Welcome to Nature's Trails, a site dedicated to getting folks closer to nature and skills long forgotten by giving you the tools, equipment and knowledge to enjoy Nature's marvels and resources. It's something I have wanted to do for a while now and I hope you will enjoy coming here as much as I do, keeping the site fresh, informative and amusing. I firmly believe a sense of humour should be in every survival kit and possibles pouch!

Our ancestors were hunter gatherers within hard working communities, farmers and woodsmen alike making a living from what mother nature provided in the great British country side. Working hard, reaping nature's harvests, hunting for food, raising live stock and growing crops in the fields, they worked in tune with nature and she provided her bounty.

In this modern world we often forget that we are a part of Nature. It's very easy to sit far removed from the wonders of the natural world, in front of the TV wishing we were there, longing to be Jack Hargreaves, David Attenborough or Ray Mears! Here at Nature's Trails we aim to help you to change that!

Whether you are walking to work, walking your dog, playing with the kids in the park, or bushcrafting nature surrounds you from birds soaring in the sky to the plantain pushing its way up through the crack in the pavement, It's in your gardens and window boxes and even sometimes in your homes! We want to help you use your senses, open your eyes and ears so that you can enjoy your environment, look at what's around you and see what resources nature can provide, and most of all, how to relax and feel comfortable within Mother Nature's embrace.
So again welcome and may be one day we will be walking one of Nature's Trails together ?
