I thought I was the only person who lit a fire and made a brew in the garden. When making different stoves, burners and suchlike, I am straight outside, grab the purple metal table and burn away. I know when the enthusiasm should be curtailed. Its when the kids get bored after five minutes and tell their mum that dad is 'messing about with his camping rubbish again', and say that 'he's being like a kid again'.
Sort of thing im doing at the moment. Weather to bad to drag the kids off to the woods. So doing a few bits in the garden ready for next year. Planning on the kids first camp out. In the garden of course.
I often use the garden to show the little uns how to use a flint etc. It encourages them to want to get out and try it "for real"

Best place to start 'Tried & Tested' before you venture out
into T.G.O & find it doesn't work

Regularly, gives me a few minutes break from the kids trying to kill each other, or if its bed time for the kids, a few minutes break from them talking in their sleep.
I love getting out into the garden with a new piece of kit. It pisses the neighbours off, especially if the stove is smoky and they have the washing out. I'll be trying my new tarp out in the garden next weekend.
Don't worry buddy. We all do it.
Personally I've made my own body weight in char cloth in the back yard BBQ. Lol
There's actually a guy on YouTube who has had a bushcraft channel for over a year showing his "expertise and prowess" as a bushcrafter - all of which has been done in his house or back garden!
Apart that is from a single 3 night stint in the woods in the past 18 months.

I do a lot of fishing and in my case that means overnight in a bivvy, I'm not one of the much maligned instant Carp anglers, but an all rounder that loves to be out on the bank-side. If I can't get on the lake or river I sometimes put the tent or bivvy up in the garden, much to the bemusement of our lass, but to the delight of whichever grandkid is stopping over and have a night on the lawn.
