As we're sure you know, this is Woodlore's first foray into the world of blogging. Being so new to this, with only a few months under our belt, we're keen to know what you all think.
We're always keeping a close eye on the comments you post on our blog, but from now on we'll be picking a 'Comment of the Week' and rewarding that person with a £10.00 Woodlore Voucher, which can then be used against any of our camping equipment or Bushcraft courses.
We appreciate every reader we have, but it would be fantastic to have some feedback from you to find out what you think of our posts.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Before the age of exploration around the 1600-1700′s, there was an Indian group named the “Cherokee” and I happen to have quite a bit of it in my blood. They lived in open, uncharted land and that gave me the urge throughout my entire life, even when I was a lad, to study and practice bushcraft.
At the age of 11 now, I have been tortured at not being able to visit wild places where I cant see a village even if it was flat land. But you, Ray and your team, brought light to my past and my future. Every day I just wish I could run away to live with my ancestors, but I’m afraid we haven’t invented time travel, yet. I’m American, and in this country it is a god-send to find ANYONE who has any interest in camping. Even thought I’m American, I would thank you as my second god if you, or anyone from woodlore gave me tips at what I cold do.
To me, you guy’s have made my life worth living again. Thank you. :)
Hello again.
I have finally come up with a question for the pros at Woodlore to go along with my earlier suggestion.
I’ve managed this year to make fire by friction using the bow drill method but I find it difficult to get the tension just right. I often have to re-tie the string. I’ve clamped down on the string with my hand and that usually takes care of any slack, but I was wondering if there is a special method or knot you folks use. Some sort of adjustable knot like when tying guy line maybe?
Also may I suggest opening up a Woodlore franchise in Canada? Preferably on the east coast. New Brunswick for instance has piles of woodland and is very close to me. : )
All the best,
Jeff Alward
Ahhh sussed it! and there i was, thinking “subscribe” was to pay for it. Doh!!!
I like reading the comments of others, i find them interesting as well as informative and also giving different points of views.
Is there any way of alerting me to any new comments that have been posted other than scrolling down. Although this is ok at present, in a few more months time, or even years, this will i’m sure become tedious. Please bear in mind that technology isn’t my forte.
It would be nice to have a tutorial on sharpening crooked knives.
