It would be interesting to see how many of those new schools are full time
and depending on feeding their kids and paying a mortgage with the money
they earn.
I wouldn't mind betting that some of them already have a full time job and
a wage that enables them to radically undercut the real professionals by one
subsidising the other. It begs the question, Why? Is it something to do with
ego or malice?
Hmm funny old post for your 1st one
I take my hat off to anyone who can make a living out of a full time bushcraft school and nothing else,and if they have a job going can you get them to post it on here as there will be many people interested
RM is the most prominant guy in the UK bushcraft world has part time instructors and still runs a shop,and produces TV shows, good buisness eh, or does he just bear malace against everyone else who runs a bushcraft buisness
I think not.
What you are suggesting is that anyone with a buisness who also works for "the man" is egotistical and bears some kind of malace to everyone who runs a souly bushcraft buisness, i really cant get my head around that one buddy, explain
,I would look at it that they do it because they are passionate about it and loved the subject.
if you think you can make a living in Bushcraft and want to sit around indoors waiting for people to come to you so you can play in the woods and be the Great Bushcraft instructor every now and again you will have a very rude awakening as i have said above 90% of schools have a shop to stay afloat, and has been already stated RM has to have part time and not full time instructors, says it all really doesnt it. And REAL PROFESSIONALS?who are they then? even RM wouldnt class his self as that i wouldnt of thought, bushcraft is a life long learning curve and any one who tells you that they are a professional! will be the one with the ego that needs boosting i can assure you.I can hear the bag of worms opening lol
Anyway welcome to the forum and may your posts and imput be forth coming and plentifull
