Midori says Hi!

[Midori]

Hello All,

I'm Midori, veteran camper, Bronze and Iron Age Living History demonstrator,
trying to learn some of the things my ancestors would have taken for granted.

I need to increase my skills PDQ, as our group is booked to demonstrate Bronze age skills in August and September and our leader will be elsewhere. (He's the guy with the major know-how and most of the equipment).

Firestarting, cordage and simple baskets are the main things I need to know about first. Any and all advice would be gratefully received.

Many thanks,

Midori

hello there, good to have you onboard, keep browsing and i am sure you will find the answers to the majority of your questions, the natives here are extremely knowledgable.

Sounds like you need to get yourself to a meet up or the bush moot.

You'll meet loads of knowledgeable people at those and even the odd living history type too...

Welcome Midori. Check out the articles and tutorials. Or alternatively you could try and hire Wayland to lead the demonstration for you - check out the link in his signature

Hi Midori,

Welcome to BCUK.

Not sure what methods of firelighting etc. were used in the Bronze age. If you ask specific questions here you will get specific answers.
As suggested, the meets are great events for sharing skills and seeing demos. I'd be interested in info on basket making myself.

Hi Midori welcome aboard. Do you know Japanese? Midori is 'Green' in Japanese, but I expect you knew that already

Welcome Midori and thanks for your reply about the Bongo. I can't help with the specifics but there's lots of information in these forums. Make sure you use the search link at the top - you'll be surprised at how much info is here, I'm sure.

Hello and welcome to bcuk

Have a look at his thread i started about nettle cordage.

Use the search it's a great tool there's loads of stuff in the database that should answer your questions when you've read around a bit and you can't find what you need ask away.
