Anybody got a spare map of the "Pseudo-Outdoors"? I feel an urge to visit the place
I know a few who occupy the "Pseud" outdoors, perhaps they know the way?

Yes, I know a few as well; and in the light of that thought, I've lost the urge to visit completely
I get the impression it's less tree hugger, more Broke Back Mountain!
I do a lot of cycling, this has now turned into a 'scene', with bike messengers spawning a whole raft of would be's or 'Fakengers' as they are known. Also the bearded fixed gear riding 'Hipsters' all the beards that have taken 3 hours to sculpt into an unsculpted style! It was always going to come to the great outdoors too!
Sort of idiots who have a tantrum when people "cut down a healthy tree"
AKA Pillocks.
That's a bit of a sweeping generalisation.
They're the same people who will camp out in trees to stop an ancient woodland being felled to make way for a shopping centre. We need people like that, if only to act as an offset to the "me" centric hyper capitalists that seem to be so prevalent these days. Tree huggers are far more preferable than hedge fund managers in my mind. Pillocks or no.
your on a bushcraft site and your against people who are against cutting down healthy trees?? incredible!!!
Speaking as an Ex forester I've cut down thousands of "healthy trees" I've also planted hundreds of thousand of new ones. There's nothing wrong with cutting down healthy trees for a reason. But we found we were damned by folk who didn't know what they were talking about whether we planted them or cut them.
Yes indeed I am. I cut down healthy tress regularly. I log them up and heat my home with them and I cook with them having seasoned them. I remove them because they are weed trees (e.g. elder which self seeds all over), sycamore, blackthorn suckers etc. In their place I plant important conservation species (True Service trees, hornbeam, Wild service, etc.).
I'm sure less biodiversity, less important habitats and more pollution from using commercial energy suit some but that doesn't suit me.
It may be "incredible" to you, but to me, being a steward of the land, means managing the land, improving it, working with it and gaining what I need (including fuel) from it - in a sustainable way.
How do you heat your home?
