At the risk of upsetting people , It has come to my attention that there are a few members from BCUK are ruining chances for the rest of us ! I have heard of quite a few situations where people have lost , or not been alowed to use land for bushcraft purposes , purely on the basis of a minority who seem to think that illegaly camping on land is the way forward !!! Or because somebody has managed to get permissions to use a peice of land , that they too have an open invite (if this was land for shooting purposes , you would be guilty of armed trespass) .
I personaly gain a lot from BCUK and have met some amazing freindly people .
However , the fact that we are having opertunities taken on the basis of a few morons , makes me sick ! Tony and the moderaters do a lot of work to keep this a respectable place , and most of the members on here fit right in with the ethics that encourage RESPONSIBLE bushcrafting .
Mentioning BCUK when trying to get permission for wild camping , is starting to be the wrong thing to say ! This saddens me , and i am sure this is not the image that Tony is working hard to get for BCUK .
I think that it is about time that we as responsible members of BCUK do something ! Only i am not sure on the best method of sorting out this problem . So i put it to you peeps , what are we going to do about it ? I fear public hangings could be a no go ! Is a simple name and shame enough ?
Any ideas or suggestions ?
Appologies for starting a thread full of bad feeling , but i think this needs saying and sorting .
Pumbaa
