G'Afternoon

[Axe Catcher]

Hullo, finally made my way here online after the fab Merthyr Maw Bushmoot last weekend. It was excellent to meet so many new people *waves* (I was the one with half-purple hair), relatively new to this craft but considering making it a career change

Howdy and welcome
The real trick is to catch an axe with your teeth on a wooden boat in the North Sea

Or to catch an axe with your wooden teeth on a wooden boat in the middle of the north sea!!

Good one! So you have half purple hair: what color is the other half? I thought Punk Rock was dead

The bottom half is purple, top half is blonde I think it looks quite funky, however, punk is dead and may it RIP.

Hi Amy n welcome aboard

What got you interested in bushcraft?

Completely honestly, I've been a 'classic camper' since the age of 3 with my family, I've just got back from 4 years living and working in the US, back-country camping, kayaking and hiking in the wilds of Northern Montana. Bardster and Warrior Librarian invited me along on the buscraft trip when I got back, I share a deep and abiding love for all things sharp and pointy with them, as well as being a bit roughy-toughy-up-for-anything.

My areas of knowledge are herbal medicine and kitchen-witchery along with a lot of varied work with animals (not that kind of work...quiet you lot in the back!!) so it was great to step outside my comfort zone and learn about tracking, edible plants, see bow-making, knife-making and meet a lot of people who know lots of stuff. I think I'll be becomming a regular fixture, time permitting of course

Thanks, I'm looking forward to putting handles/names to faces (not very often it happens that way around I suppose) it was a great moot and looking forward to doing it again.

I've always been actively living alongside nature, a classic camper since I was 3, but have just got back from 4 years in the wild and wooly northwest of the USA, back-country camping, hiking, canoeing etc which was excellent. The bushmoot was by way of a holiday after I got home and it was excellent.

As for the career change consideration, I'm still in the "wouldn't it be great if...." planning stages, but I would like to see about spending more of my time living the dream, rather than part-timing it once or twice a year. I am planning to try doing my herbalism as a business, I've been practising for the last 10-ish years on myself, family and friends who don't mind guinea-pigging for me but I'm told I have work of a high enough standard to start testing on the general public so I am considering that aspect as well.

Thanks for the welcome
AC

I have allways been interested in herbal medicine, I have tried to get some tips from my native american friends but they keep family (clan) secrets close.

Thanks Tone, I'm quickly discovering the resource of bcuk so many people who know so much about so many subjects. Thanks for making me so welcome at the moot, and thanks for all the hard work you all put in making it so great.
