Hi everyone
I'm a new member to this forum - hoping to get lots of useful advice on staying toastie warm in the arctic next year without buying loads of expensive gear.
I really love bushcraft - I did a weeks course last year, but failed miserably with friction firelighting (is this a woman thing? My tutors said not - it is technique - but none of us girls seemed to mabage it....). Spoon carving and string making was more my thing, and I can cook a mean rabbit stew. I am just about to do another week, which I am getting a bit nervous about because I haven't managed to put any of my skills to the test over the last year (work and family ife sometimes gets in the way!!).
And now I have just booked to do a week in the Arctic next Feb - I really hate the cold and I am asking mysef why have I done this!! But I'm sure it will be something I'll never forget!
Looking forward to meeting you all
