I'm not a bushcrafter.

[Broch]

I like to embrace the concept of the 'Seeker' trying to be capable at a wide range of skills and a little better at whatever I do each day - artist, student, teacher, healer, warrior, poet, musician, craftsman, hunter, and fool.

When people ask me what I am, and usually after a few drinks, I tell them I am a seeker. It's a concept that most people feel uncomfortable with

I like it Broch - tell the truth and mess with folks heads all at once

If we have to have labels, how about....."human"

If one day we wer to call that "Tingwalloping" I guess I'd call myself a "tingwalloper!"

Don't mess with the vikings, as this clip from the Polish movie 'Stara basn. Kiedy slonce bylo bogiem' aptly demonstrates...

post 87 of the third page of this thread and up til now the thread 'has' been good natured, a rambling conversation. Folks have put in their own tuppencehalfpennyworth without dispute.

I haven't read any other thread that related to the cybercrafter comment, and indeed no one has much commented on it otherwise. Where on Earth do you get trolling from ?

cheers,

and i'm only doing bushcraft till my xbox 360 arrives.
