Well I love the smell of wood smoke and I have spent an aweful long time drifitng through woods. I also like the idea of smoke being used by many cultures as a symbol of the bond and journey between the living world and the spirit world. So that's me but to be honest when I first used it I had no idea it was related to a famous bushy school. It really peed me off when I found out it was already widely in use! pmsl
the only bushy thing id done lately before joining the site was an arctic challenge for charity got down to -35 and we were in a snow hole was an awesome time hence......... some like it cold

Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
Mine's cos I'm short (compared to my other half, anyway!), and, erm, a bit on the cuddly side. And the Am bit is part of my name.
I live in Canada and figure that is a bit of distance from BushcraftUK central command.
Also as a photojournalist, I try to grab every opportunity I can to get as far away from anywhere as possible, particularly to the arctic or unexplored jungle or the like.
The only other nickname I ever had was Doc. My school chums named me 30 years ago when we would go off backpacking and at the end of the night I would have on my khaki clothes, big brown stetson hat and a flask of good booze-they started calling me Doc Savage who they thought was a gentleman explorer.

When some friends saw my favourite comedian ( Bill Hicks ) do his "Goatboy" scetch for the first time they just looked at me and called me Goatboy. I reckon they thought we were alike 
Though I'm much better behaved these days... honest. Plus Goatboy's a bit of a Pan / nature spirit. On Youtube I'm Getpojke which is just Dutch for Goatboy.
Adults may wan't to have a look at the late Mr. Hicks here: - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpEy-LYo3vg

Beorn is a character from Tolkiens "There and back again" or "The Hobbit" (I don't know which is more common in English speaking countries). He's can change into a bear for going to war and hunting Orks. Anyway, he likes honey and all sorts of sweets, likee to laugh, is a bit crumpy, ...
Somebody called me Beorn once and she decided it might fit.

calibanzwei said:Haha, well Caliban has cropped up a few times in my life - in chronological order, initially Shakespeare at school, a character I associated with; its the home of the Dark Angels in W40k; it cropped up in '97 I think as a newly diescovered moon of Uranus and they are also a most excellant death/metal core band from Germany. The Zwei was added when every other forum I went already had 'Caliban' chosen. I thought it unlikely that anyone else would add zwei to the end. Has stuck for 15 years
Mine comes from a book about a guy called Mack Bolan, his call sign is stonymanone, I took the stonyman part.
have a guess
when I started frequenting web forums I was in the middle of academic research and it wouldn't look good if I asked for help from scholars with a stupid or ammusing username (as much as I would like to!). Then I started my business and it makes finding me on the web easier if my name is plastered all over the forums
