Hi Chaps. This is my 1st post on this part of the forum. I got a great book for christmas off my wife (even if i did spot it and demand it myself!) 'The Natural History of the British Isles' by M&P Briggs. It's a fantastic and easy to read book although large and heavy. I got it for £5...

Hi Guys and other halfs I've not been on the site for a while and I need more inspiration. For those of you that haven't heard of me, last year I posted a new topic called 'new, disillusioned and lonely'. I was made to feel very welcome and was given many words of encouragement. I still...

Have always boiled water... saves the expense of buying purifiers... :wink:

Hi to all of you that don't know of me, big hi again to all that do know of me and the encouragement you've given previously. I still haven't been out to enjoy any pleasures of learning bushcraft for various reasons....and I need to chill! I am really looking forward and hoping that I will...

I've been busy absorbing info and just getting round to this post....I'm in desperate need to learn about wildfoods,game etc..the hows, what's and dangers etc but I quite fancy the thought of a mixed grill of smoked pheasant, rabbit and fish with some mushrooms and chestnuts washed down with (a...

good point Ally I suppose I could only make the distinction that ex mils built up a certain kind of relationship based almost on 24/7 working/training/fighting/drinking/operational duties/adventure growing together from young soldiers into responsible commanders, in most cases. When you leave...

Bailley's and whisky in coffee 'round a campfire someday soon then :lol:

interesting! certainly makes you pause for thought! probably a good test of strength & character. imagine living with them for one year and then coming back home to settle into 'normality' again.

I agree that the CR prog is entertainment value alone. It won't be often that many of us would end up in an environment where escape and evation will be the key to survival or that we would be pursued relentlessly by a horde of enemy! Survival in these circumstances would of course rely on...

I don't mean to make fun of the big cat issue Just that when I was about 10, we were playing in our village when the rumour spread about something big roaming the locality. Suddenly people from all backgrounds, teachers, children, parents etc all descended on a small copse in our primary school...
