Ditch Monkey

[archiet]

Hey there,

Anyone following the Ditchmonkey? He's some city guy who has decided to live in the woods for a year. He goes to work and lives his usual social life but instead of going home just finds somewhere to curl up in the woods. All his possessions are in one rucksack.

He has a blog here: http://ditchmonkey.blogspot.com/

It's interesting.

Yes, I think a few of us are. It was discussed a bit on [thread=7890]this thread[/thread].

Hi there archiet,

Yes Bardster posted a link to the Blog on 5th September following an article in the Observer on the 4th:
http://observer.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,6903,1562293,00.html

His thread was entitled Bushcrafting the hard way....
Its a great blog - very funny - and a great way to get publicity for what is a very serious issue.

I can't help thinking that if someone showed him how to tie up a tarp and hammock he'd be a whole lot more comfortable !

Someone has already pointed him over to this forum, so I'm sure he'll pick up some tips.

I've emailed the guy - inviting him to drop by sometime.
