I don't get it. I'm single but go on loads of dates but they never seem to want a second. I always make sure I've shaved the month before and wear my best army surplus lightweights with my Mora dangling proud. Maybe she doesn't enjoy the scent of woodsmoke as much as Davidoff Cool Water cologne?

HWMBLT still wonders how the hang I ended up modding a bushcraft forum :D
My knifage collection is just a touch disconcerting (my sons have said that when I croak it that they're praying there's still an amnesty :yikes:) and you wouldn't believe the stick I got when my parachute arrived :rolleyes:

cheers,
M

I only have myself to worry about.... Hence being on here at stupid o'clock brams....

With a meet at stupid o'clock in the morning!

Still, the woods is as good as any place for a hangover :)

Cheers!

Biker, what other half?

Well I just assumed, but I'm guessing a girl like you is a rare thing anyway, at least on a forum like this. Once you do hunt a likely vistom down and nail him to the floor, just make sure you don't nag him narrow about how he does the washing up or that he never does the ironing correctly or that he's always leaving his knitting in the most stupid places and no his bum doesn't look big in those trousers. :lmao:

I don't get stick for being on here but she does have a grumble about me buggering off to Scotland every month :)

She's quite outdoorsy so comes on a lot of day trips with me, she won't do camping though unless there's proper toilets, hot showers and a hair dryer, oh and somewhere to plug her hair straighteners in :)


i fitted slave batteries and a 500w invertor / solar/ split charger to the pick up,..

sort of took away all her excuses,....

i drew the line at a 50 inch plasma tho,...

im lucky...my missus grew up on a farm so can ident wild edibles and native wildlife better than i can! However, she draws the line at nights out in the woods...nowhere to plug her straighteners in!! that being said, she buys me lots of bushy stuff...but on a weekend i have to "sneak" glances at the Blackberry Bushcraft group as apparently i spend too much time on there...oops! i blame raikey and southey!!

DONT STOP ME!!
