Well the camping was great fun, the weather was great (though surprisingly cold at night). The one thing we learnt was to take account of where the nearest septic tank is...

Thanks for all the advice, I will let you know how it goes...

A couple of mates and I are heading out camping in a couple of weeks, we are all in our forties and due to family, work, etc. its been a good decade since any of us spent more than a single night out in the wilds. We have found what looks like a nice site, North Wales, camp fires allowed...

I watched both shows, found the first a tad slow, but the second, for me, was both interesting and entertaining. As someone who works in front of a computer all day and has only in the last few years started 'dabbling in the outdoors' I can fully empathize with them, when I loiter on this forum...

Sorry "loved that one too" not lived...

I really enjoyed Dual survival, although I agree Man, woman wild was better, my wife lived that one too so we could watch it together...

Got to say, that's a great deal. I already have them sadly (and the unabridged Inglis readings which are superb).

I found a 'Beanfeast' packet in the cupboard a few years back and it was over 10 years out of date ! And they last forever so heaven only knows when I bought it. On a more serious note my dad bought me a swiss army knife when I moved out into my own home and that was about 20 years ago. It...

We have a rescued Bedlington Terrier, fantastic little dog (called Monty). Happy to laze around all day or belt about like a mad bugger, quite high prey drive though so not sure about being the perfect bushcraft dog...

Aluminium melting point is 660.37°C, I design temperature equipment and would never use even a high grade aluminium above 550°C. However the temperature of a campfire... I quote t'internet... "If you have a well made campfire burning dry hard wood, you can easily melt aluminum at ~ 660 C...

Amazing video, thanks for sharing it, leaves a real lump in the throat...

Let us not ignore the magnificent 'Grave Danger with Dave Granger', someone on this site alerted me to him, the man is a genius ! On a serious note Dave Canterbury and A-Z of Bushcraft have filled in many a quiet hour...

I think the I-Pad can use any i-phone apps (apologies if I have this wrong, I have an i-phone 4 but no i-pad). I love Birds of Britain (the feathered type), Trees of Britain, star3map and (as stated above) SAS Survival (although I only have the free 'Lite' version). You can't go wrong with...

I get the impression he has done that a few times before... pretty impressive.

Hope this is still available, PM sent.

That is stunning, it deserves to be in an art gallery...

Maybe that's why I only notice the similarity during the night-vision parts, i.e. when she is holding the camera ;)

Thanks for the reply Bilgerat, I was starting to think it was just me who saw the similarities... When they show night vision the similarities are startling.

Has anyone else noticed that when man (Mykel Hawke) is viewed at night he turns into Jim Dale from the Carry On movies...

So sorry to hear of your wife Dianne's passing away, it brought a tear to my eye this morning reading your post. My father died in January (he had retired in Thailand so it took nearly a day for the news to reach us) and that was a shock but I can't even imagine losing my wife. I hope you, your...
