That's right ladies and gentlemen, I must need my bloody head examining because I've agreed to the next installment of my masochistic no gear challenges.
This time there are some twists.
1. This is 4 nights and being dropped off at dusk to make it harder.
2. This will be in an unfamiliar location not land I know and have hunted
3. It will be during Autumn, much lower temperatures involved.
4.I will be wearing trainers not Dr martens, apparently they're outdoor boots -_-
5. I'm looking into the legality of natural traps and if they're legal in any way. No snares.
6. No jacket this time, just shirt/jumper and jeans.
Any suggestions of what to brush up on for this challenge? Im learning to twist cordage. Anything that's going to be plentiful food wise early october? Looking at our fine foraging community for this one. Any general hints and tips gratefully received and thank you all for your encouragement and for laughing at my misfortune with weather last time (looking at you dewi!)it really kept up my spirits and know I can expect similar encouragement and humor from this open asylum we call home!
I found your last report very entertaining also... & as somebody else commented I also imagined Wilson to be somewhat larger than he is... one of those little Dictaphone recorders would be ideal for notes... I look forward to reading your next report At the risk of sounding like Granddad can I just say I am inclined to agree with you & yes you do need therapy for your head.... I am absolutely not doubting your skill set & You will know your own limits... you don't actually say who is setting the twists if its you or your mates? & I am only speculating here but I am thinking giving your mates cart blanch over your fate is a risky business at best as your mates may well prefer to see you tortured rather than challenge your ability just for their own entertainment... deliberately placing yourself in extreme fool hardy situations is one thing safety has to rule over stupidity in any challenge. After all It's a given that real survival life or death situations aren't much fun but there has to be some element of enjoyment in it for you... so keep us posted looking forward to your trip report & keep it real stay safe...
