Maybe they had knowledge of plants that would draw the pus or perhaps they used a needle made from bone to lance it? (... I wonder what the incidence of tetanus was in those days? :eek: ) Do you think natural selection meant that surviving folk were more resilient in those days? Another...

thanks for that Nick, it's always good to know of good book stores too :)

Cheers arctic hobo :)

Thanks. This is all good advice and I value it as I realise it comes from experience. I'm more scared of cougars having never eye-balled a cougar. We saw bears while horseriding in the Rockies back in `89 and were told then the biggest issues with bears were (A) food and (B) accidentally...

Many thanks for sound advice to date :) - while (my) relative ignorance could breed fear or mistakes, good counsel does not deter me, though I'm first in line for holding the bears and cats in highest respect - WE will be guests on THEIR home patch. I hadn't thought about differant...

I've put it in my diary already! I imagine more time = more fun :o):

Thanks for such a warm welcome from you all :You_Rock_

Hello to you all, Having read some of the chat, I thought it high time to (a) subscribe and (b) introduce myself. I’m a relative newbie to Bushcraft and to this site (so forgive me if I seem slow in coming forward and I’ll try really hard not to ask any silly or previously-asked...
