Hey all,
just a quick intro to me.
My name is James and I live in Scotland (so lucky to have our laws on camping) not really done much in the way of internet forums and I only post if I have an opinion that's not already been said so my post count wont shoot up fast. Done camping since I was a bairn and I just love the outdoors and the lack of technology when I am there. Knackered my back a number of years ago so just getting back into bushcrafting and it like seeing an old friend for the first time in ages. I don't practice to much in the way of light packing as I am a big laddie so the first thing to lighten would have to be me belly
I am looking to move from tents to hammocks and have my eye on Tenth Wonder Hammocks, the reviews I have seen so far have all been very positive so I think that will be my first shot at hammock camping.
I enjoy trying to make things (trying being the operative word at times) i have managed to make a paracord bullwhip which is great to use but I hated making it as I was stupid not to wear gloves while braiding the cord. Just started taking a more serious stab at leather crafting as I really enjoy it, its not cheap but get some real enjoyment when someone asks me to make something and they love the finished article (gives me a big head but I get real nervous in case its not what they wanted) plus it gives me the chance to make stuff for myself and my friends when we cant find the item we want.
I try not to take life to serious as its way to short and there is enough crap that happens in life without me adding to it
Oh and while I mind I chose the username Trilbyinthewoods as I always wear a Trilby (started off as a way to stop the bald bits getting burned in the summer) and I dont know anyone else that wears a Trilby while camping.
All the best
James
