People to Interview

There's an interview with Ray Mears in "Country Walking" magazine this month. Not terribly in depth and certainly no suprises, being more to do with very general walking than bushcraft. Surely we could do better? Tony, is the idea for members to submit questions to you once an interviewee is selected?

 

[Tony]

I had not thought of that but it is a good idea. When interviews are arranged I will let you all know and you can chip in with questions :biggthump Good idea Jack

 

[Ed]

Tony... how are you doing the interviews? face to face... or just emailing/posting a questionaire type thing?

I'm intending on doing as much face to face as possible, if not that then over the phone.

 

[Tony]

[Ed]

My vote would be for Michael Palin. If anyone has had loads to do with indigenous folk it must be him!

Hi Everyone
I agree with Sargey. Interview Mike Jarmain,absolute top lad really knows his stuff.I went on one of his courses in April and had a great time up in the Cambrian Mountians.

If we're going to be ambitious (and why not?) , how about John 'Lofty' Wiseman, the guy who wrote the bible?

Sez

 

[Ed]

I think he is already on the list sez.... i believe tony knows lofty's sister or something..... think it was posted on the british blades forums.

Ed :-D

 

[sez]

Oh (she says, straightening up) that's alright then!

What about Michael Scott the 19 year old lad who has just escaped from kidnappers in Columbia. It's obviously to early today but when all the frenzy dies down and hopefully the other hossies get released....

Wouldn't it be good to hear how he overcame 12 days in the Sierra Nevada and be picked up by the indigenous people of the region? :roll:

I'd really like to see an interview with John Lord. he is about the only Master flintknapper in the UK. And,... very under exposed! (If anybody knows a way of getting in touch with him, please let me know...)

Regards

Hi all,i'd like to see an interview done with F.J.Taylor,i've read a couple of his books and although he has travelled the world practising survival (everything from ice fishing to rabbiting in the outback)i get the impression he is most at home as a countryman in the UK,and i've certainly picked up a few tips from his books about how to come by a free dinner or two(purse nets across field drains,long netting with a clod of earth,etc)He used to do a column for the shooting times so praps we could contact him thru there?I think he lives near Thame. Cheers Mike

His son Will Lord is also an accomplished flint knapper and has his own website. I think it's called 'Beyond 2000 BC'.

Good luck.

 

[Ed]

... is this the place? http://www.beyond2000bc.co.uk/ I guess it is.
I wish I could do that.....

[Tony]

There is an article of Will's in the article section, it's the one called Hard Work

Here is a suggestion-- RAY jARDINE -- has been one of my major inspirational characters over the last few tears , not a mainstream bushcraft writer as such but he is at the point where lightweight adventure , be it hiking, kayaking or crossing oceans meets bushcraft .

Keep your eyes and hearts open to common folks. Shepherds,tinkers,fishermen and farmers are outdoors when sane people are inside mugging up in front of the tellie. An old fisherman taught me to walk the beaches with my hands behind my back. My hands weren't blasted by sand,my coat stayed close and I walked a measured pace watching my steps.
