i am a CI with this mob, smallest county in the country, i have been running survival training lessons this summer, and they went down realy well, i think the other staf got confused with what i was trying to do and wanted us to cam up , i think they thought it was escape and evasion, all sorted now , we had a weekend camp a couple of weeks ago, and i was pleased that several cadets used basha's instead of tents, i always say you cant keep a good poncho down yours Den

I have been with the ATC for some time now, i have been passing on knowlegde to the cadets in snippets over the years, here in Norfolk there are restrictions with good old red tape to taking them in the field and using the ways and means act you can get round it.
A night showing them how to skin rabbits
A night how to purify water
the list goes on.

Apparently we'll have less red tape by the end of the year - ACP16 is to be published and their is to be a loosening of AT restrictions in some areas... although probably not mine

 

[Damascus]

When I see it I will believe it, till then just trim the red tape

Damascus/Batfink,

Trim it but don't dare cut it!

ACP 16, they make promises, but can rarely keep to the time schedules, I was told eight years ago that the official web-site would be full of useful info for staff and cadets alike, but you try finding out how to pack a rucksack and you will fall down. The whole ACP syllabus was only produced in loose leaf a few years back and apparently they haven't worked out how to transfer the stuff onto the wbe pages.

No wonder kids play computer games, all the info is there for them. Unfortunately they find the games more interesting than getting out in the fresh air and enjoying themselves.

Has anyone done a survey on this site to find out how many of the under 21's are intersted in Bushcraft and the etcetera's
