New member from Lincs

[shootfive]

Good afternoon all,

I'm a new member and also newbie to the 'buchcraft' scene. I've been reading, reading, reading picking up information. I have some kit already (I hunt with an air rifle which has led me to have oddments of DPM, surplus rucksack, Opinel, etc).

I'm looking to pick up advice and maybe a few bits of secondhand kit here and there and get out for a few nights. Maybe even take the missus when she comes around to the idea.

So hi all,
Thanks for the info gleaned so far, and I look forward to joining in.

Jamie

Oh and I've had my 'coming-of-age' moment already - I made a stainless drainer 'hobo' stove. Spot on!

Thanks for the welcomes, guys!

Got so many questions to ask but I'll save them for the relevant forums (after I give the Search button some hammer).

The main one though, could anyone point me in the direction of the ins and outs of where you can/can't go for a night or two?

Do you guys all use sites set up for the purpose with suitable woodland? Presumably not, as some of you seem far moer 'outdoors' than a commercial site.

I only ask as I have had to learn prior to getting out with the air rifle that ALL land belongs to someone and you need to be careful when bimbling about with a rifle. Do you have to get equally careful when hoping to get out for a night or two, and seek permission from the landowner, or are there 'accepted' areas of the country for campers/hikers/bushcrafters?

Hi Jamie and welcome aboard. Scotland is the place to be, camp more or less where you want. Different in England as 'officially' you need permission from the land owner, although there are exceptions where it is more tolerated than others. Someone will be along soon with more info i'm sure.

there's nowhere locally where you can just go and officially camp. it is generally a case of seeking permission from land owners, as with hunting. parts of dartmoor and i think the lakes allow camping with certain restrictions. to be honest, have a look on google earth, there are literally hundreds of acres of forestry commission and woodland trust woodland in lincs. start exploring and you soon find opportunities, or they find you.

Welcome Jamie!

... give the Search button some hammer ...

Good plan.

The main one though, could anyone point me in the direction of the ins and outs of where you can/can't go for a night or two?

Given what you've told us I'd guess that you're probably at least as well aware as anyone here of the issues. It's well covered in other forum threads.

Hit that search button.

Welcome!

I hope you do manage to get your missus out with you! she doesn't know what she is missing! There are plenty for 'feminane' stuff she can get up to while your doing your 'guy bit' Such as painting, crafts, photography, plant and fruit gathering etc etc
