[clcuckow]

Hi All,

Do any of you have the "Survive!" video? Is it any good? and is it worth the money?

Thank

[grumit]

i have the video it aint the best if you pay post you can have it

[clcuckow]

is it that bad then ;-)

seriously PM my how much you want for the PnP and how you how you want payment e.g. cheque, bank transfer, cowrie shells, etc. and I will give it a go!

in a word - no!

Its more an advert for survival school than a serious educational video - far better to get yourself Lofty Wisemans Survival video - that is very good and full of tips.

Another good by product of it is that it sends my misses to sleep!

Gary,

Do you know anywhere I can get a copy of Lofty Wiseman's video, I've had a look around but not had much luck yet,

[Gary]

To be honest I dont - I've had mine years.

I'll have a nose about and see what I can find though.

It's listed in the videos section of www.warbooks.com at about $65 (way down the page) but of course that suggests that it's a USA NTSC video. If you have a standard UK VCR then you need a PAL version of the tape, regardless of the fact that both versions are VHS. Might be worth enquiring, though. I'll keep hunting and let you know if I find one closer to home.

have seen a couple recently on ebay, although i've failed to bid, will keep 'em peeled...... :shock:

[ChrisKavanaugh]

$65 is to much for any VHS video. Let me nose around this side of the pond. Do you have conversion facilities available? The local import shop copies many PAL titles ( that master of decorum Chubby Brown ) into American format. It might be "carrying coals to Newcastle" and I don't know what copyright barriers might come up.

in the past i've found conversions to be very expensive. my one and only ron hood video (ntsc) plays fine, withuot any convrsion.

cheers, and.

[Gary]

Ally what big eyes you've got!! :shock:

Ebay - ya seems like a good place to look - good idea.

The video is made or produced by BCB - its called,

OUTDOOR SURVIVAL - SAS SURVIVAL TECHNIQUES and runs for 100 minutes.

Two addresses on the back one is BCB the other is

WISEMAN PARTNERSHIP,
22 LANGLAND DRIVE
HEREFORD

So you might want to try contacting them direct - or try Lofty's survival school.

AND REMEMBER - keep em peeled!! (was that shaw taylor in crime watch?)

Has any one had any success if finding loftys video for a resonable price?

[Brian]

I managed to get a copy of the first video from e bay, it appears that there are 2 parts, haven't found the second one yet but am still looking.
