Hello a very cliched start but hello

[JamesB]

Hello all as my profile says i'm very very new to Bushcraft in fact so new as to not own any books or videos on the matter. I'm here to learn about Bushcraft from those who are also learning themselves and obviouly those who are already experts. My reasons for wanting to learn are my travelling tendencies and that i'm never really going to be in one place ever so it's probably going to be handy to know. Also i really like nature so Bushcraft has really caught my interest.
So anyway hello all and i hope to learn much from you all

A warm welcome James.

If a measure of how new one is to bushcraft by how long you have had books or videos on the subject then I have been into bushcraft only 35 days! However, I have been a bit of a primitive pyromaniac for a bit longer than that.

You've already done it mate, welcome aboard.
Read a bit, do some searches, ask whatever questions you want, we were all beginners once.

Enjoy

Then choose the subjects that you would most like to learn about and dive in with those for a while. If you can get along to any of the meets, you'll learn masses (don't worry about not having the right colour jacket - we're quite forgiving like that).

I like your avatar Ogri.

Cheers mate,
I think I got it from the selection linked to the UserCP thingy - there are a few people using it now but I was fascinated when I first saw it. Approaching time for a change methinks.

Hi James, welcome, I am very new too but my lack of knowledge made up for by my enthusiasm. I try not to worry about showing my ignorance as everyone here is so friendly and helpful!

HI Mate and welcome to Bushcraft UK, it's good to have you.

When it comes to where to start it's got to be with something that you're interested in. Have a think about what you would like to do, if you would like to learn more about nature then think about how you can do that, is it get out there with some references and start to learn the names of the animals, plants, fungi etc....this could lead you on to what uses they've got, cooking, medicinal, equipment/tools etc....if you wanted to go down this rout you could think about any equipment you might need...Books, a knife, rucksack? Or you could go down another route and want to learn more about tracking and the like.....

Some people get into as much as they can on all different subjects, some concentrate on a few, the beauty of it all is there's always more to learn and do, you just need to pick where you want to start...Seriously, have a think about what interests you and start from there and just let yourself travel the paths that follow, I guarantee that it'll be a fantastic journey.

It's been mentioned already, but get to the meets if you can, there's some fantastic people get together via the site. You'll meet some highly skilled people that can show you all sorts.

Enjoy the site
