My Introduction

So I as a way of introduction my name is James Lerch.  For what it is worth worth I consider myself a Christian first and foremost, a woodsman secondly.  Bushcraft is a major part of my woodsman's skill set.  Being able to work with God's nature and not feel foreign in it is important to me.

I have had the privilege of being mentored by what I consider to be the top woodsmen on the continent of North America.  I have attended meetings and been taught by the likes of Terry Barney, Israel Turley, Joe Robinet and many more that I can't hope to cover here.

I have been kicking around the idea of setting up a blog site...  I have been reluctant though.  While I have enjoyed posting my woods outings and thoughts on the best Bushcraft forum on the internet, BushCraftUSA.com there are some restrictions that they have to place on the forum.  Those restrictions make sense for the forum and are really what makes that place so dang great.  I will continue to post there as I feel it is a great community that I am proud to be part of.  Having a blog site of my own allows me to branch out even more though.

For the most part this blog is my public journal of my journey through the woods and life.  I plan to evolve this blog as time allows and as my skills continue to progress.

Thank you for your time and viewing this,

James Lerch
