so very very much, i said i came to learn knowledge and skills and indeed i did, thanks to all i met..
i learned, in no particular order: many knots, to work with bark, use bramble for bindings, carve with an axe, principles of knife sharpening, make fishing net, gather seaweed, make camp furniture, amazing camp kitchen variations, principles of wood gas burning stoves, how to find fatwood (yippee), sleep in a hammock, use wood ash as a dye mordant, which woods work best for what, that aspects of leatherwork and basketry are diffiuclt! and thats all that comes to mind, there's stacks more....
oh, and never to take other people's generosity and hospitality for granted. it was good to put faces to names and i take away experiences that i will draw on for a long while. thanks everyone
