nae just beards. always grow your own rope......
i shaved all mine off earlier this year, but i braided it all first so that i can process it into string at some point, i quite like the idea of a human hair bowstring but don't really think that my string making skills are up to it. you're right though, a good head of hair (of a decent length) is a great supply of cordage, and in your case quite possibly a little beeswax too
as for beards, sandbender's got it spot on, let it grow through the winter then shave it off in spring. the same approach has worked for me for some time now
Yarr! If one insists on facial hair a well groomed moustache is a must. Great photo Undolpho. I'll play too, a post Movember pugilistic pose just before a heathen got a damn good thrashing for good measure;

Facial fur, can you have one if you are a Colour Sergeant?
Or Scottish...
Edited to add...
Or driving about behind enemy lines...
This has now gone. Replaced by a steadily growing chin piece.

Ok here goes This is a recent picture of me with added facial hair, I had been very ill so the picture does not do me credit.
Shaved mine off after 25yrs, when i realised i had more hair on my face than on my head.
There was a rank in the army that could have a beard, i think something to do with blacksmithing ?, i'll ask my son when he comes home tonight, he's RMP so should know who he can "nick" for it !.

I think it's sergeant farriers in cavalry regiments who can have "full sets" - they also carry ruddy great axes to dispatch wounded horses. Bears and axes - sounds like some bushcrafters!
