Hi all,
I'm very new to the whole Bushcraft scene, and what with living in Swindon at the moment, I'm finding it very difficult to find places and time to do stuff! Luckily, I'm escaping in a few weeks' time to go up the Black Isle in Northern Scotland.
I've got a Mora, a certain kind person bought me an SFA and I've also got all sorts of bits and bobs from my days in the cadet force (don't tell my QM!). I'll be living outside for two weeks and would welcome any and all advice or suggestions on what I should do with myself.
(By the way ... don't worry, I'm not just disappearing into the wilderness unprepared, I'm living with some friends in yurts, etc.)
I intend to to all sorts of plant identification, fire-making (friction, spark), shelter-building, cordage-making...
...but I'm sure the crowd here will have lots more ideas, as well as any other advice, no?
