Dear all, I have got some great news! As I have volunteered a lot of my time and effort to the National Trust in the past while, The National Trust have kindly offered to donate the entrance fee back to this particular gathering. Luckily this means this gathering will be completely free...

Kids are welcome under adult supervision. Another forum member also said they were going to bring kids. Food is generally provided by yourself. Last year, some people brought more then they needed in order to share with other people. Most people cooked over the fire, but some cooked over their...

Hi all, Just to remind you all of the second gathering I am organising on our site at Wild-Live on the 4th and 5th of April. Just like last year, the cost is £15.- per person. This fee goes directly to the National Trust in lieu of their entrance fees. All our tools, equipment...

Hello all, I am very sorry some of you felt that the £15,- charge was unfair. All the money collected was donated directly to the National Trust in lieu of the normal entry charges. I also had certain overheads which I paid for myself such as event insurance, firewood, and organising time. I...

Hi all, Yes, it is a new book. I did not bring it up on this forum, because I felt it was not my place to do so. I am, however, very happy with it, and very proud! Apart from the odd use of modern equipment such as the mention of a survival-tin, the use of a solar-still (To purify) and some...

I suppose I shouldn't reply, but a quick: "I am glad you had a good time" will surely do no harm! Nice to have met you on the course! Regards, Anthonio Akkermans Wild-Live
