It's been a while but I took a course at the Woodcraft School ltd. in West Susses in the summer of 2008 for about a week or so. It was great but I met a guy there named Ashley that went by Ash. He was a big guy and looked just like you.

After that class I went on to Gransfors Bruks Sweeden and took a knife/axe making course two weeks before Andrew Price with A-Z of Bushcraft showed up there to make his film on knife making.

I'm trying to spread the concept of Bushcraft to people in America. Thanks for all your work.

I don't believe so John. I once visited a weekend course in Oxfordshire back in March 2009 I think it was, I was a guest there doing some filming of the course not a student etc. Other than that I've never been on a course.

Where abouts was the course you mentioned? All the best,

Hi Ash,
I was wondering If I know you or not. Did you ever take a Bushcraft course in the summer of 2008 with an American bloke? One who bought all kinds of kit. lol

Very nice vid. A skill I've never tried but it looks like you could really settle back and feel satisfied with your skills if you can do this.
