Which county is he in? Anyone know? Hes got a map there of the brecon beacons, so south wales?

Its good advice but I think your typical farmer takes one look at you, and decides whether he likes you or not, and thats that.:)

I really enjoy Mikes videos, amd although the intro access videos are necessary I've glazed over a bit, so looking forward to the meat and taters.......

I've only watched the intro episode and even though the presentation is similar to Mr M and Mr K IMHO , I will watch the others when I get the chance and will subscribe as you seem easier on the ears . Cheers and keep up the good work. Always grateful to folks willing to share knowledge 👍

I also subscribe to him, and I'm not even in the UK!
Although his first vids on this series are not relevant to me I still watch as he does impart the odd gem, and his earlier vids are good too.

Here's Episode 6

IMHO, a single back pack to meet all requirements results in compromise.

A +1 from me for Mike's videos. They have certainly accounted for a few evenings caught up in YT.

A gentle and honest presenting style. And importantly for me, it is a journey through the subject, rather than a prescribed 'do it this way' video. It is interesting to see how, over time, new techniques/kit is tried out, possibly later to be retired.
I have spoken to a few novice bushcrafters (like myself) and it is surprising how many have been drawn in by the series. And been given the confidence to go out and try things for themselves, with some confidence that they are at least going roughly in the right direction.

When Ray Mears hangs up his bow drill with the BBC, I wonder if we may see Mike again? I might even buy a again television for that!!
