I have absolutely no idea how I first became part of the clan...... But I'm glad I did. I've made some wonderful friends and met some awesome folk :D

I think I spotted tht bushcraft magazine in WHSmiths and after reading it I googled it but ended up on here. I haven't bought that mag since!!

BTW I was reading this thread from the beginning and got as far as the first reply to the OP. It was Ahjno (is that right?) and he was pleased at reaching his 600th post. I looked at his actual post and it was 3200 plus!! That's when I realised it was an old thread. This must be an old zombie being dragged up but still interesting. Although I suspect the google option is the most common. Well I'll post this then answer the poll myself. Its the google option I'll be a checking.

It seemed like for a while everything I wanted to learn or buy I would look for tips reviews etc and the first couple of pages of Google brought me here so now I've cut out the middle man (Google) and just play on here :D So glad I joined though have met some great people, had some great laughs and learnt more than I could ever have hoped to learn on my own.

Thanks BCUK :D

Mine was exactly the same, every bushcrafty search I did BCUK popped up with the answer so joined up and have learnt loads and bought more kit than I even imagined existed (my credit cards really love BCUK!) :D

I was into survival gear and camping, then I met another likeminded guy who told me about this site, the rest is history. I wished he had warned me of the addiction.

I had one of the first web pages dealing with uk knife law and noticed a lot of hits coming from a site called britishblades. I joined it and followed the link to here. Joined here pretty sharpish too!

I was using some Google-fu searching for paracord suppliers in the UK, and came across this place. I liked the look of it, and it only seemed appropriate as I was looking for paracord to wrap one of my knife handles because I'm wanting to get more into the outdoor scene, so perfect match!

I was searching for info on the Snugpak Response Pack...found all sorts of great kit photos and threads. Was a lurker for a couple of years then signed up for membership. Love this place.
