    Show me your faithful EDC

    Just saving the taxpayers money. I think it’s only the salt, oil and grease holding it together!

    Buffalo Special 6 - astonished

    I’ve had one for over 15 years, it’s still a go to bit of kit for me. Worth its weight in gold, and it’s not the lightest or most compact thing to pack. They work best when worn next to the skin, that’s how it’s designed to be worn. I’ve worn it over shirts and other base layers with no problem...

    Branded Waterproof jackets - Worth the money?

    Look at the Carinthia TRG line, it’s a bloody good bit of kit. I hate wearing waterproofs but the TRG is a bloody brilliant bit of kit. Extremely well thought out, I think it was developed in conjunction with the bootnecks.

    Ray Mears Scottish Mountain Gear Rucksack

    I think Jay Jays in Brecon make custom stuff. The leafcutter is a great design but I think it needs updating with higher quality clips and fastenings. Hill People Gear make some great kit.

    Universal Basic Income

    I’m going to opt out of Christmas this year, that modern social construct argument is a winner!

    Universal Basic Income

    Sadly, my bank disagrees and so I’m still having to pay the mortgage with a modern construct.

    BreakFast

    I find carbs make me feel sluggish in the morning and generally like to keep them to a minimum. I tried the keto diet for about a year and have maintained my breakfast habits from that. I really enjoy the grapefruit juice though.

    BreakFast

    Have you tried it with coconut oil? It’s pretty good. When I’m at work it’s bacon and eggs, at home I usually have a chunk of chorizo, some cheese and a handful of nuts. Washed down with black coffee and a glass of grapefruit juice.

    How about this mountain man, if you haven’t read the book “Crow Killer” then be sure to pick it up. P.S. It ain’t Eric Cantona

    Ray mears or ed stafford?

    Who is that? Love the Highlander reference though. Does he experience the Quickening every time someone fails to make fire?

    Starting Out?

    Join a gun club, learn about marksmanship and then disappear down the nerdy rabbit hole that is reloading. You’ll meet plenty of hunters, fishermen, farmers and tradesmen along the way.

    Ray mears or ed stafford?

    It’s a shame, for me he was the Louis Theroux of the outdoors. His programmes were both enlightening and entertaining. During ‘Tribe’ when it was time for him to leave, you could always tell they were sad to see him go. Definitely a bloke I’d like to share some liquid exhilaration with.

    Ray mears or ed stafford?

    Agreed, he is credible. His TV stuff is fun and massively over the top, but he is accomplished and his mental fortitude is impressive. One bloke who hasn’t had a mention here that I always loved watching, especially when taking hallucinogenic concoctions and inverting his penis (as is...

    Ray mears or ed stafford?

    I’ve always enjoyed hearing of his adventures, more so than any others. I don’t think his skills in bushcraft or survival are on par with Ray’s, but the man has mettle and that’s a far harder thing to learn.
