This is a really good site I think that not many people have seen before-------

SITE INTRO- I’ve started this website as a means of sharing my experiences of woodcraft. As a child I always had an interest in nature and the country side, growing up on the east coast of Norfolk, figure 0.0. Mostly dunes (marram grass and heather), scrub and woodland (willow, birch and oak), inhabited by rabbits, adders, natterjack toads and sand lizards. I’m definitely a novice when it comes to woodcraft skills, but, that’s the point of this web page, to provide a record of the things that work for me and perhaps to try and fill in some of those frustrating, missing steps not mentioned in the books on this subject. The sections in this website are in order of significance, however, this is highly dependent on environment and circumstances e.g. a person can’t last more than a few days without water, however, fire is needed to purify water and without a knife its difficult to produce fire. Alternatively, without shelter or fire the effects of hypothermia may be more of an immediate danger than lack of water. Therefore, the first three sections are equally significant. Tip, any undertaking should be based on experience and knowledge of the tasks involved and a real assessment of the risks and levels of physical fitness, skills required. I would like to thank the Woodsmoke and Woodlore instructors and the people I’ve meet on my travels as without their input and guidance this website would not be possible.
