I'm not talking about proper bush people, I'm talking about people who live in the modern world (have computers, 9 to 5 jobs) and do bushcraft at weekends and holidays.

    Nice to see the british & american governments can come up with just under £100 million for countries affected by the sunami. But when it comes to war they can manage to come up with billions. Nice to see where there priorities lie.

    Don't know if any of you have read the Scottish Outdoor Acess Code. I found this bit in it, and was wondering if anyone can clarify that i have read it right, and is in fact allowed. Wherever possible, use a stove rather than light an open fire. If you do wish to light an open fire, keep...
