First let me say, I like you Brits, Irishmen and the others who post on this forum which is very good. I live in the Northwest corner of the United States about 90 miles south of British Columbia, Canada. I live on five acres of land but am within a few miles of 1000's of acres of national forests. I feel guilty about not being out there every chance I have especially when I read what you people are doing. Your posts and photographs are wonderful and have given me some ideas.
When I see what you are paying for gear, it seems extremely expensive. Also I find it strange that you have to be concerned with the length of a knife blade due to government regulations. Plus I sense that owning a gun is out of the question. I am usually carrying a .22 pistol when prowling the woods. Not that I need it but it's just part of woodcraft here.
Wish I had something useful to add to the forum. Oh by the way, my mother was English. Born and raised in Bradford. I watch "Last of the Summer Wine" every chance I get in order to enjoy the Yorkshire scenery. Is there any place in England or Ireland still so peaceful? Again, just wanted to say hello and thank you for your great posts and useful information. John Lee
