Hello BCUK

Where do you run your courses? After seeing you at the NEC I'd really like to book on a course with you. Do you have any details, I couldn't find them on the web.

Cheers

Hi Mate

We don't run any courses, we are here purely as a resource for people that want to know more about bushcraft and wilderness skills and for those with a common interest to get together. There are schools listed http://www.bushcraftuk.co.uk/200/company_info1.html and any of them will be able to help you with courses.

I hope this helps.

Have a good one

Tony

Thanks for that Tony, a great help.
Sorry for the assumption about courses. But if not, why not!?

"Sharp intake of breath!!" I don't think the "schools" would like us taking away potential paying customers ROTFL......

I would love to see a collective effort on coming up with a syllabus.

There are so many people here with so many preferences aout stuff. I reckon it would take a week round the fire with a few kegs of beer to sort that one out. :lol:

I think that my previous post answers this one.

When the concept for the site first come to me it was because I had lost contact with a friend of mine that i had met on one of the Woodlore courses, I had lost contact with him and there was nothing to help facilitate me finding him. So, bcuk was born as a place for people to stay in contact and share their love of the outdoors. There has never been the intention of running courses as that is what the schools are for and we always advise people that is where they should go. We are not experts and we do not profess to be, the whole thing about bcuk is that people get as much as they can from it and that they are enabled to get as much from the wilderness experiences as they can, for some things this will be advice on where to go camping and on other things it will be the advice that they should seek out a good standing reputable school so that they can get first hand learning, which is always the best way.

So, running courses has never been the intention behind bcuk, we have no affiliation to any schools in any form. We are here for the members, for those people that love the outdoors and for those people that want to know more about such things.
