I was a bit puzzled, having just come back to this site after many months and having to request new passwords and not even knowing my user name! It turns out that I must have registered, then not come back on to post ANYTHING!
Don't know why but anyway here goes;
Some of you may know me as "Rancid Badger" a nick name picked up during my early military service-(long story)-and a faff to type if I'm honest. So I decided on something that means something to me and is much quicker to type.
I've been "into" what is now known as "bushcraft" for about 50 years or since I was about 4 years old. We lived on a council estate in North East England which was adjacent to open farmland, hedges, ponds, woodlands, building sites, colliery waste land-basically just think of a slightly cleaner, slightlybetter off version of "Billy Casper" and his environs and you've just about got my childhood.
I make stuff from metal, leather, wood, actually more or less anything.
I have a particular fondness for open fires! and the science and technology that go with them
That's it for now
watch out for a few posts giving an idea of what I do coming up soon.
Cheers
Steve
