    Why do so many assume that the moment you stop living in a house or flat, you spend your days sitting around in some apathetic state, hungry, cold, damp and unable to think for yourself? You can find seasonal farm work 12 months of the year, much of it paid cash daily, you just need to be...

    Post-apocalypse Bushcrafting and Scavenging to rebuild the world

    I think youd have to go back to the most basic, neolithic agricultural system, cos until you can produce a surplus of food, you just wont have the time to think about anything other than being hungry You could have a neuro surgeon, nuclear physisist, even ray mears in your merry band...

    I hear what you say, and you gotta want it for the right reasons, my time was chasing seasonal farm work around the country, and trying to stay out of trouble in the leaner times, but i think that open_life is asking on a bushcraft forum, so i reckon he probably knows the score. I doubt...

    Titanium Spork?

    I hear what you say, but there is a another option, a simple household fork . . or a spoon or both, costing pennies or nothing! (or John Fennas lovely carved wooden creation) If youre a die-hard ultralighter, then the grammes saved might be worth paying the high prices, but when i read...
