Thread: Hey

  1. #1

    Hey

    Hey all,

    I'm Matt, 26 from south Devon. I'm looking at getting into bushcraft as a hobby so thought I'd join up here and start learning.

    I was wondering what people thought was the best way to begin to learn about bushcraft - is it to go on a course? If so, what would you recommend?

    Thanks.
