this has been a great thread to read - i thought twice about posting the question as i was feeling jaded plus i thought i would get crucified.
however i find that many who have responded to the post echoes my thoughts and are much better at articulating the point than i ever will be able to.
i thnk its very important to as best we can keep it a grass roots thing and avoid the comercial
trap which will certainly kill it all off .
on that point i congratulate bushcraft uk for its moots which are as far away from comercial and have the warmth of love of the activity
