In December I was tagged by OZme to name my three favourite Bushcraft and/ or Camping items. December was a bit busy, though I really like the idea of this so here is my slightly belated post on my three favourite Bushcraft items.

I wish you all a Happy 2013 - may your packs be light, your journeys full of adventure and your camps under a beautiful starry sky!

It was an interesting year, 2012. The older you get, the faster the time goes by; I passed the thirty year barrier, my wife & me bought a house and I spent a good chunk of my time renovating it (project still ongoing). Our son grows and grows, and it’s a pleasure to watch him grow - I predict many outdoor adventures with him in the future. Outdoor times were great, too, with many new friends made and new trails hiked. A look ahead and back.
