G'day all. It's great to find an Australian bushcraft site! I've been reading for a few days now but just became an activated member so I thought I should introduce myself...
I'm an American expat now happily calling Australia home. I live in beautiful Tasmania, in a cabin half way up a mountain right on the edge of World Heritage Area forested wilderness. I've been passionate about bushcraft since I was a child and am very interested in self-sufficiency, sustainable living, and the hand-crafted lifestyle. I'm also interested in primitive lifeways, experimental archaeology, and historical arts & handicrafts. For me, living in harmony with my environment and being in touch with Nature's power and rhythms is something sublimely spiritual.
I'm also a bit of an old grumpy anti-consumerist anti-materialist curmudgeon.
I'm looking forward to getting to know folks here and sharing in an bushcraft community that seems significantly less filled with the paranoid survivalism, religious proselytising, and handgun fetishism that seems to characterize some other bushcraft sites. So far this looks like a great place and I'm proud to be a part of it. Thanks for having me!
