Hi Everyone,
I'm just curious if there are any of you that do any bushcrafting in the US. I am originally from Florida but I now live in California. I've noticed that there are a few people from Canada on here but I don't see many posts from anyone else.
There are just a few things i'm curious about. Are there any US sites that anyone knows about that are similar to BCUK? There aren't many, if any, sites at all like this one, nor can I really even find any groups that enjoy doing it enough to join up and go out together and learn.
I also notice that majority of all the good gear that you guys talk about is only available to buy from the UK, which is fine with me, just curious if the quality of gear is worth the currency exchange rate for myself or if you guys just buy whats local.
There are 2 things as far as kit goes that i'm very interested in purchasing sometime in the near future...some ventile clothing and a Karrimor Sabre 45 or 75 litre sack....I notice both are much more prominent in the UK...especially the Sabre rucksack. Anyone know of any distributors in my area for either one of these pieces of kit?
If there are any of you that do bushcraft in the states. Do you find that the kit you normally use in the UK works just as well over here or do you have to alter it in any way to accomodate for the changing climate?
I know there is alot of random info in this post but I mainly am just curious what everyones thoughts are about bushcrafting in the states and would love to introduce some of your passion for nature into the maniacs out here...including myself .
I'm fairly new to BCUK and really love the site alot. Thanks for everyones input in the forums. I've learned a ton just from reading what you guys have to say about everything.
