Hey,
Just joined so thought I'd introduce myself....brilliant forum by the way!
Reet, I've been into the bushcraft thing since I was maybe 10, when I got and read probably 20 times (the original!) bushcraft book by a bloke called Raymond Mears (before he changed his name to Ray, found TV and good food......!).
I've always been interested in the outdoors, walking etc and did a 3 year apprenticeship in horticulture after leaving school, then eventually becoming Head Gardener of a 40 acre historic estate.
In Sept 2011 I took voluntary redundancy thanks to Mr Cameron, found a great website called Helpx, and decided I'm gonna live my life helping out other people round Europe (and probably further in the future) in exchange for good food, a bed, seeing some great places and meeting fantastic people.....basically living my life the way I want without all the sh:te the way most people live with now......so far its been unbelievable!!
Anyway, I'm back in Northumberland at the moment with plenty time on my hands so I've been getting back to the bushcraft and hoping to learn more, improve on skills before I'm away again......and put to good use what I've learnt!
