Hi Joe and a very warm welcome aboad BCUK.

Hope you've recovered from the weekend. Shame you could'nt fit the bows in the car. However a good reason to practice those knife skills with that shiny new Mora J gave you.

As Leon-1 mentioned there is a huge amount of information here. I suggest you have a play with the search engine and see what comes up and if your not sure of something you'll find plenty of friendly folks here to help.

Love the avatar BTW - cool

Best wishes

David (AKA Moduser :D)

I have to agree with that Son.

Welcome to BCUK, now you can see what I've been going on about for so long :rolleyes: :D

I would like you all to meet my Eldest, he's a great kid with a real interest in anything outdoors. He already know how to light a fire, make a bow and can ask more questions than can be answered :lmao:

Hi Joe,


Welcome to the BCUK community...

Loads of stuff to learn here, including coffee for British Red no doubt, have put your bows and arrows in the shelter so you will be able to use them next time, you just need to fletch the arrows.

All the best

Remember what David and I told you mate (and practice at home).

Get lots of little stuff together first so you can "feed" the fire. Get the little stuff going well first for a few minutes and gradually add slightly thicker stuff in that criss cross pattern I showed you.

Don't "smother it" with too much stuff too quick but build up gradually.

I did a big write up on fire stuff a while ago - GW should be able to print it off for you

Get GW to make you a big metal tin (an old roasting dish or something) so you can practice outdoors. When you wear that firesteel out I'll make you another one - but remember - always get GW or Hawthorn to watch (they need to learn to make me coffee too :D)

Be lucky mate

Stitch, remember what Red told you at the weekend? Wood is only wet on the outside. Cut the outside off and it's dryer. Also, remember us cutting those trees down? :lmao: Plus, we have a big wood about half an hour away from us....we can always collect some next time we go. Chill out matey :rolleyes: :D

You KNOW you can make fire, now you have to learn the details of doing so, and there'll be plenty of information on how to do so on this forum, and the other you've just joined up to.

(((((hugs)))))) and big sloppy mum kisses *grins wickedly*
