    When modren technology fails

    No tv, no radio, no pc, no internet, no phone (except a mobile for emergencies, which we charged at work). It was a relaxed period...... Yep that's the type of thing I'm thinking of, see I think yer average Jo just wouldn't cope with that.. anyone else?

(you can use dried yeast or bakers yeast whatever you...

    They don't understand!

    Anyway on to the original subject.. they don't understand. Sure they will the day they get into a situation where they need the skills and don't have them. Know which camp I'd rather be in :)

    They don't understand!

    Hi Rommy I don't think anyone is saying your opinion is not valid, I'm a lot newer than you too so don't see you as a newbie. One thought I had when you said you couldn't understand why the other poster wouldn't just carry a lighter. senario: your in the woods miles from anywhere, it's cold...
