Wow.. we are definitely spread around! I say 'we' as so far, I can't disagree with anything I have read. I plan to read the Holy Books this week though, and see where that takes us.

I know the dear brother has left this mortal coil.. but are there any other people that have an interest this way inclined?
I have always wanted to get into it, but never actually met anyone that can teach me the basics.. and I mean more than putting in a few plugs and shouting 'breaker breaker'
This method of communication could become of vital importance one day.. and the idea of being able to chat to one of you across the other side of the world is kinda exciting

This makes me happy to see.
I have always been a bit of a puritan when it comes to this kind of thing.. and teach my own son the very basic foundation blocks of survival. Where our food comes from, how to prepare and dress an animal for food.
Now I live in the city, so a few chickens is all we can have.. but thankfully we are still quite a rural country, in that I have mates that are farmers, and within a 30 minute drive. So he gets to see the animals being born etc

The use of these natural materials, wool, skins etc is knowlege that would have been common place 3 generations ago, and now is an indangered species itself!
Bookbinding is something I have always looked into, but never actually got around to. I've looked at the book of Kells, and seen the work those monks did so many centuries ago.. it is fantastic.

Anyway.. (I have a habit of going off in many tangents ) I plan to record as many natural things as possible before it is lost to us. A wee 'survival' book if you will.. but more than that, it is also a preserver of culture.

This is the plan.. cheers for the welcome! I hope you don't plan on coming home any time soon.. the economy has went pear shaped again

I thought I might as well introduce myself, as no doubt you will see my name at the bottom, reading away.

I'm from Belfast, Northern Ireland, and am completely new to all of this. If there was someone in Belfast, that would be outstanding, but I suspect there probably isn't.

I look forward to chatting with you all, and learning more.
