I have been interested in nature all my life and have been working in the field of nature conservation since the age of eleven. I currently manage three nature reserves.
I am interested in traditional skills and crafts and outdoor/wilderness living, incorporating primitive, survival and bushcraft skills.
I spend 6 – 8 weeks of the year at my cabin in Swedish Lapland.
I will use this site to share my skills and knowledge, as I have done previously here; http://fenlaners.blogspot.com/
I hope you enjoy my site and please feel free to contribute to the sharing of skills and knowledge.
Thanks

Hey Fenlander,
Great blog: I appreciate the mix of topics; natural history, skills, pics, etc. Just began my own (totally self-indulgent) blog if you are interested:

Hi Kevin,
It was really great to meet you at John’s last Sunday! Hopefully we’ll see you again soon. Whereabouts are the nature reserves that you’re looking after? I’ll come and have a look next time I’m up your way…
Keep well and keep in touch
Pete Truin
Hi Pete, Nice to hear from you. For an answer to your question you would need to drop me an email.
Keep in touch
Kevin
Hey there,
I saw your post (on the old site) about the green woodwork meeting and the pics of Will on the bowl lathe (turning Alder if i recall). I was actually there it being my first meet with that group.
Since then ive not heard of any more of any meets, and since i also have an interest in wilderness survival, traditional crafts and similar thought your a good place to try and track them down from!
Also I hope you dont mind me saying hi.
Anyhow if the green wood group are still active or you are out and about Cambridgeshire way give me a shout.
Best wishes
Tim
Hi Tim, Drop me an email and I can explain the situation.
Hi Kevin, finally managed to find time to check your site. It’s really great and definitely makes we want to try a few things myself.
Cheers
Rick.
Hi Kevin,
My name is Florent, I’m from the Alps and I’m very interested about old wild knowlege. I have a blog about wild skills too. So I would write a text on my blog (in french)about you and your blog. Just I ask you are you OK ?
Best regards
Florent
Thank you very much for asking Florent and yes you certainly may use my blog. Than you again!
Hi kevin,
love your site, I niticed that you include a list of companies you don’t recommend buying from, well, a couple of days ago I ordered 5 firesteels from firesteel.co.uk, I e-mailed sales querying when they are most likley to arrive to me, well after 4 e-mails nothing! I then called both the land line and the mobile, yes ! I got an answer from the answer machine, so ‘firesteel.co.uk’ does exist! But no answer! Is this guy dead or something?
