    The Island With Bear Grylls

    Yep I agree with you I watched it with my 15 year old daughter and it was good entertainment and thats what it is meant to be .Reality would always be a lot different and filming it would be considered inhumane.That snake would have been good protein by day 3 I would be eying up the old copper lol

    Wild Potatoes?

    A few hundred ! That is a tattie field try 4 or 5 and see what happens If the soils deep enough my guess is they will grow Watch out for Badgers though. I bet they love a tuber or two

    Golite Ultra 20 top quilt/ hiking quilt Regular BNWT

    I doubt you would want a full length mat Mr W. If you are going to this length to save weight Gotta be a 3/4 length lightweight mat to compliment the weight savings IMHO, I have toyed with the idea but don't have the guts to take the plunge so compromise is my answer
