Other Than Bushcraft....

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Work - yes, you guessed it, IT :) I think its a combination of being stuck with technology all day wanting to get me outside, and also the continual access to the forums on a high-speed internet link that does it :D

Hobbies - Some close to bushcraft ones:
Herbs and herbalism, and gardening when I get the chance - used to have an allotment
Woodcarving and joinery (again when I get the space)
Homebrew and wine-making

Others:
Juggling and Fire Performance
Chair of Beltane Fire Society, organiser for Beltane Fire Festival and others in Edinburgh
Playing the Mandolin
Swing Dancing
Cooking and Baking
Cycling
Genealogy
 
Work: Non-IT - shocker! (Finance)

Play: Hiking, photography, music (mainly listening, but playing and composing too when I get the chance), gardening and I dabble in millions of other things as well, on and off.
 
I'm a total computer/video game freak. I can't get enough of them. I play games all the time. I also play bass guitar and have done for 4 years, I guess music is my biggest escape. I love it. It kinda makes me sad sometimes because I can't write anywhere near the standard of music I listen to, but as time goes by I guess i'm getting used to that. I guess that's it really. I used to be a student but after two successful college failures at two seperate establishments I guess my academic life is over. I'm currently unemployed, trying to fix my brain before I even attempt to get a job. I'm considering volunteering for the forestry commission. :)
 
I'm a student (lawschool - Erasmus university Rotterdam, NL). So this takes most of my time :(

Work as a Builder.

Playtime, my son Zach age 3 :D (cant wait to teach him bushcraft), bushcraft, hiking, green laning (on motorbike), drinking, eating, geocaching, spending money on bushcraft gear, bit more drinking :beerchug: and a tad more eating, then resting from all that food and beer, oh and at the moment spending alot of my time on the BCUK site and DIY but not through choice (the wife scares me into it :AR15firin ).
