I'm not wanting to cause an argument but was wondering why it was felt a need for a ladies section ? There's not a Mens section and Bushcraft has no gender boundries surely. Bushcraft is for everyone kids too. The forum is for Bushcraft full stop, and if a lady has a particular question about say suitable boots or rucksacks with ladies fit then a lady can answer on the site or a man who may have some tips from their girlfriends or wives. I can't think of anything involved in Bushcraft that would be gender or age specific. No one is being deprived of anything. If you,ve got a question, need advice or have a tip etc connected with Bushcraft, and that's what the site is for, post it whether your black, white,male, female young old, disabled, abled or any other. And your answer will come from anyone of the above groups. This site is for people who love Bushcraft and a very fine site it is too with very good members of all genders and ages with a goldmine of knowledge between us. I say keep it simple and EVERYONE is welcome round the fire, on all parts of the site, from ALL groups
