Hello!

Thought I'd stop by and introduce myself as I signed up yesterday- It's great to find a site dedicated to the ranger and their skills!!
I'm a Brit living in Finland and live in a rural area close to Helsinki. Finland is a sparsley populated country, so I am fortunate to be surrounded by fields and deep forests filled with wildlife; deer, moose, squirrels and hares as well as the odd lynx, bear and wolf. As you can imagine a lot of my free time is spent with our three dogs walking the paths, looking for animals, practicing photography and also foraging for wild herbs (I leave berries and mushrooms for the amateurs
), which are both new hobbies or interests of mine. I've always been a fan of fantasy and wildlife, so combine the two and you have the ranger.
Ranger Skills! I've been a keen martial artist for a few decades, started with the usual traditional styles and then moved into MMA in the mid 90s (Old school NHB!!) and then switched to the Filipino art of Kali after a much needed break! The tomahawk is my weapon of choice, but love swingin' a machete about and endangering myself more than other people. I've dabbled in a bit of archery and that's something I wish to get more involved in this year. May be look into some HEMA too.
Not much into LARPing or SCA, but hoping to learn some martial skills, survival and bushcraft type stuff .
