Hi everybody.

Hi people. I am 35 years old from lithuania,currently living in Lurgan, Northern Ireland, proud dad of 3 kids. My interests include reading,sport and recently survival skills,slingshots and outdoor activities. I have a background in self-defence combat in which i was involved since i was 14 to 25 years old and some weightlifting also. Looking to start doing some sport again and join th outdoor survival team to learn and for fun.
Liked your friendly forum and decided to join. Tnx.

Tnx guys ;) it just has warmed up here a bit so i'll have an opportunity to practice my slingshot shooting skills in the park while on holiday. Want to buy a decent knife but unsure which one i'd like more,appeared i just want them all out there lol. Was considering buying some good book about survival for a good start also.What do you think,where should i start?

Hi there Pleeblander.
If you want a couple of good books to start off with, you should consider "Bushcraft" by Mors Kochanski and "Essential Bushcraft" by Ray Mears. There are loads of books out there of differing quality, but there's nothing to beat getting out there and having a go.

I would highly recommend "Ray Mears Outdoor Survival Handbook" as a good starting place as well, I feel it was my inspiration when I was younger. I've posted briefly about it before in this article: http://www.naturalbushcraft.co.uk/resources/bushcraft-books.html
