Ok, here's a competition open to people who've joined BCUK in 2007 or have less than 50 posts at the time they answer the questions.
You'll have to use tracking and foraging skills to find the info. I guarantee you'll find it all on BCUK, although not all of it is in the forums
. I do have a bit of a devious mind so you'll need to use some lateral thinking. Jodie's advice on this thread might come in handy but some browsing of stickies will probably help too.
Prize? A book which I didn't manage to sell, but I reckon will be useful for the winner: The Survival Handbook: Learn the survival skills of the world's elite forces by Peter Darman.
1) We've all got oil on the side of our nose, what do bushcrafters use it for, and why?
2) Which British tree is reckoned to be the best for making cord, and what do we call the rather odiferous stage needed to process the raw materials?
3) According to bushcraft lore, what tree might perform royally, and why?
4)You're lost, or in some other crisis out in the wilds, what's the best advice you'll find on BCUK to help you survive. The answer may give you a bit of a surprise!
5) What kind of feather might be very useful in performing the answer to question 4?
6) What law specifically governs the foraging of wild plants?
Please post a quick hello on this thread if you're going to be taking part, so I know whether there is any interest
Over to you.. first to post the answers wins the book
