How did you find BCUK?

[Great Pebble]

Can't remember for the life of me, but this much I do know. The word "bushcraft" didn't feature in me finding it. I do believe, IIRC that I found the site first, then the forum.

I have not been persuaded by my contact with anyone here to "do" spoons.

Mek!

*just as a thought - would it be an idea to `advertise` the Community section a bit more on the main front page?

Just a thought

This is being addressed so it will not be an issue for much longer

As a Brit living in Egypt for the past 10 years, we spend a fair bit of time in the desert. In our quest for info. first found Equipped to Survive, then Knifeforums, then Bladeforums, then Ron & Karen's Survival.com (excellent!!) followed by British Blades and hence here... phewww!!!!
I suppose you could take this as my intro as it's my 1st post.
Hi folks!!

I was searching for a kit list for the woodlore course. I thought it would be good to see what they said you needed for a trip. This site came up so I had a look around.

Intro'd to the site by Jamie @ Woodland Organics - dude :You_Rock_

I'd been in the woods for years & as we tend to be more solitary people had never met anyone else with the same passion for the subject till recently. Met folks on Survival School & ShadowHawk courses who have been nothing but positive about the forum.

Have been getting to know new folk and share ideas - which has been great for affirming my sanity!

cheers all :super:

I've been here from the start , Tony was a student on one of the woodlore courses I taught on and it was down hill from there!!

Seriously though, I still think this is a tremendous site and I for one give it and Tony a :biggthump

Well, I met some geezer at the Wilderness Gathering doing knife sharpening demo's, sat next to a stall enthusiastically selling very reasonably priced georgeous looking finnish knives. Got chatting to him about schools and courses and he handed me a card for BCUK.... logged on one lunch time at work about a month later, got banned about a week later...now i'm a MOD ? :?: . go figure

And Yeh, a big thanks to Tone, Ed, Adi and Kath for getting it and keeping it all together ! :super:

Cheers
Rich

 

[Gary]

Who was that GEEZER then Rich??

 

[TheViking]

Found it via a danish outdoor life site and clicked "community" in the top bar.

 

[Ridge Runner]

I found out about it through a site called:

www.ar15.com

I had bought a 35L Swedish Backpack and was telling others about it. One person referred me to this site because of the reviews of the pack that were given here.

 

[Andy]

got banned about a week later...now i'm a MOD ? :?: . go figure

Cheers

What did you do to get banned? Are you suggesting the us youthful people should rebel against everything and become mods in our time?

 

[JakeR]

Tone, can you ban me as well? Then make me a mod

Where is the BCUK link on the Woodlore site ? :?:

Joe, i got a book last christmas and it told me the name of what i liked to do the most! (PM about lanyard)

[BorderReiver]

Followed the link on BB and liked what I found

Moderating the forums @ Equipped. Doug and I noticed a disproportionate number of our members were from G.B. I believe Justin mentioned Bushcraft and I promptly forgot about it. When you have to read EVERY post for potential flames,spamms and vulgarities that does happen. I mean, we have a post going that has passed 77 replies and received 8000+ hit so far. So then one day I found the site. I hurried back to my own cyber turf and posted an announcement, drawing the wrath of a bruised brit ego who reminded me of his post. Now Justin is a mod in his own right and learning the Herculean tasks of diplomacy, enforcement and talking to people in outer Mongolia via P.M.s who can't log on and gee, what do you mean you can't figure out whats wrong from there?

 

[ScottC]

I can't remember but i'm glad I found it, think It might have been a search for something on UK knife law ?

Stumbled on it following a Google search for Bushcraft about a year ago. Enjoyed the articles and 200 degrees etc but only went onto the Community section last August. Now getting a bit addicted.....is there an antidote? Nah..don't bother..
