.......................He is one to teach you something about survival (in a negative way). The Canadians have recently found one of his ships, which originally sparked the largest search and rescue mission in history. It is all a fascinating story. The story of his wife is even more remarkable, now she Was an explorer and more man than her husband ever was.
Unfortunately, she was also a major factor in the condemnation of John Rae. But yes, apart from that she did achieve a lot, often with her husband.
Could we call her a bushcraft pioneer? I reckon she would have given Les Hiddens a run for his money considering her pioneer travels in Australia. She had respect for the Aborigines and the convicts too, who accompanied her.
Yes I do agree Rae suffered from revealing the truth as he knew it. At least he has been honoured in these latter days https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/about/news/blue-plaque-for-john-raeMost definitely a Bushcraft pioneer, I wouldn't dispute that. But I think it is unfortunate that Rae suffered as he did as a result of her campaign against him, and to my mind, he was one of the leading pioneers (if not THE).
However, I do realise that this was out of grief and that these were different times, but nonetheless a great travesty.

So, gram for gram, which cake is best to go with my cuppa ?
I would go with fruit cake. Provides lots of calories both slow and fast release, and tends to be more durable than other kinds of cake.
