Thanks Ash - great to meet, great trouble-free trade, and all the best for your Arctic trip. Hope to see you again and enjoy the RM/AW ;) Moderator note: Thread closed after a member with necro-post tendencies dug it up to share their opinion on value and pricing. :deadhorse:

Only just...Meeting a member this afternoon who has cash waiting

Thanks eraaij, interesting info ;)

That was my reading of A.Wood's statement: As far as 'Hollow Grind' goes, clearly this has particular connotations to particular people, but in this case I was merely referencing the maker's statements as well as what Mcnutt/Orford told me some 10 years ago....

Umm, OK, didn't quite read that way to me but fair enough!

Just been back to the AW site to re-read/examine the page in question: Macaroon, are you referring to the top picture with the Woodlore knife above the Tufnol handled knife that he states he originally loaned to Ray in the early development process? If so, perhaps you are confusing the very...

Oh dear, already inciting controversy on the board inside my first 10 posts! Thanks for the supporting experience Bluebs4 ;) >AndyP/Macaroon - if it helps at all, I did consult on this very matter with far far more experienced/talented individuals than myself while on the aforementioned...

You lucky so-and-so! :cool:

Great report MORFY! How's your health now? I'm curious if you were ever told (and remember) by the hospital what treatments they actually gave you? Your story is a very interesting one, not least because it reminds me very vividly of the experience of an old Jungle guide/expert friend of mine...

I guess you decided by now max83 which course was right for you, but I can echo what others have said re:Woodsmoke. Having completed I think 4 of their courses over the years, the standard of content and instruction/instructor was very high indeed. Kerne's quote re: differences between survival...

I agree, a good and interesting question, and as Tony said it will be good to hear more of your experiences as you have them. For me, I grew up in reasonably remote (for UK) moorland in Scotland where the nearest shop is still 10+ miles away, where my interest in living outside and making...
