About time I said hello to all !
I was at the Bushmoot and had popped up on the forum just before but not done a proper intro.
I'm a 48-year old male, from rural north Lancashire. I was lucky enough to grow up playing in the woods and have enjoyed outdoor activities all my life.
An interest in traditional crafts, low-impact living and the environment has brought me to the Bushcraft scene quite recently. I've lurked on the forum a bit, but not posted (I'm not much of a one for banter, I prefer to 'do stuff'). I've only attended two Bushcraft events, the big show last year at Windermere, and the moot this year. I found both really enjoyable and rewarding, but in completely different ways.
I particularly enjoy the camp-craft side of bushcraft, and often cook group meals for the people I'm camped with. This year at the moot I fulfilled an ambition by baking my first loaf of bread in the woodburner I have in my tent.
I'm looking forward to the next opportunity to get out there and do stuff with like-minded people.
Oh yeah, my real name is Andy !
PS. Just re-read this, I've done loads of bread before, just not in a tent until last week..
