I happened to watch that yesterday, so this is an interesting thread. I like DC & have learned a lot from him as he has a wide & broad skill set. I can understand that people who have served their country in the armed forces have a right to get angry about this, but for the rest of us it's just someone who got caught lying on their CV. AS he said he signed up for 2 seasons, did 2 seasons & then did not get extended, partly (but not entirely) because of what was on his CV. I bet there were other reasons within the production company. It also looks like someone in TV land had an axe to grind given the way that this 'story' has leaked out so widely on the internet. He has apologised & Ithink it is time to move on. I liked the first 2 series of DS & will have a look at season 3, but several people say that it is not as good. At the end of the day you have to remember that this is Television; what you see is often not what it appears to be.
Like I said I still have a lot of time for the man, as with all these Bushcraft TV celebs it's the skills & they way they think, not the man, that is the important bit. I really like the way he approaches Bushcraft mentally, how he selects kit (like his FARMD philosophy) etc.. Shame this happened but we have probably all done stupid things in the past.
