Aye! its all very well people blarting on about Ray Mears this or Bear Grylls that. What about the original T.V. (television) trad craft guru Jack Hargreaves?
'Out of Town' and then 'How?' these programs took me hook line and sinker at the tender age of about 7 and have stayed with me to this day (nearly 44) I suspect that there are many others who were inspired by this quirky old bloke with a beard, pipe and glasses, always making something traditional or riding around in bowtop gypsy caravans. Never any showbiz b.s. or 'hollywood' about his programs, just inspirational genious-fantastic!.
There's an idea for UK TV History or the like.
kind regards
