"Don't it always seem to go...

[Firewyre]

That you don't know what you've got till it's gone?"

Hi, newbie here - originally from Scotland and now living in Birmingham. It would be now that I develop a proper interest in bushcraft as a whole instead of just some of the components - where I'm miles away from obviously good places to camp out bushcraft style!

But I'm ever so glad I've found this site - very very informative. I look forward to devouring the contents of the forums and maybe even posting what little wisdom I discover myself

Hello to everyone, congrats on such a great site and if anyone can help with a good place in the midlands for a bit of a bushcraft-style campout for two (bf and I) then I'd appreciate it. (I read the midlands thread, but it was inconclusive).

Interests - wild food, herbs (medicinal etc), and other plant uses (fibre, dyes, etc etc).

Hi Firewyre, welcome aboard

Welcome Firewyre.

Hope you get as much enjoyment from the forums as I do.

But beware they are very addictive!

Welcome to the virtual campfire.

And welcome to Birmingham, the spiritual home of bushcraft.

I'm sure you'll love it (Birmingham I mean)...well I say love it, but as a native I can say 'learn to tolerate' is about the best it gets.

Damn Firewyre! I only emigrated from Birmingham (Solihull) yesterday. We could have met up and shared some knowledge/Gucci gear. Dont it always seem to go...

Thanks, I've been here over a year now, so it's not so recent a change. Birmingham's much like Glasgow, as far as I'm concerned, but don't tell anyone I said that

I managed to get in to a nice area though, Edgbaston/Harborne way, and I'm often up near Brownhills/Clayhanger so I get to go on nice enough strolls away from the concrete wilderness. Just got "Food for Free" and "Wild Food" today, so those are the places I'll be scavenging in for grub. Wish me (and my digestive system) luck!

And look how close you are to Shropshire!

Next you'll be telling us they've got an equivalent to the Philly on the GWR - and I'd have to doubt you... Boy, do I miss pudding & chips this far South!
