Hi fellow Bushmen.

I have only recently joined BCUk and become interested in Bushcraft after attending a weekend course with Dryad Bushcraft on the Gower peninsular. Now I think I'm hooked :o): . I have always been into the Outdoors thing, mostly Mountain Biking and some Rock climbing, but I always thought Survival was something Military minded people were into, so I never really gave it much thought.

That was until some colleages at work invited me to Swansea for the weekend. I'd always wanted to try the Mumbles mile (A whole mile of Pubs!!) so I agreed to go. They only told me we were going on a Survival Course the day before and by then it was too late to back out.

The course was the best thing I had done in years, and I can't wait to go again. I even managed to light a Fire by the Bow Drill method (Eventually), which I am assured is pretty good going for a first timer. Couldn't face gutting and skinning a Rabbit though :yikes: , I left that to the experts.

Now my Girlfriend wants to come as well.
