No-one knows which bog paper Ray uses as it is so well camouflaged that it just blends into the landscape!
It's rumoured that it is specially woven in a tiny village in the rainforests of Finland but who knows for sure?

I'm fairly new on here but . I could guess a bit of Ray bashing, but it is funny.

No association with them, but I do buy from Woodlore. The staff are really helpful and the service is great. Plus as you say, he could brand toilet paper and it would sell, so the prices they charge are decent for of the stuff they sell IMHO

I thought every Bushcrafter and backpacker in general used double roll as you get so much more wipeage per cubic inch used in your rucksack?

So is this just jealousy? or annoyance just because somone is interested in what another person uses?

Or it could be just a bit of gentle joshing and leg pulling with no malice intended. I am surprised you thought otherwise.

I don't belive its that simple, I am just interested in where this feelings come from, is it to do with the person them selves, or directed at the membership here asking the question?

Slingback,

It maybe comes from the carefull observation that every time Mr. Mears or Mr. Grylls apears on telly that there is a quick flurry of posts asking the details of all they use/wear. Plus there's a healthy sense of humour/satire amoungst the members.

Although I did notice that no-one asked what knots he was using when he trapped Gio Compario in the recent Go Compare advert. Shurley shome mishtake.

Gooatboy.

I think when you have been here a little longer you will realise that most people couldnt give a damn what others use unless out of interest. Most people are more than happy to use what they can afford or are happy with.
If you know anything about the person who made the OP you will realise it is tongue in cheek.

Double post.

No need to be narky chap, and I have been reading here long enough. I'm just interestedin why the need to poke Fun at others.

 

[Johnnyboy1971]

Dont see anything narky about my comments. Just to the point.

Why not?

It happens regularly on these pages and times without number on a daily basis across the globe.

It's an integral part of humour in many societies, and the ability to laugh at one's self or stand being laughed at is cosidered by many to be a mark of the man.

I thought it was only bear that poo'd in the woods,
bet he uses a shovel made by apple, ... The ipoo'd

 

[bigroomboy]

Come on the answer is simple, rolls and rolls of Sphagnum moss, I might use this as a new business venture.
