Wait until you try and organise something, and the parents don't get back to you, then they all get round you like a group of Premiership footballers around the referee because the closing date has passed and little Johnny can't go anymore. Or you take them on a night walk and one of them...

Just start a 'Bushcraft School', you don't need any qualifications and it isn't regulated! Read a few books, get some first aid qualifications in case something goes belly-up, get access to some woodlnd and fill your boots ;)

Well it isn't really Bushcrafty, but a jolly good read is 'A Walk in the Woods' by Bill Bryson. He is a very funny and a very easy to read author.

Maslow had it right. Google Maslows hierarchy of needs. As to where you should start, have you thought about your garden?

It'll be in the post before you can blink!

The other thread saw how many rucksacks we all have, what about tents/bashas/bivis etc? I have a Jack Wolfskin Gossamer (1 man) A bivi bag A Coleman two man tent A Vango Omega 350 Two bashas A home made hammock out of an old Force Ten flysheet My old poncho I reckon that lot is going...

Green Karrimor Jaguar 75l, my old Army rucksack, just can't be parted from it An old skool external framed thing from my Air Cadet days, just can't be parted from it A 35l KIMM sack, my mountain marathon bag for 25 years, just can't be parted from it A 45l Blacks daypack, that could go and I...

No, just google lightweight gas camping stove and look at the pictures. It's a bit like the one the bloke is holding.

When I joined the Junior Leaders (blimey anyone else remember them!) in the 1980s we actually had quite a medical. There were a couple of Juniors who keeled over and died at different units due to undiagnosed holes in the heart, so they were especially touchy about that when I joined. Then...

Or get yourself a T.U.E. Therapeutic Use Exemption certificate. It allows athletes to take drugs that would otherwise see them banned. If only Alain Baxter had gone to the doctors for his cold, he would still have his medal!

How about a lightweight self-igniting gas stove for a re-sealable canister? It'll have to be that or one of my children, and trust me, you don't want either of them!

Canestan for me too.

The hat size is 61 cm, so Fredster may have grow/cut his hair accodringly. I have pm'd him.

No, the label is the label. It is not a legal copy of the prescription as it is not signed by the prescribing clinician. It acts merely to identify the contents and advise how they should be taken. The only prescription is the prescription. As an interesting aside, when one is admitted to a...

Doctor Doctor...help! I got lucky with a South African girl the other day, she is on a gap year and we met on the beach, it was lovely. Except now I appear to have some itching in my nether regions. I had a bit of a look and there seems to be something moving down there. What on earth should...

You are right pteron, the prescription is only one part, the other part is for repeats/information. If you need a copy you will have to photocopy it or get your GP to write a short note.

Take a photocopy, or get your GP to write a short note on headed paper. Especially important if you are on insulin and need to travel with a bunch of needles and some syringes!

Typical, you wait a week and then two posts appear at once :rolleyes:

Honey, I'm home! Well, it is a bit depressing really. I have offered walking boots and a hat and no-one wants them :( I will have a look tomorrow and put up a bauble of such magnificence I'll be beating you all off with a stick!
