Just looked at that Wildwood bushcraft site...one thing that caught my eye was

"Our team includes an experienced ecologist and qualified bushcraft instructor "

How does one become qualified at bushcraft instruction?

 

[leon-b]

just thought i would tell you that a muntjak deer walked about 2 meters away from me yesterday, it stood there for about 10 seconds and then made a run for it, i dont know why it ran all i was doing was sitting on a bench. anyway it must have been a young deer as it was only about 45cm tall, it is not spectacular infact i have seen loads of muntjak round my way, mostly in the woods they are quite common here
sorry didnt have a camera on me

I reckon if you can use it, is worth a fiver. So long as it doesn't have any holes in it and it fits on your back, you're a winner!

 

[leon-b]

yes it doesnt have an adjustable back system but it is comfy so i take it, it fits me ok, it has loads of pockets. i am going to cornwall in a week so i will use it to hold all of my stuff for the trip (non bushcraft holiday) most of it will be clothes

The CD ROM teaches you how to make a set, so I think we should consentrate on technique and getting embERS! If you are successful, we can then make a set. I have enough materials for you to take a set home anyway. Bring a length of para cord with you by the way.

 

[leon-b]

so we will practice but i will still get to take a set home am i right, i have run out of paracord but i think some was sent to you for me so we can use that

[leon-b]

hi guys,i am starting a new hole in the hearthboard for the bow drill but the hole doesnt seem to be burning in, do i need to put more pressure down?, do i need to drill faster?
