April 13, 2008 · Print This Article

Hope your well today…

I have been getting a little feed back from listening to people talking about bushcraft, and I get the impression they want to be able to gather with like minded people interested in Bushcraft skills..

So I have decided to write a report about how I have been able to do just that since I became facinated with these skills…

I developed a local group who got together regularly though out the summer to practice skills and just chill out. I was able to find a land owner who was more than happy for us to use his land, and encouraged it. If your thinking about starting a group or already have then finding a place to gather in an amazing resource to have…

If you have a group or would like to join a group please let me know, by submitting a comment at the end of this post or going to the ,Ask A Question, page. I read all comments left and any question or comment submitted on the ‘Ask A Question’ Page…

I was thinking of adding a Forum to the website so you can add groups already running, add that you’d like to start a group someplace, or just come looking for a group to join…

What would you like to know, what would you want included in a report about starting a group…

Starting or Joining a group is I think the quickest way to mastery of Bushcraft…

If you have no training a group can learn from books quicker than someone alone. Everyone bring s a useful perspective tot he gatherings and discussions and ideas about how to improve skills. Members are able to give you insights and ways to improve your techniques. And everyone brings new ideas, pieces of knowledge gained from books, courses or direct experience being out in the wilds…

When I wanted to teach for the first time it was easy to find a few people who wanted to come along…

I never even intended sarting a group but it happened very easily, and it would be simple to copy what I did…

There are so many people out there interested in these skills. Lots of people who do not and will never understand, think it wierd or unusual. But there will always be those. They make sure the woods are never too crowded…

There is never a crowd on the leading edge, I think the learning of Bushcraft and Nature awareness skills is the leading edge and more people having this knowledge may be the best way to bring our environment back into balance…

Please ask your questions. let me know what you want to know about teching these skills or setting up groups locally…

    Thanks for the comment Wendy…

    I hope there are many, I just don’t know about them all yet…

    I’ve set up a forum, got to the top of any page on this site, and click on Find A Local Group…

    Put a request in the toic thats is about your area, and I’m sure you can all come together to learn the skills that are important to you…
