I just wanted to mention this forum that I stumbled upon recently called Bushcraft USA. Some of you guys may know of it already, but I think there are a lot of like-minded folks over there that may interest a lot of you guys that frequent the PA forum. I'm only mentioning it because I don't think they would have any conflict of interest with the PA forum or steal any business from here. Moderators, feel free to remove this thread if you think otherwise.
I haven't had much time to explore it yet, but there is a "Self-Made Gear" section with over 7000 different threads in it. There's really all kinds of stuff in there (knife making, leatherwork, firemaking tools, etc.), so I would recommend checking it out if you've got some time to kill.

I'm on there, JW, and spyder1958 also as far as I know. It's a good site, I just don't have time for all of them.

I stole their idea for marking a milestone posting by giving away a piece of gear. My buddy Kyle, that lurks in here from time to time posts over there a lot. n We are going to be doing a Bushcraft event here this summer I expect. Might even open it up to PA folks too. Though for the sake of my friendship with Iowabow, we may need to limit it to being a copper free event. *grin*

I post there more than I post here. Phenomenal group of people with a combined 1000 years or more experience.
I was bushcrafting back when it was called "being involved in scouts" but it took me until a couple months ago to discover there's such a massive and diverse community.
There's certainly some overlap between my 'shcrafting and hunting, but I try to keep them segregated to avoid confusing myself.
-
That's why I'm not on there much, kinda like rehashing growing up.

Whenever I hear "bushcraft" I have to say it in my head in a British accent.

Ever feel like scaring the pants off yourself? Go to a bushcraft event and announce loudly, "Anyone got a knife?" The blade-storm will show up on radar from a hundred miles off!
They are all knife porn addicts.

I'm there too. Same name as here actually. I don't post often but I do lurk every now and then.
Yeah, Pat, gotta love Ray Mears.

Oooh, you bastard! ;D

That made me laugh, Patrick. I think you've ruined it for me. I poke around on there myself, here and there.

I'm not a member but I visit occaionally. I was a survival junkie (own all three seasons of Survivorman) before I started bow making and I think Primitive Archery and bushcraft go hand in hand in the wilderness preparedness spectrum. :)

do you need to live in the USA to join? SS

I don't think so but there is a BushCraftUK forum somewhere. A bit more localized for you as well as folks closer to you/. http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/forum.php
