Hello all.
I haven't read other intro's so I hope this is OK. Being a 40 something year old with 3 young children I've been rediscovering my love of the outdoor life.
I've always enjoyed camping and doing simple "bushcraft" from pioneering to camp craft etc but would like to extend my knowledge. I've always been a very practical person who enjoys a challenge.
If I had to explain to someone why I love the outdoors I'd have to try and explain how satisfying it sounds when the rain beats down on a tarp or tent and you're dry underneath or how satisfying it is after a long day of doing "stuff" to sit round an open fire that maybe you lit.
While my children are into their DS's and tablets, they also enjoy the more simple things in life. Hopefully I'll learn more here and pass it on.
Thanks for reading.
Phil
