Conclusions.
As we are getting into the winter months, I do not have to make any major decisions any time soon, (I dont/cant do cold).
The winter months will give me more time to look for a bit of permission and also to save up money for meets next year.
Carving etc can be practiced in the workshed.
It has been suggested that I find a subject to study up on, (given the subject of this thread, the Law on bushcraft might be a good one to look into
), particularly the area I am most worried about, how one Law bleeds into another
..eg, knife law states that a persons car is a public place, no smoking law states no smoking in an enclosed public place therefore, if some clever cop puts them together it is highly likely that a precedent will be set.
Smoking or not doesnt effect bushcraft but I am sure you can see where I am going with this.
It should be an interesting winter.
