Hello all,
I have recently come across the site and have found it very interesting and decided to find out more and signed up.
Like every body else I enjoy being outside and wanted to be able to get more from it, by knowing more. I grew up in the country side and loved playing outside in the field and woods around my house. I spent many years in the scouts and eventualy became a leader and enjoyed all that I did. Once at Uni it did some climbing, skiing and wild camping as often as my budget could cope. I now have a couple of horses and my wife and I love to get out and she in particular is involved with endurance riding.
I feel that people don't look favourably on bushcraft and it is treaded some what similarly to game shooting. I am not overly outgoing and I am wary about getting started and experimenting.
How have other people taken their first steps and how do you find peoples attitudes?
Later days,
Gordo
