LOL at the entire thread...serious or not it's an entertaining read.
However, there is definitely one thing that if attached to your sack would make you a VERY unpopular knobber...and that would be a pair of abandoned poo laden kecks...

Well - if bushcrafting has been hijacked by the young then us 50+ers should band together and become "Bushcrafters" - note the capital!
Bushcrafters do it their way!

Although your not retired yet John you will be a 'Snowbird' (retired and enjoying life) in the not so distant future so here you go, welcome to the club

I want a red horn...

I think wooden spoons should be binned or shoved somewhere they cant be seen. Only titanium spoons to be hung on the outside.

Many thanks Rik
Unfortunately it looks like I will never retire - no personal or work pension and the State Pension seems to move further away every year!
I just need to win the lottery!
Perhaps I should buy a ticket.....
That badge would look great embroidered onto the outside of my pack!

Ah. But to be a true snowbird, you have to migrate south every Winter. That's why the retired yankees and Canuks all come to Florida for the winter.

Sounds like the weather is better rather than "just as good."
