Getting my son involved

[Chris the Fish]

My son has started to take a real interest in all things bushcraft, combine that with an obsession with stampy cat videos on YouTube he decided to make his own video. He started with 'making a fire with a spark' and uploaded the resultant vid here.

hes looking to make more about charring cloth/punk wood etc so hopefully this is the start of a great hobby!

Love the look on his face at 4:13... proper enjoying himself!

My lads a little older, but he's really getting into it... has a bag of basics including a hammock, a tarp, a stove, mess tin etc. that he's aching to get out and about with.... caught him last week making a fire in the garden with a firesteel so he could make himself a brew

Even my two youngest are wanting a go, but they're a little on the young side at the minute.

Cheers guys, it's great to be getting involved together, and I'm reliving my own childhood at the same time! (Not that I've ever really grown up!)
