Hi every one what a fab site bush craft uk is with loads of info to be had. Iv picked up loads tips over the past two years hovering around. Im a scot, interests have always been nature, wildlife - fauna & flora , fishing & hunting & my long time dream to live off the grid ! Live a simple self-reliance life in beautiful nature where I adore being in the great outdoors.
Iv descided I would like to do an experiment by living in a tepee for a season or maybe more & would welcome a partner to live in camp with same ideas. Although iv hunted & camped a lot my bush craft skills are zero as only study it for 2 years from books , internet, & anywhere else I could gain knowledge off . Im rich in theory but not in pratical which to me is a good thing (plenty to try out & practice ).
I dont have a clue how to go about this & its legalalities ! Ideally I would like permission from a farmer to sett up camp ideally with mixed forests , with a water source & Scotland ( argyleshire is beautiful, 3 rd least populated place in uk rich in wild life & sea life near for sea fishing ) I f I cant get permission im thinking to use scotlands every mans right to wild camp & just keep it quite untill found & move on but I really dont want to move around - like a permanent base camp ! I dont have cash to buy land , only enough for food supplies which living simple is not a lot I.e rice , flour & powdered milk can get sealed & large quantities so food is easy & the list goes - on. Can any one shed light on how to gain a camp base ? How to find people with like minded life styles / ideas ? Any posts about this style of living on here ?Any one interested in this life ? pm me be glad to talk about it.
Any advice be grateful that helps me know where to start , My plan to try out this experiment is end febuary & try last at least the four seasons, I have loads off primative skills to try out & my one favourite is to tan a deer hide into clothes.
