So.. what happened...

[demented dale]

I mean seriously.

This place used to be a hub of conversation, knowledge sharing, chewing the fat, friends and like for like... tit for tat...

I know i've been away a while.... but damn... online Bushcraft is a dead donkey... What's going on?

There's literally nowhere.... Since the Ray and Bear days, that even have an interest in the subject...

Are we to blame? The old timers? Have we forgotten how to forum... or do we just think we know everyhing already? Or did we never do much to start with? Learned all we need to... now we browse... don't contribute in our perceived superiority?

Place wont get better if we dont make it better... It didnt start on a high... took time...took people being bothered enough to put the finger work in on their keyboards.. took curiosity, it took a desire for knowledge... when did that get lost?

I think what anything was like in the past is irrelevant. The interest in bush craft peaked and dipped after ray mears helped to reintroduce it to a wider audience. It is altogether quieter. There is still a lot to learn and contribute and I think we do that. I dont come on here much because I am out every day applying and passing on the knowledge that I learnt from places like these . x
