Gadget Boy was mine for a couple of reasons. Firstly it didn't matter what was needing done, I'd have something to hand that could do the job, more often than not a handy multi-tool. Secondly, I do have a liking for shiny tech so liked stuff like bluetooth gadgets, PDAs/smartphones, etc.
In fact, I was famous for having even having a bluetooth dog... When I had a bluetooth adapter on the front of my old pc, it would link automatically with my PDA/phone as soon as I was within range. My dog cottoned onto this and would see the tell-tale blue glow and come to the door or start barking long before she heard me approach.

In recent months, because of the activity I do when we have school visits I'm the "Twisted Firestarter"!
The chap i do a bit of tree work with calls me mcgyver because when he breaks things i usually find a simple but easy way of fixing it!
But my wife usually refers to me as 'tramp' as i usually smell of fire/deer guts/angle grinder dust/horse muck/dead rabbit etc.
I live and work on a farm so it's rare i'm clean!

Really? I thought bushcraft was just therapy for arsonists. An excuse to start fires by different means without damaging property."sparky" but i gave up arson at 16
