Hi Everyone, I'm a new member and am wondering why I didn't join earlier, the site looks amazing !. About 12-13 years ago for a birthday present my pal bought me a ticket to The Bushcraft Show in The lake district, and that lit the passion fuse for all things bushcraft. I'm a people person who loves spending time in the woods either on my own or with others. I generally hammock, have camped out every year since that 1st bushcraft show, the challenge though has been finding locations. I was recommended to join this site last week and now that I have done so, I'm really looking forward to being part of this community. Ideally I would love to hook up with people/meets/woods local to me, I'm about 30 minutes away from Birmingham airport. Interested in everything bushcraft, would love to know more about tree identification and cast iron pan cooking, I still need to use my 4.5ltr that I bought last year All the best ...Paul

If you're able to make the meet, even for a day, you just post your name on the list as per the instructions.

Failing that drop @woodspirits a message
