There is nothing wrong with 'middle men' in this sort of business scenario, after all a travel agent is simply a middle man between the traveller and the airlines. But some people who have the time and inclination will prefer to make all the arrangements themselves directly and save themselves some money.
If you would prefer that someone else take care of the logistics and organisation for a small fee then by all means use such a company, nothing wrong with that at all. But there is also nothing wrong with suggesting the possibility that people might be able to organise things themselves.
Stuart, what don't you understand about this fairly simple concept? YOU CAN ONLY BOOK AS AN INDIVIDUAL THROUGH BEARCLAW OR NORDIC BUSHCRAFT FOR THIS COURSE, not matter whether you're British, Swedish, Brazilian, Chineese or any other nationality. What you were suggesting cannot be done, it is wrong infomation
Do you need me to draw you a picture?
And if you wonder why a few of us are getting a little upset it's maybe because you are refering to a very reputable bushcraft school as a bunch of travel agents!
I've never said this to anybody on a forum before as it's usually better said in person but you Stuart, are a moron.
All the best,
Bam.
