I've been lurking around these parts for a couple of weeks now and thought it was about time I said hello. Me in a nutshell: I'm 33, live in the Wiltshire countryside with my OH, kids, dogs & chickens.
I've always been at my happiest when I'm outdoors just doing normal outdoorsy/country-ish things e.g. camping, walking, openfire cooking, hedgerow basketry. My other half is the serious bushcrafter of the family and he's kindled my interest in taking things a step further - I'm very much a newbie and so am at the babysteps stage - dammit I WILL master the mysterious art of feathering sticks one of these days!
I confess I had a few misconceptions - i.e. that to be a self-proclaimed bushcrafter it helped if you were:
(a) a bloke
(b) a little bit knife obsessed
(c) a camo-clad-machoman-wannabe-rambo!
...and as I don't qualify on any of those points I thought I wasn't allowed to play Rest assured, such daft ideas have now been firmly put in their place.
Anyway, enough of my waffle, I'm looking forward to learning and sharing (you all seem such a lovely friendly bunch!) and who knows, maybe one day sharing an ale (or several) around the campfire.
