Howdy Folks
I'm a little late posting in here seeing as i've already got two threads and a few posts up, sorry about that guys, but better late than never lol!
So here go's Hi everyone my names mark and i'm from the valleys of south east wales, been into all things outdoors since i can remember, fishing (coarse sea and game) shooting, ferreting, camping, canoeing, hiking, bleeding hell i'm begining sound like boy scout and before you ask yes i was lol! My main interests now though are bushcraft, hiking/camping and photography as the missus decided that i had far to many hobbies for a married man, and that it would be in my best interest to focus on just a few, i think she'd been chatting to her friends again lol!
I love to tinker about with things either making and/or fixing them and diy, i hate seeing anthing go to waste, if it cant be fixed i'll try and recycle the useful bits, i'm a great believer of the waste not want not philosophy, its something the ole'man instilled in me from a very young age, even when i was little if i had a toy and it broke, out would come the screwdriver, and i could usually do something with it and if not at least i knew how it worked, always been fasinated by how things work, of course thats back in the days when you could take things apart, these days you need a dirty great big hammer to open anything up lol!
Thats not to say i'm not partial to a nice shiny piece of new kit now and again, but only if i need it lol! anyways i'm loving the site, its great to see so many helpful likeminded people in one place who are willing to offer help and advice if you want/need any, or just to chat about things in general, plus there's plenty of interesting threads to read through, i for one hope to add a few more threads and posts over the coming months and hopefully it'll be of interest to someone. So theres just one more thing to say to everyone and thats keep up the good work guys, this site is a virtual treasure trove of useful information.
