Bushcraft UK...but not...

[Scottieoutdoors]

I was reading dome comments about the passing of Robson Valley on his families tribute page and someone mentioned BCUK, it got me thinking about how this forum attracts people from all over and not just the UK, how did any of you oversea folk find the forum?
Is there sister forums? I'm sure Google could answer but, I feel like conversing with humans...

BCUSA is quite large , and , somewhat militant in a few ways. ( That is my experience at least )

i stumbled across this forum by accident in 2007 (and are quite happy about it ), not sure if it still exists but once there was also an australian version of the forum...

Is BCUSA affiliated to BCUK or have both sites merely used the same name format?
I suspect it's the latter.

Similar deal with prepping. Canadians probably sit juxtaposed between UK and USA because their terrain, flora and fauna shares more with the USA but I think their outlook is more like our British one - apologies to any Quebecois readers.

I think you answered it partly by mentioning Google. Lots of searches for reviews for info ping up BCUK.

We all want info and reviews, google Snugpak Stratosphere tent review. It’ll take you right here amongst other places.

It's nice to see BCUK having a global community of people sticking around and participating.

I encountered to much hostility and politics over the firearms
Issue. I was a longtime collector shooter and probably handled every category. Then Sandyhook,
The personal liability, hassle just to shoot , a good percentile of idiots led to my slow disposal of everything. IF I was back in Alaska, a rifle would be on my person like a gardener a shovel.
I’m in Southern California. I have a hiking staff and sheath knife. If a mountain Lion appears ( and this did happen) I would raise my arms and yell. Or, in this incident, seeing mr cat already looking for an egress, say ‘here, kitty kitty’
As another hiker was fumbling for his pistol and Cat melted into the chaparral.
I don’t get that here.

Vie Sauvage et Survie is smaller than BCUK but very similar. They also have real experts.
They tend to write French though, fine if you are Québécois, of course.



If your Italian is better than your French you can try Avventurosamente.
It's pretty interesting because they have to deal with heat but also with snowy mountains.

Bushcraft USA started after Bushcraft UK and followed suit with the naming format, in the early days there was a little communication between us but not much.

Yeah, over the years we've had a lot of members from all over the world, especially before social media came about, it was a real mixture or nationalities.
Some amazing personalities
