Wanted Bushcraft guinea pig

[johnboe522]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if there was anybody just starting out in bushcraft that would be interested in a FREE no catch!! Basic bushcraft lesson, I am just after fine tuning my bushcraft teaching skills and wanted some practice on a real person or persons.

I am based in Dorset.

Any takers?, I throw in to the floor

Cheers

JB

Yes please.

I will warn you that I am as narly a individual as you might ever find.

That's a grand offer, I'm sure someone will help you on your journey. It will be reward enough to be able to give someone the practical knowledge to go out and perfect a new skill set. Good luck :thumbup:

Ha ok not 100% sure what a narly individual is but hey ho !!

With 6000 odd posts surely you know most things already?!?

 

[Tengu]

No, I dont. No one does.

Narly, perverse, willfull, unsociable....

....And not at all like a guinea pig. I dont squeak.

 

[johnboe522]

Cool sounds good, when is the best sort of time for you? I was thinking of covering basic bow drill and shelter making then a bit of firelighting, how does that sound?

Still open to others more the merrier

Good offer . Too far for me


I must admit, I did wonder whether you were going to ask 'How many would be needed to pull a sled?' or 'Which breed makes the best tracker?'.



:sad6: Sorry, got Man-Flu and I think my mind may be broked .

I wouldn't mind as i have never attended a bush craft coarse, I'm also in Wiltshire so could share petrol expenses with tengu?

Hi JB.

I could be a guinea pig if needed. I'm not too far away in Gloucs.

I have a kinda Teflon brain, so if you're able to teach me someting, then you've pritty much got it licked

Thanks for coming forward I will sort some dates out and then we can take it from there, are weekends any good for you guys, I work shift some mid week is doable too.

 

[greenwood]

weekends OK for me can do weekdays but would have to give up holiday time

Can you sort out a kit list of what to take/bring and if to take food plz

Yeah not a problem, lets say a weekend then, date to be confirmed, I will sort a location and set things up and we will take it from there.

I will PM you with futher details. Do you have a bow drill set? Cause if you don't you will leave the day having made one to keep. How does that sound?

 

[greenwood]

No i haver'nt a bow drill set, so yes, that sounds grand!:You_Rock_

 

[Bushwhacker]

Whereabouts in Dorset, have you got some land?

I am based in ferndown/blandford area, as for land not yet, do you know of any? I have a few contacts to work from.

 

[johnboe522]

Well I have a field to go to but not woodland. So fires are aloud but the fire wood will have to be brought in.

 

[Tengu]

I am free weekends but not weekdays termtime

 

[Wildgoose]

Depending on the date I'd be up for this if there's still spaces.
