Hello everyone, just joined as i find myself regularly reading info from the site and i thought it was about time i joined, hopefully i can contribute to the great vibe i sensed from being a silent reader of this quality website.
I suppose i should say a little bit about myself
From Newcastle UT and was an armchair bushcraft enthusiast for far too long, i know this because as i started to practice it and learned a few basic skills i suddenly felt a lot more human than i had for so many years, 15 years working in customer service call centres is enough to destroy the humanity of most and i was no exception, sometimes you have to lose yourself to really find yourself i guess.
I love attending classes and learning from people with a passion for outdoor living and indigenous crafts, everything from weaving to hunting, fungi and plant lore to flint craft and carving, i'm always learning and practicing the skills i acquire and keen to share this with like minded folk if they ask, if i live to a 100 i'll still consider myself a total novice paddling ankle deep at the shores of an ocean of knowledge.
It was after lighting my first fire by friction i knew i was on the right path, my favourite method is with a bow drill set.
Anyhoo enough waffle for now, please say hello and if you could tell me what you love about bushcraft and why it's a passion for you that would be the best welcome i could ask for (then i know who to ply for info and what i can start to learn from you all).
thanks in advance
Rob
