    Telegraph Article about gathering.

    Thought I'd post a link that I came across in last weeks Sunday Telegraph. The article was by Claire Cohen about hunter gathering, in a very basic sense. But featured Nick Weston who's name I've seen mentioned on here a few times. Thought his website might be of interest...

    Legal advice needed please

    I've hesitated posting here as I work for a commercial law firm, and there can be an assumption that we know it all but the legal system is so specific now that people train for many years to practice in one field and the days of the general practice are on the way out IMHO. I'd also warn you...

    Hobbies??

    I've always fancied having a go at making leather gear, but for some reason I've never had the nerve to take the plunge. Don't know why particularly but I see some of the stuff some of the guys on here make and I'm just amazed. I guess it comes from not really knowing where to start. I'm a hands...

    Sorry another pesky 'I want a job in .....' thread but hopefully slightly different!

    Thanks for the advice, comments and best wishes every single comment so far has been useful. There is a careers area at the Outdoor show next week and I'm planning on having a good chat with someone there or at lest collecting some nmes and numbers. Regards P

    Sorry another pesky 'I want a job in .....' thread but hopefully slightly different!

    Richard Cheers for that, and all fair points and if I'm honest the sort of stuff, no punches pulled, I need to hear. I feel like I've been out of the loop for so long that I'm out of touch but what I'm hearing all sounds to be as I expected but I am just testing the water. The financial...

    Sorry another pesky 'I want a job in .....' thread but hopefully slightly different!

    Thanks Al, that is a good idea and come to think of it it was something I'd started to do back in the day when I was thinking of doing some instructor type courses although I didn't really get any response and with my path taking a sharp turn it just got abandoned. However certainly worth a...

    Sorry another pesky 'I want a job in .....' thread but hopefully slightly different!

    Hello all I've pondered posting this because I know how dull these types of posts can become but honestly opinions are needed, no matter what they are! As briefly as possible here is the thing, whilst trying hard not to make this in to a CV. I've worked for a corporate law firm for 15 years...

    Children's Bushcraft

    I've got totally engrossed in this thread, and came across this link a little while ago whilst idly googling! Woodland Trust I've accessed it myself and seems fine. It's not bushcrafty or survivalist but there is some fun stuff for the little'n's to do and thought it might be of interest.

    An old member saying hello!

    I appreciate that this is where the newbies normally post their hello's but whilst my stat's say I've been a member for a long while things never pan out quite how you'd planned or hoped and so I've also been gone for a long while. (Just realised that sounds Like I've been in Prison or...

    Children's Bushcraft

    Hello all long time no see. Anyway, great thread! I'm putting together a little weekend for me and my mini me's along with a couple of other dads and theirs. I've come up with a few activities for us but also wanted to throw in some games (games not really being my strongest point!) any...

    Hep B vaccination for first aiders etc, should we bother?

    Hello all Just a quick question(s) for all those medical professionals, CFR's, first aiders, wilderness medics etc. Do you think you should have the Hep B vaccination, does the organisation you belong to have a policy relating to it and if so what is it? The reason for asking is that I...

    Bushcraft first aid training

    I was going to mention ExMed which I thought were in Wales but having re-looked at their website I'm not so sure. As for the litigation, this is a huge concern for many people and a debate I would not presume to be an expert on. However, I am a Secamb (South East Coast Ambulance Service)...

    Correspondence details for Lofty Wiseman

    My wife has decided that she would like to drop a line of good natured feedback to Lofty Wiseman re a few things she has recently read of his. I was wondering if anyone knew of the best address to write to, I was thinking via Trueway Survival School but I'm not sure. As this is the first time...
