What I got to see and hear of the programme seamed pretty good...but I didn't get to enjoy it...

My damn mother talked ALL THE WAY THROUGHT IT!!!

What 'woman' he spoke to? I missed a few bits whilst I was looking for some gaffa tape to tape her mouth...:tapedshut
This Thursday I'm going to send her to her room to work on her computer, or tape it so that I can wahtch it IN PEACE when she's gone to bed.

Really enjoyed it. Though I did find the cave painting bit a tad amusing ... especially when he was trying to give a narrative with all that red goo in his gob (give it a rinse and a spit first Ray, for godsakes, you're on telly!).

Have subsequently noticed some fresh carvings on stones up in the Peak District near Kinder Scout - inspired by Mr Mears, perhaps? Go 'rock' steady, eh folks - don't want to be accused of geological graffiti ...

Bring on the next one (shame they're not all set in the UK though).

:lmao:

I don't have access to the PC as much as I would like to. I hadn't realised I was that far behind though. We have agreed not to flood the thread anymore though. If he does however my fingers are poised to wipe him out.

back on topic I doubt I'll like the next episode as much as I can't go there and play myself.

On the subject of kit, it would be nice to see Ray making clothes from skins. I seem to remember he got some boots made for him on one programme in the past and has also made shoes from coconuts


edited: Mnay of my posts in the jokes thread on BB are multiple jokes.

There are very few occasions when I regret not having a telly--and this is one of them. :cry:

I do hope this series comes out on DVD. :shock:
But if you don't have a telly then surely DVD is .... don't mind me ...

How come if we're not all hung up about kit (as Falling Rain seems to suggest we may be) then why are the four threads with the most replies (apart from this one) all about knives? (I admit it, I've had a very quiet day at work). In the end it's just a tool, and a tool is just something to aid you to carry out a task - the means not the end. If Mors Kochanski (who definitely knows his s**t better than most) can ply his craft with a relatively cheap knife doesn't that suggest that the skills are the thing.
I'm not getting at knife fans or anyone else who loves their kit (knives were just the most obvious example) but there does seem to be an imbalance between knowing and owning.

Ooops! I meant to say four out of the five most replied to threads other than this one were about knives. My reasoning still stands though.

I have seen this point a number of times and it is very valid. And I have a theory, but it may only apply to me :roll:

Due to work and family commitments I cannot spend nearly as much time as I would like in the great outdoors, however, I do have time, at work (like now) when I can review and order Kit. When you get something (knife, stove, whatever) for your outdoor adventures it feals as if you are at least preparing for time outside, even if you cannot spend the time there. I am probably not explaining this well but it gives us a tangible object to focus our plans and daydreams on.

For example when at home watching the kids etc as I pass where my knife is stored. I can take it out for a moment and imagine the use I will put this too when I get the time. In my head I am feathering sticks or building a shelter. In some ways it is like having something that remids you of someone who has passed on. Kit is a reminder of times past and opertunities to come.

Not sure if that makes sense but it is clear in my head so if we meet ask to have a look inside my head and you will see what I mean.
