hello everyone, i'm new in here. i've been reading the gear reviews on the main site for a while and they're all pretty good, mainly re-stating stuff that i already new but a few really good ideas/tips. <br><br>i've been interested in survival and bushcraft for about ten years now and although i'm mainly an armchair enthusiast i have practised some skills and assembled various kits. <br><br>i'm just wondering if there are any brits in here at all, not that i've got anthing against americans/canadians of course, well not much anyway ;-) it'd just be nice to chat to someone who's a little bit more local to me.<br><br>thanks for the good site/forums.<br>keep up the good work fellas.<br><br>stay safe.

Welcome! We have a strong contingent of brits here. Just look for posts with funny spelling and phrases" He thought I was cheeky when my survival fruitcake made him turn a loverly colour of international orange."

I've been hillwalking for years and am just getting into the bushcraft stuff. Just took delivery of some Gransfors Buks axes this morning, sharp enough to shave with! Will give them a good try at the weekend.<br><br>Cheers<br><br>Justin

thanks for the tip for spotting brits on here chris, one critisism though, surely if i was using spelling as a guide then it's the brits who spell things corretly and the americans/canadians with the unusual spellings? no? ;-)
