    Lofty Wiseman on Mears and Grylls

    Just thought I'd share this and open the can of worms.

    It does raise a point though,in that certainly here in NI there is a lot of rivalry (even spite) amongst different clans/schools/bushcraft groups constantly trying to undermine each other and even spreading untruths..seems that it's the same over your side too.

    Okay, I'm sorry... but who is this pompous old man?

    His opinion of Grylls is accurate, but concerning Mears...

    It makes me angry that these pretend hard men think it's all about survival. No, it's not. Ray Mears isn't hiding behind anything. He wants to teach people and he is incredibley passionate. His goal isn't to try and act hard because he isn't a showman. It's all about sharing his knowledge.

    Can someone please explain to me who this old tattooed idiot is?

    Edit: Okay, I just read he's was in the SAS. Is that supposed to be impressive in Bushcraft? I literally couldn't care less.

    I actually have great animosity for the supporters of such people, these army surplus kids who think the only thing in this hobby that matters is muscle. Unbeliavable arrogance.

    Ray Mears probably think the same about the "tatood idiot" as you think of Ray Mears...
