Any Kent Bushcrafters Out There?

[Shark Tinderbox]

Hello, is there anybody out there?

I live in Kent, Snodland actually – home of the Smurfs! - and was wandering where all the Kent Bushcrafters where?

I don’t bite, I am clean, I like dirty jokes, toilet humour, beer and girls!

Actually, thinking about it, perhaps that’s why I’m so all alone‼‼

[bushwacker bob]

Thats probably hit the nail on the head. Other than your good self, its one of those places where bushcraft never actually caught on.
Its right at the righthand end of the country so by the time folk had got through East Sussex it petered out.

[realearner]

Yes there are

Why not come to one of the Sussex meets Mark?, we hold our meets over at Forest Row/Wych Cross, so not that far away from you

Hmmm.....

Doesn't Bardster post here any more? I'd guess there are plenty of Kent bushcrafters on here and Kent is also the home of the Bushcraft Magazine.

These are pretty good bushcraft credentials for a county I'd have thought.

Being a bit gung ho about things when I joined up I noticed there was no group for Kent so I just went ahead and created one. No-one joined (yet). As no-one did I also joined the Sussex group Kepis mentions though I haven't made it to one of the meets yet.

There are a fair few people in Kent though they seem to be hooking up via threads rather than groups.

You guys have a Magazine?
We use them as tinder in the more Western areas.

No problem, if your geography is OK, What part of KENT is Richmond Surrey?

[Bardster]

Yeah there are a few of us Mad Mike often organises a get together in various places. The farm is pretty much always available if people want to use it. Most of the kent crew seem to be loners though
We are going to build a camp kitchen and some kind of roundhouse at the site this year, probably with straw bales. if anyone wants to help?

No part last time I looked but then I've never claimed to live in Kent. I have camped in Bardster's fields a few times so my geography extends to finding my way there (barely)

Yes!

I'd love to help - when?

[bushwacker bob]

Yes!

This year.(after the harvest unless he has a supply of last years straw)

Organise is a word rarely used in connection with me I have collected some hazel for the roundhouse I think more will be needed

Never alone with the cat around



The delicious aroma of chicken on an open fire attracts company, as does putting the kettle on

Nice to hear from you guys, I thought that I was a soloist; I’ve met hundreds of wan bees, but no doers!

I even thought about breaking a lifetime rule and doing a Brokeback Mountain, but my wife didn’t think I would like it! She is so wise, and thinks I should just stick to beer, and toilet humor – she won’t let me play with girls either, which is why I’m a soloist (married you see!). Oh! Just in case you have a potty mind like me, I'm not into to**ing off dead horses either, but I'll eat one!

Is anyone going the Steve’s (The Bushcraft Magazine) May Fest, cos I’ll be there?

[Corso]

some of us are just unsocial buggers

nice to see you on here Mark - bought some shark stuff in the past you do nice work

That does sound interesting.

[Shark Tinderbox]

It all sounds interesting, please keep me in mind when the bird starts to fly.

I live in Rochester now but i used to live in cuxton 5 min from where you live.
I will be at the may day meet again.I got a couple of knives for you to sharped again.
Such a good weekend that the Bushcraft magazine put on.
Even when it hammered it down one year we still had a great time.

We'll be there the whole weekend, so plenty of time to get your knife sharpened. We're putting up the side tarp so that I have shelter when I demonstrate the sharpening … we can all keep dry!

Hope to see you there?

I'm from sunny Walderslade. Well it was sunny today anyway. Often get out in the woods around here and different places dotted around the county. Can also been seen canoeing down the Medway with my eldest (10).

If it gets me out the house, in the fresh air then I tend be happy!

I'm from Rainham, there are quite a lot of kent bushcrafters out there. Only just found out there was a kent group on here (wondered why there wasnt one when I joined in the first place) and will certainly join up. Dont know about kent bushcrafters being loners, Id love to meet like minded people but dont seem to get out as much as Id like to and most of the time get out with short notice so no time to arrange a meet. Will try to make the may gathering though.

Did you go to the Wilderness Gathering last year? Did anyone go to the Wilderness Gathering or the Bushcraft Magazine's May Fest last Year?

[Bardster]

I was doing some work down the site today, it lovely down there, the bluebell leaves have just sprouted so the woods are carpeted in green. I shall probably do the same again next sunday if any one fancys a get together?

[ocean1975]

I was at the wilderness gathering last year.
Had a good time,camped in the woods,drunk a lot,laughed a lot spent far to much money.
But hey that's what it's about.
The highlight of my year tho is always the may meet down egerton with the bushcraft magazine.

Barster I just re-read this today and noticed I read it totally wrong the first time. Wheels are not in great order at the mo but once those are sorted we'll be up for get togethers or help with the roundhouse.
