Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Fair enough - I must be missing them. Having said that I am trying to watch
a teeny bit less telly this year and get out a bit more, so perhaps it's actually
working!
Before the series started I saw lots of adverts but it seemed as if things went
a bit quiet once the episodes began to be broadcast.
Radiotimes.com has removed from its listings the unspecified episode that
was (apparently) to have been shown on Saturday 10th Feb.

Any idea what the gear Ray is wearing in the rain? It is a beige green with tight cuffs on the jacket. Ventile?

It is the Woodlore version of the Swazi Tahr jacket. It is three layer goretex and is available from www.RayMears.com but it is not cheap
Did you see Harry Hill making fun of the show on sat night I think. I loved the wild foods series. However it was very funny.
LOL, Aiye Pete,

HH: Where's the fold out scissors?
I suppose you 'had to be there' but it was funny.

I seem to remember he said it was Birch Tar. However, someone else may have been watching more closely than me.

After checking my latest copy of 'What Beard?' monthly, I can confirm Gordon has been hired to replace Pete Waterman in the forthcoming Hollywood remake of 'The Hitman and Her'. Apparently the last episode, where he gets amongst the class A drugs and young female students like a tramp with a bag of chips, clinched the deal.
Have I gone mad or is there only a piffly 5 episodes to thi series?? I've just checked the tv ready for my dose or wild food tonight and it's not on????????????????????????

Well he's already gone through his hallucinogenic stage.
Speaking of which I nearly choked on my tea when Ray spoke of one of his most favorite past times, going hunting for mushrooms!

I liked the bit where Harry was watching Ray saying you could eat Service berries, then it showed Harry munching on them then it cut back to Ray and he said "but make sure to spit out the pips as they contain Cyanide", finally it cut back to Harry and the look on his face had me in stitches and he said something along the lines of "thanks a lot!".
falling rain said:Actually thinking about it people DO go spear-gun fishing in the UK so I'm starting to wonder about the whole thing. Do you need a licence to spear-gun fish in the sea in the UK
Salt-water spearfishing is legal around the coast of the UK. Pretty sure it's illegal on most if not all inland waterways. Perhaps Joethefish is the best person to ask...
As mentioned in a previous thread regarding the cruelty issue:
"In contrast with many other fishing techniques like nets or lines, spearfishing is an extremely selective sport. The diver sees the fish before attempting to catch it and can therefore avoid taking small or immature fish - (I am a keen fisherman with line and hook and have experienced immature fish dying during the process of retrieval). - Furthermore, spearfishermen generally take only one fish per school as opposed to commercial fishermen who often take the whole school Other fishing techniques also often result in tons of "by catch" thrown back in the ocean dead. (see www.defra.gov.uk/fish/conserv.htm on the "by catch" problem). Spearfishermen do no such a thing and actually strongly condemn such wastes. Done responsibly breath-hold spearfishing could be one of the most environmental friendly and ecologically sound ways to bring fish to the table. "

Reminder: a signed version of episode 5 (Woodland) is on tonight at
2.10, BBC1.
