This is a good series for those who aint seen it - Andy starts off with all the usual kit but each day brummy teaches him how to use a natural alternative and then takes away his modern item.

Andy is a little tongue in cheek but then I like that too - its a refreshing change from the heavy stuff! :biggthump

PS I think its called lost in the woods or some such

 

[gillmacca]

Just to confirm, it is caled lost in the woods

 

[Squidders]

Well, I'll record it. I'm happy to post the cassette to someone if they want to post it around further... Or I could just stick it on a CD as an avi file if that's easier?

I'm going to record it any way so it's no bother.

p.s. is it on every week? or is this a one off?

It's a good show... They showed themall back to back one day a year or so back.

[Squidders]

Ok,

I recorded both episodes and they are both the same (The one at 0900 and 1400)...

Due to copyright concerns I can maybe make the file available to you, please PM me if you want it.

By saying this I am in no way endorsing copyright theft or intellectual property theft or involving the bushcraftuk sites or its moderators/members with the distribution of such files so neurgh!

I caught this this evening Brummie Stokes and SAS guy. It was a good programme a little tongue in cheek and the skills were a little rough around the edges but I guess this is the difference better survival and bushcraft eh!

 

[Squidders]

Please PM me if you missed it or if it was not available to you. :biggthump

 

[tomtom]

i just saw it, Thanks to Squidders (legend :biggthump ) looks like the sas do things a bit differently to ray!!

i must admit i never though i never thought of looking for tinder in my belly botton!! but then i guess its not really worth it enless you have a whole platoons worth of the fluf!! :rolmao:

Thanks again Squidders

 

[Squidders]

No worries tomtom

next part will be up tomorrow... and as for the belly button fluff... that's the best use I have seen for it. for some reason it's always blue, even if I am not wearing anything blue... I wonder how that happens :?:

 

[gillmacca]

This is a bit more like the stuff I would like to see Ray Mears do.
The thinks that we can do and can learn more from this type of program.
Although this type is for the beginner, I notice not one of these programs that I have seen, have mentioned the fact that it is illegal to make a fire in this country (even when the program is set in this country)
If i was a beginner, I would think it was allowed

Why do you think fires are illegal in this country GM? There are many places you can light a fire legally. In my fireplace is one example, or on my own land. Can you explain as I'm confused.

[gillmacca]

What i meant was, in the woods.
If i was new to bushcraft, and saw this program, i would have thought it ok to make a fire in the forest

 

[tenbears10]

It can be if you have permission. It is not blanket 'illegal'. There are quite a few campsites where you can have fires or if you get the wood owners permission you are fine. I get what you mean that none of this is mentioned in bushcraft programs though.
