Heads up - Paul Kirtley blog

[barryasmith]

Hi all,

I thought I'd share with you a great resource which will be worth watching over the coming months.

Some of you may have come across Paul Kirtley who worked for Woodlore as Ray Mears course director. As well as being responsible for the programme Paul lead many of their courses until autumn last year when he moved on to pursue new interests.

Paul is an extremely knowledgeable outdoorsman and tutor of bushcraft. There aren't many people around that would fail to learn something from him.

So whats the resource then? Well, Paul has just started to write his own blog with a series of articles/guides on the subject of bushcraft and survival. There's not loads on there yet, but the articles that he has posted are well written and informative.

Its a free resource and from talking to Paul I know he's happy to receive suggestions on subjects that he might cover in his work.

He's far too polite to get into self promotion so I thought I would do a bit for him and let everyone on BCUK benefit from it. Have a look and subscribe here:

Barry

His blog is excellent... there are a few threads discussing it and you are right, it needs promoting as it is a great resource.

+1 from me too. Very well written and great content. Read his tips for bow drill to my kids for bed time stories! Very clean site design too.

As JD says... it's an excellent site that's going to grow in to a very useful resource.

His latest entry about survival kits is very well informative and well worth reading.

I'd endorse Paul's blog too; I've read every one of his pieces thus far, and all have been well-written, well researched, informative and interesting. Can't get better than that I'd say!

Though his Facebook promotion must be costing him an arm and a leg!

Lurch there's a difference between self-promotion and advertising! You're right, it's not cheap - and I value my limbs - so I ran a couple of ads for a few days to let people know my blog was up...the rest has been word of mouth.

On that note - thanks to everyone for all your kind support. To re-iterate what Barry mentioned above; if there's anything you want to see covered on my blog, let me know.

By the way, Lurch I really like your website - smart use of Wordpress. Very clean design and good functionality. Nice work!

All the best

Paul

Yup, self promotion is cheaper! Maybe you should be a little less polite and keep hold of your extremities.
I ran some facebook ads for a while. ROI isn't very good.
I can't take credit for the wordpress layout, I have some very good help.
