    Losing Weight!

    Slow Carb diet from Tim Ferriss' book 4 Hour Body. Really works. I would ignore or investigate further the vitamins he advises however the diet really works. It also worth looking at the Fast 5:2 diet.

    PhD - Bushcraft Research

    Is not experimental archaeology already doing this? I would really recommend Dr Lynne Kelly's thesis which is basically the book Memory Code as it at least will give you a scope for how much knowledge needs reconstructing. Not so much, the Romans killed the Druids who were more than likely the...

    PhD - Bushcraft Research

    Ok, I am deeply confused at the moment. What we call Bushcraft is what was done before writing. We are trying to work out how they did things with a lot more scope than anyone in an academic setting so we may get answers just not the right ones. Memory Code is about a woman's experience walking...

    There is some research saying that your actions can change your DNA. That said check out Dr Rhonda Patrick for the latest in what works or does not. Did you see the news article about Blue Zone Okinawa and how they might fall out of that status. The reason.... they built a McDonalds on the island.

    Buy once/ last a lifetime / indestructible clothing

    I worn them as my daily casual wear so every day for years and every pair went on the cross under the groin. Apart from that they were bomb proof. It like groceries staying the same price however the pack is getting smaller. Any way they can save money and take more of ours.

    Orange is the New Black

    There is a big thing in the past that no one is really sure what groups meant when they used certain colours.

    Orange is the New Black

    That is a really good colour for an emergency blue. It is called United Nations Blue and it is Pantone 2925. It used to be Pantone 279.

    Buy once/ last a lifetime / indestructible clothing

    Avoid Regatta and Craighoppers as for me they wear out in the under groin area. I think you would have to make your own to get really good quality.

    Losing Weight!

    Am I the only one who carries at least five drinks? Tea bags, Coffee, Chocolate, Stock Cubes and Hi5 tablets. This is the first time I have heard of someone who does not like the smell of coffee. I am considering adding a tea ball to my kit for pine needle tea etc. Coffee bags have been a...

    Not sure why you think that? They are a brilliant little tool and like any sharp tool can be used as a weapon.

    Which bushcraft/outdoor/survival/camping/hiking Youtube channels do you subscribe to?

    I find the knot tying videos a little stressful. Even Dave's books give me a twitch. They get them wrong, call them by odd names or use a name which does not really apply to one knot. Also I have found my Bushcraft thing I cannot discuss due to it requiring 3 hours and a slide presentation...

    Anyone remember wire saws, 40+ years ago, that cut?

    The explorer survival knife kit had a single wire saw which was really good. Maybe just add a sabre saw blade and make a handle.
