There's an interview with Ray Mears in "Country Walking" magazine this month. Not terribly in depth and certainly no suprises, being more to do with very general walking than bushcraft. Surely we could do better? Tony, is the idea for members to submit questions to you once an interviewee is selected?

I had not thought of that but it is a good idea. When interviews are arranged I will let you all know and you can chip in with questions :biggthump Good idea Jack

I'm intending on doing as much face to face as possible, if not that then over the phone.

My vote would be for Michael Palin. If anyone has had loads to do with indigenous folk it must be him!

If we're going to be ambitious (and why not?) , how about John 'Lofty' Wiseman, the guy who wrote the bible?

What about Michael Scott the 19 year old lad who has just escaped from kidnappers in Columbia. It's obviously to early today but when all the frenzy dies down and hopefully the other hossies get released....

Wouldn't it be good to hear how he overcame 12 days in the Sierra Nevada and be picked up by the indigenous people of the region? :roll::newbie:

Hi all,i'd like to see an interview done with F.J.Taylor,i've read a couple of his books and although he has travelled the world practising survival (everything from ice fishing to rabbiting in the outback)i get the impression he is most at home as a countryman in the UK,and i've certainly picked up a few tips from his books about how to come by a free dinner or two(purse nets across field drains,long netting with a clod of earth,etc)He used to do a column for the shooting times so praps we could contact him thru there?I think he lives near Thame. Cheers Mike

I'd really like to see an interview with John Lord. he is about the only Master flintknapper in the UK. And,... very under exposed! (If anybody knows a way of getting in touch with him, please let me know...)

Regards

His son Will Lord is also an accomplished flint knapper and has his own website. I think it's called 'Beyond 2000 BC'.

Good luck.

Here is a suggestion-- RAY jARDINE -- has been one of my major inspirational characters over the last few tears , not a mainstream bushcraft writer as such but he is at the point where lightweight adventure , be it hiking, kayaking or crossing oceans meets bushcraft . Regards Steve ( big nurse )

Keep your eyes and hearts open to common folks. Shepherds,tinkers,fishermen and farmers are outdoors when sane people are inside mugging up in front of the tellie. An old fisherman taught me to walk the beaches with my hands behind my back. My hands weren't blasted by sand,my coat stayed close and I walked a measured pace watching my steps.
