Anyone fancy a group trip to an ancient arboreal environment?

i bet he doesnt look like that after a week or two training militaries!

 

He dosn't train service personal.He makes his coin by taking urban novices into the "wild" and making them feel like its money well spent.

New Zealand.

 

There it is possible to be more than 40 miles from a licensed establishment,where in the UK it is not.There is no "wilderness" in the UK,well except inside the minds if weekend "survivalists".

A truly magnificent country, But i still like the fact I can drive within 2 hrs to some of the most amazing ancient tree sites in europe! just spoilt for them we are!

 

I like the landscapes of sweden too, rocks trees and water everywhere.

 

It is true we are overcrowded here, but it does have its advantages, for a start it is a great place to earn a living, oh and its central to most of europe which makes it a great base to travel from.

 

But then thats why you guys love it here too isnt it!

And by making TV show's,

 

"we are ready for you now Mr Mears,

 

QUIET ON THE SET, take 7........

 

Dont confuse entertainment with reality.

[Mike Hill]

Hamadryad and Treequip both have substantial points.

 

I do enjoy the UK for its history and easy of Travel to other countries.The UK does entertainment of the indoors variety very well.

 

I worked with a guy who would pay about £750 to trot off to Dartmoor in his cammo trousers to learn how to light fires and cook Squirrels.When he returned form his course he felt like he could live for weeks on end with nothing more than his "Ray mears Knife and fire steel combo".

 

He never learned to use a map and Compass,navigate in close country,or even to wear his boots in before a journey.I think the most worrying thing was,he was never told to tell others of where he was going or his intended route.

 

Every year in New Zealand half a Dozen tourists go missing and normally turn into a pile of Bones clad in "techno fleece",miles from where they were supposed to be.A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Wearing in ones boots before venturing on a trek is a given surley?

 

I would imagine, that squrrel being similar to rabbit would after three months of consumption lead to protien poisoning? Unless you eat all the organs as would a wolf etc.

 

But this is all off thread!

 

think i will be doing it alone! Black forest of germany, has anyone been there?
