Mears new series.

[Ahjno]

My god..does this mean that the BBC understands scheduling??? or are the overnight techs big Mearsy fans.

We have influence mate

I think that was a good one to end the series on. The baadger tracking was good, and the sand trap and the birch sap.

Do you think that the woodland last night was Ray's woodland?

Probably is front lawn

I think I caught a glimpse of his palace across the other side of the field!

I would have been interested if he had answered the question the saami man asked in response to haw many reindeer he owned.

Might explain why his gear always looks new. He just throws it away after a trip, and buys new

 

[Mutley]

He might have all the gear but he still does a good job with some old Bushcraft skills! The last episode wasn't a good example, but when he went to Cananda was!

Oh to have BBC funding lol
His smocks must be made from moon dust looking at the price of them lol.

 

[Ryan Woods]

The next series should concnetrate on his house. Now that would be a survival situation trying to manouvre between al his gear!
Maybe a picture in the next book of EVERYTHING together...

Hi guys,

I'm still looking for a copy of the birch bark canoo making (VHS or DVD/CD?)

Acouple of you asked for a source for the leather bags Ray used for flour/sugar/raisins well I found a place that has nice ones and the price seems OK also even affordable for "normal folk" just go and look at:

And chose the "More" and scroll down a bit, you can even get a leather bag for your frying pan

I just would like to know how "big" the first of the coffee bags as.

Best Scouting wishes from Holland,

Bagheera

PS does anybody know where I could buy a real Saami Lasso?

 

[Skippy]

14.98 is not a bad price for a real leather pouch....
i did video the canoe episode, but have not had time to view it yet, so dunno if it any good.

Ok ...... north of the border we were a few episodes behind. Last weeks episode (25th May) was the one in Sweden with Lars, skiing, ice fishing etc. That episode was an hour earlier because of the Chelsea Flower show but this week the Mr Mears has disappeared completely ........ it's not on next week either and seems to have been replaced by Spring Watch!

Now don't get me wrong I like Spring Watch (I even met Kate Humble the other day ) but to cut a series off 2 (??) episodes before it's actually finished is out of line ! I'm suffering withdrawal symptoms ...... please help ...... can anyone in Scotland clarify the situation?

[Beer Monster]

I know ..... gutted. Still it just means I have an excuse to buy the DVD now (not that I needed one!)

 

[VIRULENT SALAMANDER]
