Hello and welcome. Why don't you tell us a bit more about yourself? What brought you to a UK bushcraft forum all the way from West Coast USA? You mentioned to Tony that you were into hunting and crafting, but didn't say what you hunted or what you crafted. Sounds interesting. Do you have any photos of your projects?
Have you been on any other forums? Have you joined Bushcraft USA? They might have good stuff of a more local nature.
