Bushcraft Widow...!

[offroadmick]

My missus says "you're always polishing your knives and looking on the bush forum thing, i'm a bushcraft widow!!! "

So... How about we get all our other halves to sign up to the forum and join the fun??
We could have new threads on cooking, knitting, and the best way to get your sooty pans clean!

But seriously... Do you guys get stick like i do for being on here?

 

[Nova & Pinky]

I spend more time on here than Pinky does...

 

[JDO330]

My wife spends as much time on Facebook as I do on here so no problem!

 

[Mesquite]

When I asked her for the ok to go to the moot her gleeful reply was....

'Oh yeah... that means I get a week of peace and quiet without you round the house!!'

Maybe she was trying to tell me something...

 

[Puddock]

My wife thinks that I am just a little bit weird

 

[Retired Member southey]

My little Wifey is an assistant survival instructor as part of her job, I get called a wimp for taking a hammock out, as it's a luxury item. and she is already a member here

 

[maddave]

My other half Jules is already a member.. And buys me bushy stuff for birthdays etc... I'm a lucky Hombre'

 

[John Fenna]

No way!
She knows her place - cooking me a roast dinner for when I come home!
She will kill me if she ever reads this or similar posts I have made!

[toilet digger]

[Shewie]

I don't get stick for being on here but she does have a grumble about me buggering off to Scotland every month

She's quite outdoorsy so comes on a lot of day trips with me, she won't do camping though unless there's proper toilets, hot showers and a hair dryer, oh and somewhere to plug her hair straighteners in

Mine is a great campfire cook, she gets jealous when I go off without her

 

[Man of Tanith]

Lisa's a member on here

[drewdunnrespect]

[lannyman8]

my wife understands what i do and why, she just doesnt like me doing it as often as i do, and thats mainly the internet side of it....

but hey, life goes on.....lol....

I think you are all very foolish for shacking up with the Unfair Sex.

 

[Biker]

I don't get to much stick for spending time here, I get it in the neck for being online a lot, but like JD0330 said above she's busy doing other things like watching TV, she's not that into facebook.

As for the practical side of bushcraft, it's the same story she does what she does I can play making stuff of going out. She's not too chuffed about me making a mess in places that are designated as mutual areas like the kitchen, but then I have aworkshop so I keep my stuff in there.

When I say to her someone at BCUK said such and such she does roll her eyes a bit though. I suppose I am a bit obsessvie about this forum but I really enjoy being here and reading stuff and enjoying the banter.

Tengu, tell me you don't give you fella a hard time about something then.

 

[Bluefrog]

Well, i was with a girl thats a dancer in London, i was heading for a similar London lifestyle (not a dancer hahaha). After taking a course with woodsmoke decided i want to do outdoor education at university. Now were split up because our lifestyles are way to different and its for the better. I'm way to young for that, unless a bushcrafty/outdoors girl was to come along.

 

[Radix lecti]

My wife spends as much time on Facebook as I do on here so no problem!

Ditto ! Same here mate.
