    I don't want to be accused of being a Bear Grylls groupie, but out of curiosity where did the thread go?

    gap year

    Definitely do it! Slightly different situation, but I left school at 16, worked and then returned to education in my twenties. Education is important, but so too is life experience. It will be so refreshing to take a break, live a little and then continue with your education if you then...

    Emergency belay video

    Good video. Might be nice to zoom out slightly so we can see your anchor point more clearly, seeing as this is the crucial part of any rope work. It's always nice to show everything on the camera, so it's clear to the viewer. Good, useful and practical video.

    Preparedness, do any practise it?

    I'm a bit of a prepper. Where I live (South Korea), there is an always present military threat from the North. It is very unlikely that they would attack, but the threat is there. It affects daily life. There are air raid drill/sirens that sound every month and there are always soldiers visible...

    Fear of the dark

    This thread gets more and more intriguing. I wonder if this person is ex-military? Could you set up a well hidden OP just outside your area and spend a day or night watching to see who comes and goes? The camera idea seems like a great one.

    Fear of the dark

    JD: I would never have gone back after the first tent/hand night. Really an amazing story! It has certainly made me think differently about camping alone. I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to hear how this pans out. Stay safe buddy.

    Tree ID help

    Probably some sort of ornamental hybrid. When I was working I would often see ornamentals and have a right headache trying to ID them.

    chainsaw advice

    Heath: Don't be put off. It is not rocket science. I've seen people in SE Asia using chainsaws in flip-flops, shorts and smoking a fag :yikes: If they can do it, so can you!!! Again, feel free to PM if I can help. I don't mind answering basic questions. I'm a qualified tree surgeon and...

    Hi everyone, echo here. I posted a thread in the Edge Tools forum and realised it was my first post...oops! Realised I should have posted here first, sorry. Well, I used to work as a tree surgeon and now work as a teacher. Love anything to do with the outdoors,walking, camping and...

    chainsaw advice

    In a previous life I was a tree surgeon. Heath, you are right, people are not born knowing how to use chainsaw. It is all learnt. The thread seems rather negative and snobbish in my opinion. Training: In regards to training this is a great idea if you have the money. If not, there are a lot of...
