How did you come to Bushcraft UK

[Stuart]

I was told about the site at the Outdoor show 2004 by someone doing a firedrill demo,outside under a parachute, not sure which school he was with though.

that was the BushcraftUK stand in 2004, the guy doing the bowdrill demos was Dave from wildlife

That could be why he told me about BCUK then!

I was planning a trip to the lake district and did a few internet search topics, I think.

It's quite interesting looking at oldbie member's first posts!

Good job Tony and Team!

Google search, if I recall correctly. This was one of the sites I booked marked whilst researching basha and poncho setup's prior to a trip

 

[Greg]

I did a google search for bushcraft whilst looking for a decent information forum, I did find a few others but this was by far the best, I tested the waters for a while before diving in and becoming a full member and haven't looked back since.

 

[Matt Weir]

I too think it was via a google search for bushcraft.

You haven't got the 'saw it on the back of a t-shirt' option.

 

[Steve R]

Google search for 'Bushcraft Discussion board'.

BCUK was one of the ones that turned up.

I kept putting searches for stuff like "cordage how-to-make" "knotweed whistles how-to-make" "how-to-cook ......(any wild plant)" etc etc. I just kept ending up here and thought blooming Hel you lot know alot of stuff . Then I put "hogweed" as google search one day, came here read a thread and thought I should contribute to the table rather than just eat from it.

Having found this fantastic place like that though I am really careful what words I put together. Like I try not to say mushroom and m@gic in the same sentance.

I just had to follow the link from Magikelly's S.O.T.P. .
As I already hunt,shoot,fish,forage,canoe,it seemed the next logical step.

I think I'd seen an(the?) old Bushcraft site whilst at Uni. I've gradually got more involved and now I live on my own I can spend as long as I want perusing our lovely forums!
Just wish we all put in more tutorials and projects (now, where's my camera gone )

 

[Jodie]

UKTV had a bit of a bushcraft frenzy in July last year and that's why I'm here.

 

[Dr Onion]

Like the holy grail, I saw the link shining before me and it drew my mouse towards it almost as if something or someone was guiding it.

Then I realised it was me!

 

[Dances with Wolves]

Google searches for Bushcraft Information and this was the best site by far. Hense why I stayed and signed up!

Wolves.

 

[brancho]

google search for several different things (knives axes and food I think) and I did lurk for while.

 

[JulianWormwood]

Googling for ways of packing lighter for when me and my girlfriend go camping this summer.

 

[dommyracer]

if you have been on a bushcraft course, did you find Bushcraftuk then go on a course or the other way around?

Last year I was looking to go a bushraft course and was doing some searching around for people running courses. I came across a review (written by BCUK user 'useless') of a course put on by a school called 'Wildlore' by the user 'useless' and never looked back - went on a course with them, went on another course with them and even met Mr Useless!

After Mr.the Trog and I attended the same fundamental bushcraft course at Woodlore in 2008, he pointed me here to get in touch with the rest of the community.

Since then no turning back, I've made some new friends [you know who you are;-)]
and I'm picking up handy hints.

Many thanks to all of you for building this community into what it is.

Cheers, Alan.

At first I thoght it was kind of stupid until I realized there was a forum. I guess nothing really caught my attention at first.

 

[Chinkapin]

Was looking for woodlore type sites that were NOT about surviving in the woods after the "pockyclips" and having to fend of the Lord Humungus and his band of biker-berserkers on the prowl for "juice." Rather, one that dealt with the just the type of topics discussed on here.
