    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

    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.

    Persuade me to go light?!

    The old adage is that any fool can be uncomfortable. Going light can be expensive. Cutting weight from your body and becoming stronger and fitter is free. My tuppence worth is to examine yourself before your gear. It is there to support you. Are you doing your part? Optimise your own performance...

    In the news today......

    My mate has something similar at his cabin in Finland, we emerged unscathed. Though they tend to leave you alone anyway when every pore in your body is excreting cheap vodka from the night before.

    Primitive skills

    Can’t move for flint here in Sussex, usually jutting out of the ground next to a particularly slippery section of chalk path. Nothing reminds you quicker that the ground is hard and you are soft than sweet, sweet flint. I’d post you some but then they’d probably give you **** for it having...
