I would, but Feb is such a tight month for me, moneywise. Grr

I'm near Salcey Forest. I'm kind of armchair bushcrafty, but would like to get out more, while I still have all my own teeth :). If anyone is doing anything locally, do let me know. I'm up for getting my hands dirty.

Anyone know if the 'Light My Fire' 'FireSteel with holster' is on the market yet? The brochure says "Spring 2008" but I haven't seen it anywhere yet. http://www.light-my-fire.se/data/images/pdf/lmf%20brochure%20low%20res%202007-2008.pdf

You're right. Useless sky+ box :(

Bugger, I missed it. And I was keeping an eye out too! iplayer time, methinks.

I'm sure I'm not alone in remembering this programme from the 1970's about a group of people who lived in an iron age village for a year. I'll never forget that when asked what they thought the greatest invention since the iron age was, they replied "Wellies". Does anyone know if it is...

I'm down near Northampton but would be keen to get some practical experience of bushcraft skills. If it ain't too far away then I'm in.

The busiest parts of the forest are near the carparks (obviously), but if you go to the far NE, NW or SW of the forest you can find quiet areas. NW and SW you'll get some motorway noise as it borders the M1 on this side. You can often see a pair of buzzards in the SE corner of the woods. The...

I'd like to see a group of people all on the same tree. It'll be just like christmas.

When it comes to water you have to remember that fish don't get out to go to the bathroom.

Get the windproof one, it is lined.

Damn! Seeing 'The Police' in Cardiff that Friday. Would have loved to come. Let me know if more days get planned, eh?

That'll be rural Northamptonshire, for a start;)

Heard about this on Radio 4 last night but the article got cut short due to the current banking problems. Has anyone tried one of these? Any thoughts? http://www.lifesaversystems.com/index.html

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=470155&in_page_id=1770 What next? Will we find out Mr Mears can't light a fire without a zippo? :rolleyes:

Yeah. I know what you mean, but I think these are very different circumstances. I know the law changed in 1995 but up to then flotsam and jetsam were fair pickings. The 'rightful owners' might not have liked it and we all might thoroughly sympathise with their loss, but that is one of the risks...

True, true. Still, it's not as if the programmes can cost that much to make in the first place, relatively speaking. And who'd have thought Strictly Come Dancing would have had mass appeal :banghead:

Also I'd like to see him in the UK, in the woods, in torrential rain, light a fire. Ha!

Hmm, you could be right, but I'm happy with a bit of ponderous now and then in this fast-paced world. ;) Anyone know what his next series might be about? I'd like to see 'Ray Mears Practical Bushcraft' Where each hour long episode is an in-depth look at ONE thing only. Building a shelter -...

Really? I can never find mine :( . What's your secret?
