2000 post competition

[Man of Tanith]

blimey this one came about faster than the 1000 post competition

so the question

what is my unfulfilled ambition within bushcraft?

there is a serious answer to this question but i am also willing to consider the most amusing or one i've not even thought of.

now for the prize
i have a surplus copy of this book joe o'learys wilderness survival guide
edit to add- there may well be other prizes on offer as well or instead of the above book

i shall let this competition run for 4 days so winner will be posted thursday morning.(depending on what i am working etc)

all i can say is thanks for having me here and putting up with some of my stupid questions, hopefully i have given some back to the site and i look forward to the next 1000 posts.

thanks muchly
Sam
