Introduction

[8thsinner]

Hi all.
I just found this place after a referal from razor strop who I met this weekend on a bushcraft course, great guy.
Other members from here were there but I am unaware of their handles.

Well I have been camping and into bushcraft of various levels of dedication for most of my life. I have only the past few years dedicated myself to specific skills and taking courses.
I have done a few various things job wise including furniture design and building custom works for ppl, as well as factory furniture production. Leather work is a major interest and spent a few years making bondage gear, not quite suitable for here but great experience with leather itself.
I have also taught kids in an outdoor activity centre, which was great fun and would do it again.

I hope to develop my skills this year in order to live in the wild for months at a time with little more than a knife and clothing, it will take time but I will get there.

I have looked around here and found this to be a great site, and hope you guys will become face to face friends at meets and what not.

Nice simple intro really .......

Hi 8th

Good to have you aboard mate, welcome to the site!

I was one of the "unknown handles" on the course

Thanks for all the welcomes,
Hi bikething, you have PM (it's just the way I am)
Thanks for letting me test the blades, my gf loved her new hatchet, I think she still prefers a khukuri though.....Women....I guess it is more shiny.......

It will take me a while to get used to going round this place, I have allready lost where I am in replies.lol.

And wolf thing, thats not a bad guess on the 8th sin, but to be honest It means so much more than you could imagine.
It has meanings in physics, philosophy, freedom and more.....I could never write them all down to be honest.
Just have a real good look at the number 8 next time you see it, like just now.
You might gain some enlightment, you might not, it took me all my life to find one paticularily important reference in it.


See you in there.

I've just had a big long look at the number 8 and I have come to the conclusion it is a snowman, so I now picture you as a naughty snowman.
Welcome to the site..................Jon

The 8th Sin was a film released last year.

But i'd have to say that the 8th Sin these days must be intolerance.

Welcome to BCUK by the way
