Bushcraft beards

[demographic]

Beards? You lot need the warmth of a beard? Pah, softies. Must be from down south* are you?
Next you'll be telling me you all have knives and all you can think of doing with them is make endless amounts of spoons and that you actually own an umbrella.

I'm just nipping out to the offy for a few beers, do you want me to pick some Bass Shandy and 20 Silk Cut up for you?













*Anywhere south of Shap is actually "South" by the way.

Anything north of the M4 is the Scottish borders!

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!

That sounds about it, thanks very much.

Hmmm, proper hard men need no hair at all on the swede facial or otherwise, and generally come from down South, not above Watford that's for sure... [Yawns]...
