Agree ^^^^^^^^

I play a home made pentatonic flute. While I can play other people’s tunes, when I’m out at a camp I’m not particularly interested in the sort of music that’s written down in tadpoles on telegraph wires :):emoji_musical_score::emoji_musical_note: I play along with the wind in the trees, the...

How sad. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees & the stars; you have a right to be here. You ARE Nature! While I enjoy a camp singalong, I’m predominantly a solo camper. My OP referred more to playing or singing on your own. Is bushcraft really free of music? How very...

Yep, slow here in the Midlands.

Wow that’s very interesting. I thought most sea snail shells like the whelk and winkle were formed in a fibonacci series I have never heard or thought of a construction based in a harmonic series. Thank you! I wonder if the fifth harmonic in the conch shell is as discordant as it is to our...

Now you’ve got me thinking! I used to have one half a century ago. @Kadushu Do you play it out of doors?

Are you happy with the harmonics?

Hi, Welcome.

Dunno whether the evident confusion at Song of the Paddle was ever resolved back in 2013. Here is my Big Swede shown against the 1970’s catalogue from which I bought it. The Big Swede and Super Swede are side by side in the illustration. Mine has mahogany scales because one of the plastic...

Does anyone carry a musical instrument with them when they are out? A lyrical larynx counts - whether you think you can sing or not!

So is there any merit at all in theTV programme Naked and Afraid? I haven’t watched it beyond a few minutes because it seemed ….. well just silly and prurient. Produced just to jerk my chain. I know bits are blurred so you can’t assess the bushcraft. I’m leaving! ( but the question remains.)

I defer to your knowledge on a subject about which I know nothing and you could well be right. That film was full of errors. Clint Eastwood, Richard Burton et al were supposed to be disguised as Alpenkorps (properly Gebirgsjäger,). A P42 Bergen might have been a little conspicuous. :lmao...

Whatever rucksacks they were carrying in Where Eagles Dare, I want one. Another film where ammunition and explosive supply wasn’t a problem. Apparently in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid they were only allowed six shots per gun before reloading until the last scene when there were no...

Shoot

Ticks!

There was a film called “Shootemup” which took the p out of violent gun warfare films. Our hero would have needed an ammunition supply convoy half a mile long. His guns never overheated or jammed. Just as the producer intended, I found myself laughing at the ridiculousness of the scenario...

My visits to the cinema were almost entirely limited to holidays, particularly our Christmas break in Keswick. I don’t think we’ve done that for the last four years. Pity - we used to get a combined meal and cinema ticket at Zephs in Ambleside. I particularly dislike cinema remakes. How...

It’s a difficult job to do properly post manufacture. At least you know that you only have to replace the damaged side. Have you got a sewing machine?

I’ve sewn a zip inside a broken zip, canvas to canvas. It’s a fiddle but not difficult if you have a slow moving sewing machine. I replaced both sides and the slider but if you can match it up you might only need to sew on one side. You probably know this perfectly well but connect the...
