Back from the Gathering





I got home from the Gathering yesterday extremely tired but elated. The Gathering was a great success on many levels, not only for the Woodlife Network, but also on a personal basis. It was a great laugh to boot.

It's a shame not everyone made the photograph, but there's always next year!

It's impossible to thank everyone in person who visited the stand and introduced themselves or who made nice comments either about this site, the Network or the videos on YouTube.

Your comments really mean a lot to me as did your kind donations towards the cost of more storage space for the Network next year.

It was also great to see old friends. It's only at these events do you renew old acquaintances and of course get introduced through them to other people. This is true networking and follows the spirit of the Wilderness Gathering.

Thanks to Sean, who helped out on Saturday, but a special thanks to Maverick47 who helped me at the stand over the four days and also to George who spent some time helping out as well. George - you're on the staff list next year!

There's were just too many things that went on to tell you about individual events, so I'll have to introduce them in context over a period of time.

Finally, a special thanks to Roger Harrington from Bison Bushcraft, who gave me the opportunity to have a stand at the Gathering which opened up a whole new world of opportunities.

There may possibly be many things happening in the future and if only half the plans come to any kind of fruition, this site will be very busy for many posts to come.

Thanks for the visit.

Pablo.
