People to Interview

[Tony]

Hi Guys,

I hope this doesn't put anyone nose out of joint, but there are lot of men mentioned in the list above.

Regards,
James

No noses to put out of joint, it's a very fair point :biggthump

Lets have some suggestions then.....This is going to be the year of Interviews ):

How about Steve Irwins' Wife.

The first question should be why?

what abouy Mrs Mears. that could be an interesting point of view on this habbit

 

[Viking]

An interwiev with "Lars Fält" would be interesting. Why not a couple of shorter interwievs with som of the guys at the forum, like Gary, Stuart hoodoo and the others =)

How about John 'lofty' Wiseman the ex-sas senior survival instructor.

His survival book has been my handiest means of information for the last few years. I believe you can contact him through his agent at Proactive Limited, however im not entirely sure he will talk to us mere civvies!

How about some of the not so famous instructors, leaders and company founders, ie: the "ones who walk the walk and not talk the talk" who teach survival and bushcraft courses, in particular the ones who do it full time and not just as a weekend extra - there are not that many who fall into this bracket Some have already been mentioned on this forum.

I like the Mrs Mears idea, this may sound stupid, but is Mrs Mears Rachel?
I see in his aknowledgements "and most of all to rachel, without Rachels strength and support this book would never have been made" or something like that.

? :?:

at the risk of being a bit contraversial, it might be worth interviewing mike jarmain of cambrian survival. after the reports from his talks at the outdoor show, perhaps it might be worth getting him to clarify a few points. i did a course with them last year. it was excellent.

cheers, and.

I'm glad that you enjoyed your course with Cambrian Survival, some people that I've spoken to with some experience of being outdoors have been less than impressed. I have to say that I haven't been on a course with Cambrian, so I hope that I'm not being unfair here, but his talks at the Outdoors Show gave me the feeling that the syllabus is nothing much more than what could be self taught by reading a couple of Lofty Wiseman and Ray Mears' books and getting the videos in for a night.

:-? :-? :sword:

Got to disagree with you here.

Were you at the same talk as I was ? I thought it was not only really intereting but reinforced how important the little things are.
As for the courses, my only course to date has been with Cambrian and I must agree with Sargey ... it was excellent. Basically it 'did what it said on the tin'. I know that everyone has a different opinion but if somebody wasn't impressed with the course, what were they there to learn ? I went to learn survival skills and that's what I came away with. I hope to go travelling in about a year's time and I think the course will be of benefit to me.

Did anybody else hear the talk ? What did you make of it ?

You have probably had more than enough suggestions on this, but what about Eddie McGee, he wrote a couple of books including No Need To Die and was famously involved with tracking down a serial killer in the U.K.

With ref to James'/Tony's posts, there must be some female outdoor experts. Does anyone know any women course instructors?
