    Follow the sheeple or head for the hills?

    That's 4000 times the thread has been opened to look at (or even to make one of the 293 posts), not necessarilly 4000 different different people reading it. I must have opened it up at least 25-30 times myself, just to see what had been written now this time...

    What got you into bushcraft and your best time in the woods

    I agree. Lying in my hammock, listening to the rain fall on my tarp is a real pleasure; and lulls me to sleep... Over and above that, me & AndyN tracking deer on the Sunday morning of the Christmas moot last year - frost on the ground, a crispness in the air, and the satisfaction of putting...

    "What do you mean 'it's brown'? of COURSE it's brown! Water's naturally brown, innit? It's only when THEY put all those chemicals they don't want you to know about in that it turns clear..." Did you manage to get a lift down to the moot, Eric?

    Follow the sheeple or head for the hills?

    Eric - but surely there's a contradiction in there. At the beginning you're talking about what we - "the country collectively. The local authorities, the government, the emergency services etc." can do. But at the end you say "This is possibly a direct consequence of living in a nanny state."...

    "Where do we go from here? As a civilised society I mean." I could at this point make a comment along the lines of: "What's this 'we'? YOU'RE up in the hills, not wanting anything to do with the sheeple; along with (apperantly) over 80% of the folk who took the survey..." But I won't. :D

    Follow the sheeple or head for the hills?

    Eric - I can quite see how you'd make that decision, based on your previous experiences; to be honest I'd probably be making the same choices. Maybe I'd be heading for the hills, but I'd be feeling guilty if I thought I could have been helpful, and was walking away. Supposing.... The...

    Follow the sheeple or head for the hills?

    I'd be at the school, and I'd be volunteering to help. That's what a comunity is for - right? It seems to me that that this has little to do with bushcraft (or spooncarve camping as I shall now call it :-) ) and everything to do with how people view theirs' and others' positions in society...
