The tensionless hitch sometimes know as the no-knot. It does not reduce the strength of the rope/cord/line at all and is as easy to tie as wrapping the rope around whatever you want to connect to. Knots often end up as a swinging **** contest to see who can tie the best/fanciest/most...

Try the insanity workout, that is 60 days and gets you in brilliant shape (it is hard work!). The first time I did it I dropped 5 mins off my 10K time and got a six pack back. Every 2 weeks you do a fitness test to track your improvement but you can feel and see the difference. I love it as...

You hit the nail on the head there Ross. That is the point I am trying to make - the immediate write off of a product or TV program just because of the person associated with it, not from buying or trying first. I fully understand that he irritates people for various reasons and I do not hold...

Another good one is Robinsons Barley Water squash bottles, they are really think and last well.

I don't care about him or his shows, but find it a bit sad when I read a post on here where someone put what they bought as a newbie purchase and most of the replies all slated his choice in knives because he bought a Gerber knife with BG on it. The general trend for the comments were "I wont...

I have been out of circulation for a while and checking back on here there seems to be more anti Bear Grylls sentiment than ever before. Really it is almost comical but also slightly worrying that because someone does things on TV for entertainment he catches a serious amount of flack from...

I find it really sad that people automatically slate a product because of a name associated with it.

I go for easy prep stuff if I am walking lots (not got into the biking bit yet but planning on it) so that when I am tired you don't have to do much. I like cooking but after a days slog its not top of my list. Stuff like Ainsley Harriets couscous as its just add water or look what we found...

Having given it a bit more thought, the kit that even surpasses Tarzan for saving lives is Money: It provides you with food, clothing and shelter on a daily basis It provides medicen (taxes or direct purchase of drugs,dressings,etc) It buys your survival equipment (knife, GPS, life jacket...

-9 would not be a problem, just a add a few of his spare loin cloths to give more coverage (using the sunday best loin cloth as a hat as it woudl be less smelly due to few days use. Polar bears - he is Tarzan and can tackle any animal in a dramatic wrestle in any given environment, if he can...

Tarzan. He can wrestle any wild animal, has a massive knife and can communicate via yodels that travel for miles. In any given survival situatuion he can call up an animal for either transport, eatting or clothing and you can always watch him fight them in the most dramatic fasion for...

I'd like to see a review of them too as I may have a use for one if they are any good

Not sure if these have been mentioned on here before but I tried a few that I picked up from Morrisons - the spicy beef and thai style chicken. I don't normally do pot noodles but these looked OK and actually taste very good. Obviously the packaging can be left at home and the little folding...

I got two pairs of the Tech Trousers four years ago while in the States (it was $2:£1 at the time so could not resist). They are still going strong despite my best efforts to kill them by walking trough brambles while shooting in the green pair and using the blue pair for doing confined space...

My first thought was moss or clothing then to hold some in my mouth. Not going to have the chance to try it over 300 yards for a week or so due to travel commitments but I will see how long it takes for a litre (plus a bit of backwash wont bother buttercup as we have already snogged....)Comment...

I agree completely with what you say; lone person living off the land is not possible. I was just pointing out that all the posts of this nature seem to focus on Northern hemisphere or 'Western' countries and scooting off into the wilds - if someone is planning it and are serious why not go the...

What always strikes me when people mention this is that everyone posts about living in the UK or possibly Canada or Scandinavia but no-one mentions Africa, South America or the South Pacific. These are locations where there are large areas of rainforest/woodland and hunting would have no...

Will it be pink anodized too?

A fun challenge for you all..... Can you write a short piece to justify not using a knife in an outdoors/bushcraft situation without someone picking holes is it - now remember this is tongue in cheek so give it a blast. :D

Was it the campsite owners that asked you to run the course or have you decided to run the course and they have given you permission to use their site? If it was the former then you are a volunteer or sub contractor if they pay you (even if only to cover your costs). In that instance the...
