I'm an American expat now happily calling Australia home. I live on the beautiful island state of Tasmania, in a cabin half way up a mountain right on the edge of World Heritage Area forested wilderness. It's quite a life!
I've been passionate about bushcraft since I was a child and am very interested in self-sufficiency, sustainable living, and the hand-crafted lifestyle. I'm also interested in primitive lifeways, experimental archaeology, and historical arts & handicrafts. For me, living in harmony with my environment and being in touch with Nature's power and rhythms is something sublimely spiritual.
I'm also a bit of an old grumpy anti-consumerist anti-materialist curmudgeon.
I'm looking forward to getting to know folks here and sharing in a bushcraft community that seems significantly less filled with the paranoid survivalism, religious proselytising, and handgun fetishism that seems to characterize many other sites. So far this looks like a great place and I'm proud to be a part of it! Thanks for having me!
