Hello,
I've been reading threads on this forum for the last few months and thought it would be time to join to gain more knowledge of bushcraft and what it takes to put it to practice.
Like most of you, I have always been an avid watcher of Ray Mears, admiring his personality, skills, and knowledge of survival and bushcraft. This I suppose is my main source of influence, as well as always watching documentaries on other cultures living a natural life style using bushcraft, and developing my own personal admiration for nature and self sufficiency.
I believe that today's society is far from natural, and even if I live within it, I would like to be someone with appreciation and knowledge of the natural world, and how to survive and look after it using my own knowledge and skills
I'm very interested in wildcamping, since this I feel is one of the purest ways of being in connection with nature and living within it. As well as traditional crafts and survival skills. I'm a very practical person, working methodically and logically, and feel I have the aptitude to make bushcraft a part of my life.
Last summer I took my girlfriend to a local woodland, where we practiced minimalist camping, identifying tree's and plants as well as fire making. Using the ethos of 'Leave No Trace'. I would like now to gain more information and skills to practice bushcraft more often! I have been looking at some bushcraft courses which I think would be great for taking a first step into learning new skills.
I will likely be asking questions and looking for as much information as possible!
Thanks,
Chris
