Insurance or wavers

[Widgy grub]

Hi folks,
So you've found somewhere to play , in negotiations with the land owner....
Do any of you acquire public liability insurance or mention signing a waver so the owner cannot be held responsible if a tree falls on you??

 

[woodstock]

By producing public liability farmers are more willing to let you shoot on their land, a waver means ziltch,zero.BASC costs about £15 a year, or if its a class 1 BASA is about the £45 mark but well worth it in my opinion.

If you hold Public Liability insurance you are not insured against injury, only the Public. Thus the landowner might still suffer financially through his actions or inactions if they affect you. Probably he should hold such insurance if he lets people wander onto his land. However judges have been really sensible recently about natural hazards.

Does anyone actually have insurance?

 

[redandshane]

Its the farmer who needs and will already have insurance for any untoward occurrences on his land. He has given you permission to be there

Does anyone actually have insurance?

Thats a silly question really there's a whole industry based around insurance Not that I agree but ..........

 

[ozzy1977]

Hardly an industry based around bushcraft insurance is there.

 

[redandshane]

What do you want insured for specifically that's bushcraft ?There is nothing that is specifically bushcraft ; injury is injury ;damage is damage; death is death; loss is loss You can insure anything you want for a price.And please don't troll me

 

[ozzy1977]

I am not trolling anyone, I was asking a simple question.

 

[SJStuart]

ozzy was genuinely asking if anyone in here actually has pertinent insurance. Absolutely no "trolling" or sarcasm intended in his asking, and it's a perfectly rational question.
