Does the bag contain…. a stable worm hole that leads to a parallel universe exactly like our own , to a parallel planet exactly like our own that is the same in everything apart from some time ago Science and Religion has fused into a Ultra hard line extreme society where Bushcraft has been outlawed.

Raymond Mears for his dark art practices caused an international man hunt after he escaped the Group four security team that were holding him after capturing him on his 15th Birthday , during a daring escape in which he managed to scale the prison walls using nothing more then a Rope formed from his own eyebrow hair and a Grappling Hook fashioned out of discarded Toe Nails clipping from the prison shower system combined with a earwax and dirt pitch glue

He led a life on the run for the next seven years moving amongst the dwindling hedgerows and copses of Britain , after a period the Young Ray found a minority of people from the urban jungle who wanted to learn from him and disconnected themselves from the Consumer Hard line , Ray was hard to track down but perseverance and determination led many to find him in the shady and forgotten underworld of the Britain. Ray had to disguise himself and took to wearing a long Fjallraven cloak with Hood in a neutral ( but flattering to his eyes ) colour , word spread among the self chosen outcasts and disillusioned apart this man of the woods teaching the dark art of Bush Craft , and as legends are born , over time ‘Ray In The Woods’ became ‘Ray In Hood’ ( Groan…) or simply Rayin Hood.

He taught the happy disciples the principles of the Almighty BushCraft God MORS as handed down to his prophets Lofty of the Wise , Eddie of The MacGii ( 2ND groan…) and Chris of Caine-en. These prophets taught Ray well and Ray , as per the Bush Craft way passed on the knowledge of Plant lore , Fire Lore , Water Lore but his true passion was of WOOD LORE and which gave him his biggest return.

He taught the disciples knife making , shelter building , fire by friction , water purification, primitive navigation and plant identification , he even went as far as to record his teachings onto books made of cedar strips and charcoal which were passed amongst disciple to disciple and what started as a rag tag outfit of misfits became with time a small army with many notable individuals arising to become living embodiments of Bushcraft
Patrick of Northern Backwoods , Gary of the Bearclaw tribe , Joseph the Leary , Ogri the mad Monk of Wales , Johnny of the Crocketts and many more rose from students to teachers to push on the Bush Knowledge to new students.

There were also false pretenders , who like wolves in sheep skins wished to pass themselves off as Givers of Knowledge the most notable and darkest of these was Bear of the Grylls , his notoriety soon bloomed , he performed dangerously public acts or according to him ‘miracles’ , drinking from the stomach of a camel , turning a rancid sheep into a sleeping bag .
Across the water David of Canterbury was seen to self suture himself as and act of his greatness and performed acts of slef inflicted stupidity.
All these exploits started to taint bushcraft as the public could not determine which was bush craft and which was not?

Ray getting older now , started to make mistakes and the manhunt for him had narrowed the search zone down as he had selflessly elected to stay in one place and teach rather then keep moving and performing evasive tactics.
The authorities managed to surround him and Ray held a defensive position on top of a small hillock , the authorities warned him that in morning they were going to storm the hill and

once caught he was going to be placed in the stocks outside of Bucky palace where the Queen would come out each day and smack his bum for being a bad boy.

Ray chose not to be caught , and during the course of the night managed to weave a wicker and hazel man sized coffin around himself just as his friend the little caterpillar had shown him how , as the 1st light of morning broke through and as the police , army and Panzers ( why not?!…) moved up the hill the chunky yet plucky and defiant Ray using just the power of his top lip and left nostril created fire using the notoriously difficult mud-on-stone technique of firelighting , thus choosing to immolate himself as a protest and become the 1st martyr of Bushcraft.

Prize goes to TeeDee, not because he was right, but because he was most wrong.
