Welcome aboard Simon - the beauty of bushcraft is you don't need a lot to get started...a tarp, wool blanket, cooking pot and cutting tools would get you by quite nicely with the right knowledge...all the other kit just serves to make things comfier, quicker or more certain

Looking at your list you're well equipped to hit the outdoors

Hi Simon you have enough kit, why don't you go the inside M25 meet (breakfast club) in January and you can learn different things there from starting a fire from scratch to the setting of a wire (rabbit snare).

Hello Simon and welcome.

In addition to the Breakfast Club meet, we'll be arranging a trip to Yalding (near Maidstone) in April at some time - probably when the land owner deems it warm enough for him to camp out! There's certainly plenty of bunnies there.

I'm a bit jealous! Haven't bagged any bunnies for a while and there's only a little bit of rabbit left in the freezer!
