    Tree / Bush ID help, please?

    Im thinking it may be a hubei crab but what i would say is that it is most likely as everyone has guessed some form of fruit tree, so the best method of id would be to wait till the fruit appears and id the fruit.... Good luck.

    BCUK on Apple (MacBook)

    Woodlands for sale

    I do understand this would be a problem but surely something legal could be written where no one person actually owned it and it remained as property of all bushcraftuk members. To afford it we could do a fundraiser it wouldnt be hard to raise 25000 between so many of us.

I did start Bushcraft and join this site to get out and about more and I do love the fact that there are offers to get out to meets and make new friends already, however I think it may just be a little to quick.

    What to buy

    Hi I am quite new to the site and to Bushcraft. Well when I say new I mean new to practicing It, as I had previously been a fervent watcher of all things Bushcraft but had never seemed to get round to practising the art. My question is what to buy on limited funds. So I would love to know...
