There's an interesting article on a return to simplicity at www.primitive.org/nothing.htm It's from a primitive living skills perspective but I think it has a wider application.
what did everyone think then?

Couldn't get the specific link to work either, but I've fixed it now ;-).....
The site itself is well worth a search.

The general theme of this thread also applies to the birding world in some cases. Often (not always the case of course) those laden with the most expensive bins and scopes know the least about the birds they are watching. I remember one bloke with top of the range swarovski gear in a hide and all he wanted to talk about was his gear! When asked if there were any interesting birds around, he didn't have a clue! The quiet chap in the corner of the hide with the battered old bins had a wealth of information to divulge!
Yeah, that's why i'm always trying to reduce my kit. I want to get back to the point were even my 26L Vango pack has space in it and I have enough kit to cope with what I'm doing.Not Bob said:
Thanx to an accident on exercise I do occasionally get back problems, so the lighter I can go kitwise, the better for my battered, unfit old body. (Hmm, another new smiliey required - old g1t with a walking stick
).

Yes it was fun, Half a dozen matches and a Candle, Axe sneaked out of the Coal Shed, we didn't have Shelters we had Dens.
Bushcraft?? that was something you joined the Cubs or Scouts to learn never did join went a couple of times and didn't like it.
As you got older you called it roughing it, down the Army and Navy stores for the latest gear, for the simple reason there wasn't much else and if there was you couldn't afford it.
Bushcraft never went away someone decided they could make a few bob by putting it on TV and it was reinvented as another way to get money out of people.
Next time you go out look at your gear and see how much of it you use and how much you really need.
Its nice to see someone is interested in getting out and about and not just collecting the latest stuff. :wave:
Wow that was great.
It was amazing to see a group of people discovering how to make fire all over again!!!
Makes you want to grab a stick and run outside in an effort to set things alight.
All in a very legal sense mind you.

:angry::cry2:then I found out my little borhter was recording it for me. missed the very start but no info lost. however, there was something els that had ben recorded on the video between the two episodes so now it will have to go 1,3,2 (monty python fans will feel at home). there is space betwen the two episodes for the next but it can't overun. I've seen the second half though. I liked the way he was trying to explain about not upsetting the locals by showing them how to light the fire, most companies would edit that
I've got it all in my head Scott, and i shouldn't lose that :shock: - Status
