HI from Keswick

[andynic]

Hi sorry I know i have posted before but ever introduced myself. I live in the lakes in keswick perfect for bushcraft. I have recently been doing a bit of geocaching which took me back into the fells and slowly started wanting to learn more about my surrounding, Being a bit of a gear freek i went the edc tactical root as it seamed cool to learn about survival and the like but the more I began to look into gear I have slowly began to realise is its not what you have its how you apply it. I could have the coolest spyderco knife but know idea how to use it, Since the change i have stopped looking at expensive gear and started looking at knifes such as the mora range. I am slowly building up my kit and trying to keep the price down as it does mount up and trying to convince the wife I need more kit is getting harder. In her eyes a knife is a knife.

Any how my names Andy and pleased to meet you all.

Hi Andy and welcome. I love the lakes and have some great yearly trips there.usually around ambleside of late.mixing bushcraft with my love of photography.regarding kit i`ve come full circle as 10-15yrs ago spent a fortune on gear, were as now apart from good qualiy clothing and knife ,less is best.using as much natural resourse as my knowledge affords me.

Hi Andy I live in Penrith and agree the area is great for Bushcraft and as for gear there's no need to spend to much on gear as you say as there is lots of great kit that does the same job for less. Welcome
