Brigit Get's a Kelly Kettle

[Ashley Cawley]

Brigit gets a Kelly Kettle as a Birthday present, a fun, comical review that is sort of reading the instructions as she tries it for the first time! :o

Brigit, that is absolute quality :happy-clapping: More videos please.

Regards,

Matt.

Cool!!
Good vid. I've no experience of a Kelly kettle, so It's nice to share Brigit's first. "Dropping off the grid" one day a week sounds like a damned fine idea too. It would be nice to try that (although not sure the rest of the family would think so).

... "Dropping off the grid" one day a week sounds like a damned fine idea too..
Something I'd like to work toward also :)

[brigit]

Thank you for posting my video Ashley!!! And thank you for the comments bigzee and Matt. :)

Going off-grid for just one day a week is changing my life more than I could ever have anticipated. I've written a bit about it here if anyone's interested -

To see such joy at accomplishing something we all take for granted, it reminds me why I love this hobby.
Thanks Brigit I really enjoyed the vid.

Excellent. Brigit, you have done better than most experienced bushcrafters. Why can't I do things as easily? :)

[Ben Casey]

I think it is the way you done it as men seem to be so serious :)

[comanighttrain]

Brigit you so crazy!

Great video :)

Brigit you so crazy!

Great video :)

I think we should start a fan club up :D

Wonderfully unpretentious... I am smitten...:o

This is how it should be... love it Bridget, well done.

I'm ever more impressed with the Kelly Kettle each time I see one, shame they are a bit on the pricey side...

Had never considered going 'off-grid' in that way, am going to see what I can do myself

T^ its what makes britain so great,brill review are you going to do anymore bridget :happy-clapping:

[brigit]

You lot are just lovely and i thank you SO much for all your encouragement!

I nearly didn't put the video up on youtube because it was so unpolished (and very long!) compared with other videos, but I'm glad I did now :) My plan is to make more videos over the next few years about the things I'm discovering that really matter to me - mostly nature related - so it was important that i didn't blow it with my first one. I think youtube is a great way of getting messages out to the wider world. I've certainly learned a lot from the ones I've seen on the Natural Bushcraft site.

My next one is going to be all about silver birch...including, of course, the fact that you can use the bark peelings to get a fire started!!!

I'm in!

This is why I have become so engaged not just with bushcraft, but with this site and the meets I have attended so far. The folks on here are unpretentious, light hearted and do not take themselves too seriously. I think that everyone on here should look at what Ashley has managed to acheive with an initial vision and that the image portrayed by everyone else that uses the site keeps attracting new members for a good reason.

Well said that man...

On a serious note....I've read negative comments on other forums and genuinely appreciate the fact that you have been so encouraging rather than disparaging. It's risky putting yourself out there on something like youtube!

I haven't contributed much to this forum but I do read a lot of the posts and find them really friendly and accessible. Everyone has to start somewhere - and with forums like this to help you on your way you're much more likely to succeed than give up. Big thanks to Ashley and everyone else for sharing your knowledge so freely and for not being patronising to us beginners :)

People would have to be barking to leave you negative feedback, or to patronise. Firstly, your efforts are better than some of the guys n gals that have been at this game for a while, and secondly, bushcraft (and any interests forum for that matter) is about supporting each other, seeing the planet we live and the people on it, as a gift, living in harmony with the world and it's inhabitants, and having a jolly good time while we do it. Society needs more people like you and the other folk on here. Keep up the top work, coz you got a huge thumbs up T^T^:)

Im with Adam there :D

We could get a mutual admiration club going here, as long as people don't start getting the wrong idea!

What a great video - - so joyful!
Enjoyed the blog too! I really like and admire you for going off the grid - its food for thought.

Best wishes
