even though i have got a knife and anaxe that i practice bushcraft with i have to use them in secret because my dad doesn't feel that i'm 'responsible' enough. i am honest

my parents trust me with a knife and an axe but they wont let me buy an axe for my self (the axe is my dads)

Looking forward to old age and dementia.

Whilst 47 is the conventional answer I have another more philosophical one. I am as old as the universe, because the sense of self is possibly a universal experience of all matter. Therefore I am not just the guy in this body but am also all things everywhere. I just cant feel my toes so to speak. Think about it. More awareness of a point like that could lead to world peace and harmony, or maybe just a few more admissions to mental health units?

Others might put different answers:-

The matter I am made up of now is not the matter I was born as - it has all changed around many times. So in that sense I am only a few milliseconds old as atoms are being exchanged with the rest of my environment all the time.

Then again my short term memory seems to be getting shorter, can only remember back a few seconds, so maybe that is how old I am.

Try the Explorer scouts, not a course but you will get to meet people who are interested in being outdoors and may even find the leaders have an interest in Bushcraft!
If you wantr details for Widnes Explorers drop me a PM

I have a body of 48 years and a mind of 25

Getting older just seems to mean that bits that already hurt, hurt a bit more and bits that didn't hurt start to hurt a bit

 

[Mr_Rimps]

My wife tells me I'm 43...sort of stopped counting when I was 30 something.

How does the saying go? " Girls mature while boys just get older"

I have just been to the funeral of a very close friend. He died of cancer at the age of 55. So my message is don't put things off, get out there and do it now, whatever you're age.

 

[Taiga]

Im 61 and i am told by my wife i must grow up,but if that means I must stop playing with my toys especially the pointy ones then growing up is not for me.

 

[fishaben]

He's 15 and I'm 54. Sometimes feel older but generally feel a lot younger. But after all, your as old as you feel.
Just curious but who is the person in the 80-89 group??

 

[Wibbl]

17, I feel really young among most of you people .

 

[huntersforge]

I am 34 but feel about 20 ,so that means when I am about 50 I should feel like I should feel now . I think ??
Anyway , age is no barrier to the bushcrafter . It all gets better with age .

 

[Aragorn]

33 going on 50 (i blame the kids, one 9, one 7mnths)

 

[sharp88]

have you asked your dad about using them ? what knife and axe do you have ?
leon

Woah far out. I had an axe since i was 14. I used it on my own since 15, goin on 2 years of independent, unsupervised axe use.

 

[AndyW]

33. Startig to fee like 43. It doesn't help that I hit 15/16 and people said I looked like I was 40 married with kids.

At least the mind is still young. Definitely stuck in the early 20's
