Help Shape the Future of the UKSN Website – We Want Your Ideas!

At UKSN, we’ve always built our community with you in mind. From family-friendly camping adventures to bushcraft skills, prepping, and self-sufficiency, our goal has been to create a space where every member feels connected, informed, and empowered.

But here’s the thing: our website should reflect your needs just as much as our community values. That’s why we’re reaching out to you – the members – to help shape what comes next.

Why Your Input Matters

The UKSN website is more than just a hub for articles and event listings. It’s your portal into the community – a place to connect, learn, and access tools that make your outdoor, adventure, and prepping experiences easier and more enjoyable.

We want the website to do more than just look good. It should be practical, useful, and tailored to the things you care about. Whether that’s planning your next camp, sharing skills, or keeping your communications and safety resources organised, your ideas will directly impact how the site evolves.

Examples of Features We’re Thinking About

While we’re open to all suggestions, here are a few ideas already on our radar:

Dedicated Comms Page

One personal suggestion is a page dedicated to communications. This could include:

• Downloadable UKSN radio licences

• Resources for Project Lora and other radio projects

• Guides for using radios safely and legally

• Tips for setting up communication systems while camping or on expeditions

This page could act as a one-stop shop for anyone needing practical, reliable communications support – perfect for hobbyists, campers, and prepper enthusiasts alike.

Skills and Challenge Hub

Many members have asked for a space to track skill development. Imagine a hub where you can:

• Access tutorials and guides for bushcraft, navigation, first aid, and more

• Log your completed skills and earn badges or patches

• Join community challenges to test your knowledge and earn recognition

It’s not just about gamifying skills – it’s about creating a practical, motivating way to build confidence in the outdoors.

Member Tools and Resources

We want UKSN to be a go-to resource for our members. Potential additions could include:

• Downloadable templates for emergency planning, camping checklists, or prepper inventories

• Interactive maps of safe camping spots, community hubs, or UKSN events

• A library of vetted guides and how-tos for outdoor and self-sufficiency projects

These tools are all about saving you time, keeping you informed, and helping you enjoy your adventures with peace of mind.

Your Voice Can Shape the Site

Now it’s over to you. What features or pages would make the UKSN website more useful for you? Maybe it’s a new forum category, a resource page we haven’t thought of, or even a way to better showcase member content.

No idea is too big or too small. Every suggestion is valuable and will help us prioritise the updates that matter most to you, our members.

How to Share Your Ideas

You can send your suggestions in a few ways:

• Leave a comment on this blog post

• Comment on our social media posts

• Message us directly on the website

We’ll review all submissions and look for ways to bring the best ideas to life. Your feedback will directly influence how UKSN evolves and the resources we create for the community.

What’s Next

Once we gather your ideas, we’ll start planning updates and feature releases. Some changes may appear quickly, while larger projects will take a bit more time – but rest assured, every suggestion counts.

Together, we can make UKSN not just a community, but a fully equipped hub tailored to our members’ needs – whether that’s for camping, prepping, bushcraft, or simply connecting with like-minded people.

💡 Final Thought: UKSN is built for you, and your input is what will make it even better. So take a few moments to think about what you’d love to see on the site and share your ideas. We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
