    HELP NEEDED! Laser measurement of badgers

    Hirrooo, shouldn't tease about the rabbit data. Sounds like you're on the verge of a breakthrough for us zemmiphobists- really glad you're taking the time to factor out other 'critters', as i've experimented with motion sensors before. After spending a terrible nights sleep being woken up by...

    what other activities improve your bushcraft?

    Surfing, for similar reasons. Except the knot tying. And the navigation bit. But a great way to feel at one with nature... and to remember how powerful it is, and how insignificant you are.

    HELP NEEDED! Laser measurement of badgers

    Hirrooo, I think I know hwere this is leading- excellent news for us zemmiphobists. As much as I love bushcraft, the thought of spending the night, alone and unprotected, with one of THEM bearing down on me, is unbearable. Makes me shudder just to think of it. Incidently, please PM me if...

    HELP NEEDED! Laser measurement of badgers

    Hirooo, what model of speed camera did you use? As you are no doubt aware, badgers eyes are laser reflective in the 40-60 picoHz range and, coupled with the associated doppler problems if the badger is travelling at 90 deg to the beam (whilst looking directly at the camera), may have caused a...

    Ray Mears' Wild Food (on television)

    After checking my latest copy of 'What Beard?' monthly, I can confirm Gordon has been hired to replace Pete Waterman in the forthcoming Hollywood remake of 'The Hitman and Her'. Apparently the last episode, where he gets amongst the class A drugs and young female students like a tramp with a...

    Dried fruit "jelly"....

    When ray tasted the roasted hazelnut and claimed that it was a taste of the past, were we seriously supposed to believe that he has never enjoyed a Topic or Snickers in his life? Come, come, Mr TV producer big shot, give the audience SOME credit.

    All the gear and no idea!

    Gaiters & gore-tex socks are a good shout, but only use gore-tex socks when you're static. I once ignored this advice, and spent 3 days on Dartmoor with soaking wet feet- niiiice! If, however, you just wear them in camp, they dry your feet out and keep them warm- then you just have to deal...

    Bushcraft Quotes

    'You are as only as sharp as your knife' 'Care less by drinking more' 'Give a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life' - anon.

    Ray Mears Bushcraft - can you name that tune?

    "the in sound from way out" is an album by the beastie boys of all people, and tracks from it get used a lot on rays stuff. So do primal scream. Can't be his own choice; he said he liked take that on jo whiley's show. Have to agree. If it was Ray's choice, there'd be a funky mix of Gary...

    pee in a bottle

    Before the thread is quarantined for questionable interest in no 1s & 2s :eek: , thought I'd just add my two-penneth on the subject. We had a visit by His Ray-al Highness, where he gave a talk on Telemark, then a dedicated lecture on Arctic (where we were headed). The man Himself advocated...

    Rays on Paul O'grady's

    ...except he didn't look as buff. And his suit wasn't as nice.

    Rays on Paul O'grady's

    Does that mean that Ray doesn't get his tie-tying scout badge now? And thought-crime is a serious matter. Clem, please only use 'goodspeak' when referring to ray to avoid upsetting the broad-minded types out there. And how dare you suggest his buns didn't look toned and buff in those tight...

    Broadcast Article on Ray Mears.

    Agreed. The series just seems like an elaborate set-up to buy the latest products by Ray PLC. The series is slow, does not provide enough practical knowledge and is, ultimately and sadly, two 'anoraks' waxing lyrically about what might have been. 'You're eating it like a four year old' 'they...

    Any meet ups in South West?

    Sounds good- reckon I could drag my bottom from Newquay for that. Seeing as 'coastal' is becoming a hot topic, any chance of that? Or maybe a professor of a made up discipline with a dodgy beard...?
