Brooklyn-Based, Moving to UK

[passionflower]

Hello! I currently live in Brooklyn but am moving to the UK this upcoming autumn. I’m brand new to bushcraft, so I’ve been really enjoying the beginning of my journey, joining forums and learning the very basics. I love the outdoors, and I’m excited to continue meeting people in the community!

Hello and welcome to the forum. Found your thread on thebushcraftforum.com. Lots of good advice. I suspect though that you will find quite a few differences between bushcraft in the US and the UK, not least that you have a lot more broad leaf forest over there. I grew up in Westchester. Best advice is not to try to find similar, or compare, but to enjoy the differences.

Where abouts in the UK are you expecting to live? How did you find your way to an interest in "bushcraft"?

Thank you, Chris! I’ve definitely gotten amazing advice and am learning so much already. It’s looking like I’ll be living in Scotland, going between a university there and one in Northern Ireland as well for grad school. And l actually only learned the term “bushcraft” for the first time a few weeks ago, then I was instantly pulled in. I love nature and getting outside, but I am also very interested in foraging, building shelters, immersing myself in my surroundings, and becoming more resilient.

Depending on where you're moving to I imagine that will be quite a change. Hope you enjoy the site and the UK.

Incidentally, whenever I see Brooklyn I immediately think of Brooklyn Machine Works; I coveted the TMX for many years. Have an urge to watch NWD now.

Thank you, MT! And I've actually not seen NWD, so I need to get on that!

Welcome!

My wife moved over from the States a few years back, certainly some differences but overall she likes it here. Hope you enjoy it too!

Ah cool! Whereabouts did she move from? I’m really looking forward to my move myself!

She's from Colorado, though spent some time up in Michigan too... moved to Yorkshire and now Lincolnshire. She's going to have one hell of an accent.

Oh my gosh, she's lived in so many places! Out of those, I've only been to Colorado, and I recall it being stunning!
