Just a quick Hello, I'm Graham, I live in Manchester. I was a Scout leader for 32 years until Xmas this year.
I've always taught what I consider to be traditional scouting skills, such as fire lighting, shelter building, basic survival, so what might be called Bushcraft. I've camped for years with the scouts and with my family. In November last year I got covid, spending 9 weeks in ICU and eventually coming home 2nd week of Jan. Partly for this reason I decided to quit scouts and concentrate on doing stuff for me and the family. I'm slowly recovering and have watched a lot of videos largely on camping and bushcraft in recent months and I'm keen to get back out into nature asap. Even thinking of buying some woodland to use for camping and bushcraft etc.
