As far as I know they still do, but at the same time they offer even 'drop in' mental health care, where all there was in my day was booze and the padre.

Back in the day mental health comprised of being encouraged to hit the booze, a practice of which post service was deleteriously continued by many for some to end up living on the streets. That said I for one am pleased the military is at last taking mental health seriously, for not only can it...

Yeah the bill hook is a rather good lopper, I have an old Brades Shropshire pattern hook that has seen some hefty woodland use, and wow stunning for battening.

Green light, green air and green backdrop, bush crafting as a form of forest bathing as I explained to my therapist. To tell them I was aware the EMDR therapy I am undergoing was inspired by woodland walking, to which they agreed to tell me they support my bush crafting through being both aware...

Alas due to fact that the end of last summer I did god knows what to my hip all plans for the forthcoming year are sort of on hold until I can sort the hip out. So I guess despite saying all my plans are on hold, sorting my hip out to regain pain free full mobility forms a plan.

Surely in order to define an authoritative definition one has to first establish an authority to be in a position to define?

Quite right I don't have to answer that question but seeing as I have indicated a problem, folk might be interested in helping me resolve, I think it best I do answer as otherwise the problem without answer will persist. Now maybe I am overthinking it as I am prone to do but my problem is I...
