In the past, mostly catfish, have not had the opportunity to do any fishing for a while, though I am thinking of stocking Cattail Pond with Redfin. Keith.

I do miss South Wales, but now I am in New South Wales so it is not too bad :) Keith.

As a land owner myself Al88b, rather than write a letter, I suggest you front up to the land owner in person. Do NOT front up wearing camo, & do NOT wear a knife. Just ordinary clothing. Best of luck. Regards, Keith.

I guess it is like many other interests, different people interpret them in different ways. I was born in the West Sussex countryside in an 18th century farm house. I have always felt that I was just another animal & I belonged to the natural environment. I started with really primitive methods...

Good post champ. This is my angling tackle, linen lines & cold forged hooks with sinew leaders. In the past I have also enjoyed making my own line & gorge hooks. Can you show us some of your own tackle champ? Keith.

There is always some risk of something when wild camping S, probably more so for me here than there was for me when I lived in West Sussex in the UK, but we do it anyway. Like you I just use an oil cloth shelter, & I make a bed of sticks to get me off the ground. I clear a good area around where...

Well firstly well done Greg. I know you chaps are not really into survival & that Bushcraft is totally different, but I really think that you would be far better off learning & practicing more sustainable primitive methods, especially concerning making fire. Woodsmen & woods women did not use...

I would have concerns regarding moisture being trapped between the layers Herman. Personally I would use the wool material to make a capot or other clothing for winter. Regards, Keith.

Yes I just checked & can't see my reply. If I remember correctly, it was: Gun 3kg. Shot pouch 1kg. Knapsack 9kgs. Keith.

Thank you for the feedback Tony, appreciated. Regards, Keith.

I recieved one email from you, & I copied the email & replied to your home page as I could not find it on my pm page. I hope you recieved it okay. Keith.

If you don't mind me asking Nice65, where in West Sussex are you? I was born in Bognor Regis. Regards, Keith.
