This is part of the film Crossroads and at the endSteve Vai and the person who played the Karate Kid have a guitar duel. This just makes you think how could you ever get that good?! Another one is Robert Johnson, he playes both rhythm and lead guitar at the same time, amaizing!

I'm glad I'm not alone, some of you have described the exact same thing as what I experienced. Great, now I'm going to be looking out for this when I'm in Shotover next! And I'll probably trick myself into seeing it.

I was in the woods the other day (Stratfield Brake for anyone who knows the Oxford area) and I felt really uncomfortable. I was walking through this small piece of woodland and it felt as if something was watching and following me, I'm sure you know the felling. I find this strange because...

I usually have my SAK on me, except when I'm going to use the train or going to an airport or pub. I also carry a lighter, even though I don't smoke, although it is usually used to light other people's fags. At one point I started carrying my fire steel in my pocket but not only is a lighter...

It depends on what trees you have in your area, but around where I live it is mostly ash and willow so one of the first things I tried was making willow cordage. Even before I got my trangia and was able to boil the cordage it was a great challenge to get long enough pieces of bark without...

Well done, :You_Rock_ judging by the wealth of information you have I'm supprised it took you that long!

I only took one, rather fuzzy picture with my cameraphone when we were on the plant walk in Shotover. I would have taken more but forgot or had my hands full of smoldering hay!

Looks like I'm the first to say thanks to Nick and everyone else who made today enjoyable. I learnt loads about plant IDing and the bowdrilling was a great reminder, thanks!

Actually, what Hunter Gatherer said made me think, If I was to go on holiday and bought a knife (seeing as how everything is cheeper outside of Britain this is possiable!) can I bring it back on a plane? Obvoiously not in my hand lugage, I've seen people have battery powered electric fans...

i am definatly coming.

I should be able to make it on Sunday 14th too.

I would also be up for plant IDing as I know almost nothing about it, depending on place and date, of course.

I got it once just after the course you did, but I haven't done it for a while. Hope I don't loose it! :eek:

I think that I would miss having a nice warm bath every day, I can't go for more than a couple of days without feeling uncomfortable and sticky.

THe list at the bottom of that page is really useful, thanks FallingRain!

How about Willow, does anyone know how that burns? That is the main type of tree where I go for bushcrafting.

I'll start trying to find the bits I need for that when I get back off holiday next sunday. Thanks All,

Thanks for your views guys. Toddy, it would be difficult to secure teeth into a piece of wood, perhaps I should do a little research. To Google!!!!

Today I was making a spoon and got a little trigger happy with the knife, so another spoon for the scrap pile. Then I started wondering if it was possiable to drill holes using a bow drill. I realised that a normal piece of wood would take hours to drill a hole with so I took a piece of...

I miss accidently coming accross animals while walking around, it's an experience which you can neither find nor re-create anywhere else.
