Mornin' all,
Another 'hi' from Brizzle here (well, Weston-super-Mare actually)!
I'll probably get a lot of stick for admitting this, but I've caught the bushcraft bug from watching Dual Survival, Ray Mears and (*gulp*) Bear Grylls. At the moment I would describe myself as 'having all the gear with no idea'! I like getting outside and going hiking or camping, but I'm keen to start learning new skills and becoming more proficient at things so I can help others down the trail.
From what I can see on the forum, it looks like us South-Westers have had trouble getting regular meet-ups going, but I'd definitely be up for a pint of scrumpy if we do ever get it together.
Keep it real and all the best for 2013!
