People ask me if I secretly wish there was a nuclear fall out so I could survive while others dont. At that point I step away slowly.
They don't understand!

it pees me off because all i get is........"who do you think you are...ray mears..?", sorry but no i think I'm me who enjoys going out into the woodlands of our country settle down with my buddies and have a good old brew and a chin wag about all those strange people who stay at home watching other people live their lives on T.V(thats my little dig at reality T.V) instead of being part of life itself.
wow i feel good now that's of my chest, thanks for listening, and the payment for the therapy will be in your account by next week

When I said that I was going camping in February, I was asked if I thought that it would be "too cold". I just walked away.
Sounds good to me, pehaps I need to work harder to convice people that I am odd?
My brother, a former soldier of 16 years service, said to me, "what do you want to go and sleep in the woods for?" and " At least I used to get paid for it". But I know that he really loved being in the army and being outdoors, so I think if he could he would probably join me.
My other brother keeps asking why I paid to go on a tracking course, I usually reply that I like to find and observe animals in the wild. I know this brother always watches wildlife programes on telly and I think he would really like to be with me watching the animals in the woods.
I think some people would like to do, the things the people on this forum do, but are too afraid of doing something different or unusual.
Mind you my third brother, who is a chef, was quite interested in the nettle soup I made last year, so 1 out of 3 brothers isn't bad

As a matter of fact, the people I know rather admire me for going out in the wilds to live for a few days.
Thus usual reaction I get when someone first learns that I do this is "Wow, I'd love to do that!". I never respond by saying "Why don't you, then?" Instead I say "You're welcome to come with me next time I do - I've got plent of spare gear you can use".
No-one's ever taken me up on my offer yet!

If I find someone who does actually say they would like to do this, I try and suggest dates that this would be possible. They always seem to be busy!
Try being female and doing this kind of thing

Hi Toddy. Wish you could see the looks some of the women here get who rodeo!
Tell them you want to kill something and eat it because it struggles too hard if you try to eat it live.
I get that a lot. I used to plan trips banking on others, now i plan a trip and if others come too then great, if not i just go alone and enjoy the time to my self.
