A bit about the Blog

For a while now I have had an interest in bushcraft and survival. I've learned many skills and there are many more to learn. So I've created this blog to share what I do know and share what I learn as I go along in the hope that I can help or inspire you to go out there and enjoy these skills for yourself. It will be about survival skills in general but the bulk of it is likely to be bushcraft as this is my main passion.

I can't upload my own pictures (or at least decent ones) at the moment so in the beginning I'll just be posting helpful links and maybe a few product reviews.

I hope you find what I have here useful and I look forward to watching this blog grow. Feel free to ask any questions or give any advice or opinions you have. Like I said, I'm learning and what works for one might not work for all.

My motto: Trust the earth. She's been here longer.

NOTE: I do not accept responsibility for any of my readers' actions. I would advise that you use common sense above all else and always do your best to abide by the laws of wherever you happen to be.

My New Playground

Okay, so, anyone that knows me knows my obsession with woodlands. Since I moved to where I am now (over a year ago) I've been searching for one in the area to play around in. Okay it's a little hard to get to but beggars can't be choosers.

On talking to my good friend Paddy Mad Mac (who I hope to be able to persaude to do a guest post at some point) we've agreed that it constitutes somewhere between a 4* and a 5* woods. Basically, to us, this means that it has everything we need to survive there, barring one or two things and with a little bit more work than in a 5*. So I'm pretty pleased. I'll try and get a video of us both demonstrating some stuff there if I can get him to come up and visit.

Till then, enjoy my first video (ever).
