My border collie all the way, as inquisitive as he is, as soon as the word is said hes back by my side. And he can sniff out wood sorrel for a quick snack! Stu

Well I'm 16 and in Harrogate aswell! Where abouts do you normally practise bushcraft Ark Angel? Dirty Karlos this place sounds good. I'll pm you if i can't find anywhere good soon. 35 is young enough hehe :lmao:

Hmmm I'll take your advice. I think I'll check Stainburn Forest out and I'm sure theres a scout camp somewhere nearby. Thanks anyway.

Just looking on the map now, i've spotted stainburn forest. Anyone had any experience there? I know it's quite popular with cyclists.

Hi EdS, what are Calverley woods like for sleeping in? By "the woods down the road" do you mean the Priesthrope ones or the Round Wood ones? Thanks for the info :)

Yes they would, I for one would not be here right now as it was one of his tv shows that got me into bushcraft. Can't imagine him as a squaddie though . . . :lmao:

Where abouts is it mate? Thanks for the reply :)

Haha yeh I always get asked if I'm from the nearby Army Foundation College. I often look up to see a startled face as I trunch past with my kit.

Never knew he wanted to join the Royal Marines. Thanks for that, it was really insteresting. :)

My own bit of woodland. . .aaaahhhhh. And a Snugpak Sleeper Lite sleeping bag.

I used to have the Viper South African Assualt Vest but sold it to buy plce yoke webbing as it is alot more comfy to wear with a rucksack and you can actually reach all the pouches with dislocating your shoulder lol.

As the woods I used to go quite happily to has now been completely trashed by (for want of a better name that could not possibly be expressed on these forums) drunken vandals ,which will take me months to clear up, I am now in search of a new place to practise bushcraft. Does anyone know of any...

I agree, I'm on a very low budget and I find that army surplus is dirt cheap and extremely durable and tough-also great for not being seen lol. I use the yoke system on large expeditions to keep things that I need at hand close to my body. It cost less that £15 all together and it's great!

Ahhhhh an extremely good point. Thanks for the help. My bad, sorry about that. Stu

I think its 83 degress celsius or something. Dont quote me on it but I'm a kitchen assistant and thats what I have to re-heat all foods back up to to be served. Stu.

Thanks alot for the help, I'll take them into account when I'm next out and about.

Managed to get out and was snowing quite heavily at some points. Very difficult to light my fire and it kept on going out. But a good experience all the same. . . Quite new to bushcraft so tips and comments on camp set-up well appreciated.

Lol yeh did not seem like 2 and a half hours at all, my mind was fixed on him throughout. Amazing stories and he wasn't boring either, plenty of jokes. He's a great speaker.

Hi fellow bushcrafters, Went to see Ray Mears on Monday Night, one word to describe-Awesome. Highly recommendable and he even signed my book and shook my hand. His Legend status was confirmed. Tickets only £17.50 or something which I thought was an excellant price! He's touring the...
