Whats happening.

My apologies that this has seemed to go a bit stale, but i am working on expanding my blog into a small website, with the blog still being the main aspect i just want to add a little bit more. I have two projects on at the moment and progress is slow. My knife is taking alot longer than i originaly thought and i want to put up the whole process as appose to having it put on in pieces. I have also a Walking staff in the making however it is going to be a while as i'm waiting for the wood to season. Thankfully though the weather is getting better so i hope me and the mutt will be getting out alot more.

Thanks for all the views guys and keep checking for more posts and updates.

Book recommendation : Guy Grieve - Call of The Wild

A quick post to recommend a book i have just finished. Guy Grieve - Call of The Wild, is about a frustrated office employee who decides to "jack" it all in to live through a winter in alaska, build a cabin and learn to mush. Its truely a wonderful read and i would recommend it to anyone interested in bushcraft as there is an abundance of it in here. Read Guy's journey from being a complete tenderfoot and butt of alot of jokes to the locals to someone with the abillity to live in the wild. An interested, gripping and emotional read and easily one of my favourite books.



Guy and his wife also run the Ethical Shellfish Company more information available here http://www.ethicalshellfishcompany.co.uk/
