection to Nature stays with a lot of people, which adds weight to the importance of getting kids connecting to the natural world if they are going to care about it later?...but then I think we all know that instinctively...thanks very much for your time!!
Cheers
