I am sure that the quality of the PatrickM tutorials has been noticed by all. It would be a real shame for these to just disappear of the front page of the forums as more posts come along. Can someone ask Patrick if these can be incorporated into the main site?

...Never mind keeping his work to this forum, Patrick could make a fortune publishing them in a book or on CD.

I for one would pay for a copy to use at my convenience. ;)

I agree entirely Ogri - the quality and detail of these tutorials is arguably better than anything we see in print or on TV and it would be nice to think Patrick received some reward for sharing his skills with others.

Here here!

I couldnt agree more.

I've been blown away by every single tutorial I've seen.

With Patrick’s permission, it wouldn't be difficult to collect them together into a PDF document.

When they are all on the front page in a few weeks you can just print them off when you want to follow them and the front page will automatically be updated every time Patrick adds a new article. That’s what its there for

...Never mind keeping his work to this forum, Patrick could make a fortune publishing them in a book or on CD.

He could indeed but this forum is all about providing knowledge to people for free.
This knowledge is after all mankind’s legacy and should be available to everyone.

Think of this place as a library, not a bookshop

Would you really want to share your living room with this ???

- Does anyone have a good tutorial on how to make a toothbrush ?

But seriously folks, you're making me blush here. Your comments are very kind,
but as Stuart has said, articles posted here are for free use by all.


To be honest, I'm probably more suited to the backwoods than your goggle box !

Patrick and Stuart,
I accept your comments about sharing knowledge. I was, by my post, letting you know that knowledge of such value should not be treated lightly.
Sometimes it seems as though our vote of thanks are barely enough.

We are indebted to you Patrick, thank you.

.I wouldn't bother brushing those teeth Patrick, just grind them down on a stone or get them pulled and make arrowheads.

I don't altogether agree with that. When I wanted to find out about the various foods that I could eat from the wilds I stumped out my hard earned cash for Richard Mabeys "Food for Free". He was right, the food is for free.... but I had to buy the book to find that out. And that wasn't free!

A mate of mine attended a Ray Mears talk and afterwards went up to ask him a question. The reply was "come on a course and you will find out". In other words, it'll cost you (mankind's legacy .. ££££). I dont think so

We all live in the real world and people make a living out of selling information and knowledge based skills but it is a credit to people like Patrick and other people on this site who share this with us for free

I for one, wish to thank them and this site for that
