Really 100 posts already! 50 seemed like a lot.
I thought I'd mark the occasion by giving some long overdue thanks to the people who have encouraged me along the way.
Starting a blog is very easy, actually 'blogging' is a little more challenging. To start with it was just me mumbling into cyberspace. Then all of a sudden people started to comment, best of all it was people whose work I've enjoyed reading.To say I was delighted is such an understatement. Your comments and emails have made the blog so much fun for me to write, and I hope fun for you to read too.
Starting at the beginning in the order in which they added comments:
The American Bushman:
I really like reading your blog and was SO delighted when you commented on my first post.
Kelly:
I still stand by what I said at the time 'cute is just another way of saying delicious!'
Mungo:
I'd been reading your stuff for a while, your comment was all the encouragement I needed.
Mrs L AKA Lucy: I was a really great surprise to see that you were actually reading the blog.
Cuz L AKA Lorin:
You're a voracious reader and can actually write yourself. meant a lot when you commented.lets get that camping trip together soon.
The Editor AKA Rex of the Deer Camp:
Wow I exist, Rex from the deer camp knows I'm blogging! I was really blown away that you'd read my outpourings.
boudica of suburbia:
SBW Compared to Ray Mears, you're too kind, I was a fan of your blog and then you commented!

You gave me another of those 'I've arrived - someone's listening' moments.

I'd followed your posts on BCUK for ages I was made up that you liked the blog. Thanks.
Dana AKA The Wild Woods Woman:

The Hobo Stripper:

Sam AKA woodcraft in poland

James you deserve special thanks for services to Suburban Bushwacking. As I'm sure you noticed I really liked the rabbit hunt. See you soon.
Thanks for reading everyone - if you like it or if you think i should be investigating some aspect of bushcraft, hunting, fishing, gathering wild food, or have thought of a new way of me making a fool out of myself in the open air
POST A COMMENT!
If you've given me a mention on your site or blog and I've not reciprocated is most likely that its because technorati hasn't listed you yet - so drop me a line.
Your Pal

A tubby suburban dad watching hunting and adventure shows on TV and wondering could I do that? This is the chronicle of my adventures as I learn to learn to Forage, Hunt and Fish for food that has lived as I would wish to myself - Wild and Free.

Please feel free to leave comments. I really enjoy hearing what readers think. The rules are the same as round my dinner table:
You're welcome to disagree, life would be way too boring if we all agreed with each other and we'd never learn anything.
I like to think that we're all grown up enough to argue every last point, right down to the bone, without bearing a grudge afterwards.
Come on in the waters lovely

Happy 100th from Toronto, Mr. The Suburban Bushwacker!
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
Mungo
SBW,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 100 posts. Many bloggers never make it that far, so you should be proud of what you've accomplished.
Thank you for your kind words about me. You can't see it, but I'm blushing.
Wow! 100 posts!
ReplyDeleteYes, you have arrived.
You realize, of course, that it's only a matter of time before you're celebrating 1000! And I look forward to reading each and every one of them.
Great stuff. Always enjoy your perspective and your writing.
Congrats on the 100th post. Great reading. Here's to the next 100.

Congratulations on your 100th post and thank you for the link and kind words. I am at about 350 posts and yes it seems like ages to arrive at this number.

Well done, its a slog but well worth it in the end. I am heading towards #400 and #1 seems like a long time away. To make it worse I have started a few more that need some TLC.
