Hi there,
Just signed up to try and learn more about bushcraft and self-reliance in the wild. I've been an outdoorsy type for ages but have mainly kept to the 'safe and consumer friendly' pursuits of walking, climbing, swimming etc.
My recent internet wonderings have sparked an interest in bushcraft and the skills that are necessary to 'make and do' in the wild. Can't profess any real experience or knowledge but I have enjoyed trying to make fire-pistons, cordage and various other bits and pieces. I think that the acquisition of new skills is in itself quite rewarding and the amount of info on this site alone shows that 'bushcraft' people are more than willing to share their knowledge.
I look forward to reading more and hope that you can help me with any questions I may have (apologies in advance for those! )
Hope theres some informal groups in the Manchester area that get together to 'do some bushcrafting'!
