It is indeed a great program from what I hear, thanks for sharing the info
.
The only problem I see with it, and this is certainly not your fault, is that Bushcraft USA has become too much like the 'Wild West' - many of the mods there abuse their power and act like ignorant fools (though I seriously doubt IAWoodsman or SkogKniv are among them). I've seen quite a few people there who have done nothing wrong end up banned, and threads have been closed because the mods were tired of them...or they just don't like the topic. Many of the members are wonderful folks, no doubt, but a lot of them are leaving or considering leaving because of the corruption (some of these ex-members have formed their own blogs or joined other forums).
Bushclass seems to me like an attempt to encourage more people to join the site (after all, you have to post on the forum for the course/s) because members are leaving.
I don't want to restrict people from taking the course/s and therefore joining BCUSA, but do so at your own risk.
