    Beware Wanted Scammers on Forum

    “Ethical” and “big companies” all in one sentence! There’ll be just one big ethical company soon, and we’ll all be worthless and happy. Time for me to take a nap....

    Beware Wanted Scammers on Forum

    Big companies handling everyone’s money and us losing the value of trade or barter is what’s going wrong on this planet right now....if bushcrafty countryside people are happy for their ability to build trust/barter/trade to be lost then crack on with PP.

    That protection also can and does get used against sellers where a buyer is out to scam or just doesn’t want something anymore or didn’t read a description etc

    Beware Wanted Scammers on Forum

    The level of fee, for handling other people’s hard earned money where most of the times that handling is smooth and faultless. You don’t need to agree with me!

    Beware Wanted Scammers on Forum

    Duff deals aren’t scams though. Disagreement is far removed from being fleeced....PayPal fleeces all BT ought to be fine amongst long term members/posters.

    Trip Report Well needed hammock anaesthesia

    No hesitation in saying last night was my most deep, comfortable and enjoyable outdoor sleep yet. I had my dinner and a hot chocolate from the hammock around 5.30pm and nodded off for an hour to the sound of the birds, up to water the foliage then sent off to sleep by more bird song and rain on...

    Dartmoor.

    My neighbours garden is largely my neighbours concern but I’d do or say something if someone else was mistreating it. And. Respuctuflness is difficult to teach if the formative years are filled with disrespect.

    Dartmoor.

    Instant gratification and a sense of entitlement are the issues: the Next/John Lewis/Sunday retail park consumer crowd found a new love for nature throughout the lockdowns, that love lead to them getting their slice of nature and leaving a trail of damage and shite that someone else would be...

    Dartmoor.

    The US reference was in regards their wilderness areas, I have travelled there and agree entirely. The Norfolk Broads is my locale and I feel similar to you and Dartmoor on reflection of my comments, but stand by my feelings of this country of ours being over “owned”. I have no option but to...

    Dartmoor.

    Indeed, I guess it’s easy to dismiss other areas, I do get protective over my locale.... Apologies to the original poster for that....his point has gotten muddied but not lost.

    Dartmoor.

    Just to add: it is a funny old world now, would you believe there’s people glamourising wild camping on roundabouts....

    Dartmoor.

    I’m not aware of the rules, don’t like rules, I like freedom.

    Dartmoor.

    I agree, but what’s the options nigelp? Banning all access? Education? Education only works if someone wants to be educated. I wonder how the Americans manage to have such incredible access? Inclusion/access/and no big landowners sitting in their ivory towers sneering down at the peasants. I’ve...

    Dartmoor.

    It’s a loose term, I’d assume he meant not using a camp site, no idea who you mean but if he followed the code of arrive late/leave early/leave no trace then not sure what issue anyone would have despite bylaws.... Our island is overpopulated with severe access issues born out of too many acres...
