Hello

It's so nice to see new members welcomed like the ones I have been reading, Ive been viewing this site for a week or so and thought I should introduce myself as I've just signed up, I would'nt say I do bushcraft as yet but do whittle occasionaly around a fire with a Mora Whittle knife which is constantly needing sharpening, which did take me a while to master the technic of sharpening as I blunten it more than I sharpened it and used :o, my girlfriend and I love camping and being in the wilds of Cornwall, I am 40 / feel 30 in the head most days, im from Bournemouth but my family are Cornish hence the trips camping and scrabbling over the coast, fishing and camp fires. I love watching Ray Mears and Bear or any bushcraft / survival TV. outdoors is a must.

Ive been really keen to go on a Bushcraft weekend or day at some point when time permits as I work abroad frequently, so will take a look at whats happening near me, maybe the New Forest has some?

I purchased a RM 25th Anniversay Knife back a couple of years ago on a whim I totally could'nt afford it at the time, not even thinking I would actually secure one as limited, feel guilty as never used but more importantly it's never been enjoyed.

Anyway I look forward to gaining some great info from the site as I already have, also the knowledge from the members.

Many thanks

Lee
 
Hello Lee, and welcome. Nothing wrong with keeping the 25th Anni Woodlore as new, they are collectors items. Also, nothing wrong with using them either, horses for courses. Enjoy BcUk.
