Hi, My name is Brian Curnel, I live in Northern Alabama and I own and operate a wilderness school here in Alabama but mostly operate it in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Clayton, GA. I have been an outdoor educator for 15 years about 12 of those being in outdoor survival and Primitive Technology. Bushcraft, Campcraft whatever it is I have a passion for it. Anyway, I just wanted to say a bit about myself so that the community knows who and what I am.

G'day
Brian

Hiya Brian sounds to me your a lucky guy, Blue Ridge Mountains how fantastic, so come on then.............how much for me to come out and do a course.

Welcome to BCUK
 
Thanks all for such a welcoming greeting! I really hope that I'll be able to contribute to this great community!

Joker...are you joking here? LOL yes though I am a luck man but it also has it's price. Primitive Technology is not that popular here unfortunately, though I am trying every year to get more interest in outdoor activities such as Bushcraft. people just will not seem to make the time to do these things here like they will in the UK and Australia. The mentality here is just depressing when it comes to individuals being involved with PT. But anyway come over and we'll just hang out for Zero cost! :You_Rock_

I had the USA down as far more advanced than the UK! But this forum does seem to have brought people together and we have probably come on fast in the last couple of years.

Welcome to the forum Brian. A new friend indeed. I've always maintained that I'll treat each man I meet as a new friend, unless he proves me to be wrong...........

Is that a serious invitation? You could wake up to find a dozen or more of us on your doorstep one morning! *LOL*
