It would be brilliant to start a bushcrafters wiki. Everyone can contribute somthing and in the end it would be massive.
www.wiki.com
That one is in the pipeline
As soon as the new site is up and running ...
EDIT:
I'm with Torjus on this one, although I like to see it happen: one massive fat big large buscraft book. It will be very hard to draw an end ... The information in it will be massive, so ending up in a very big and heavy book (a lot of people want a book they can carry out in the field).
The comments Torjus gave are valid IMO: most techniques aren't applicable in the UK - purely because they are illegal. Things in the book should be easy to understand, no extreme indepth knowledge: you want to catch your public. If it's to hard you loose them, sell no books, all efford for nothing. (Though you made a very big book
).
Focus is really on people who have no knowledge about bushcraft, or are just into it ... Not for experts: as they already know a lot (they've written the book) - and they (experts) are scarce: 1000 books in print is way to much (if you aim on experts or fairly knowledgeable bushcrafters alone).
Dividing it into 4 seasons is a good idea, maybe supplemented with a 5th book with some basic knowledge: map reading, how to get acces to land, (the importance of) first aid (doing a course), edible plant test, list with usefull and available literature (there's no use refering to books that are out of print, extremely expensive, hard to find, etc. etc.), maybe how to rig a tarp ...
Though all the above can be added in the 4 books ...
Didn't RM wrote a book divided in 4 seasons? IIRC I've got it somewhere ...
AND: don't forget the value of the BCUK forum (especially when that whicked Wiki is up and running) ... you can find almost everything on any topic, and if it's not here: ASK! There's always someone who knows!
Besides that: we've got a great articles section
