Hello form the bat...

[Mang]

Hi one and all,

First off, Mang is the bat from The Jungle Book (don’t believe Walt Disney!)

As a kid I recall watching Eddie McGee on TV as a kid, and loved exploring the beach where I used to live (Skegness...that's why I love Samphire so much I guess!) but latterly, I think Scouting and seeing Uncle Ray’s 5 minute features on the much missed 'Tracks' kick started me.

I think I've taught myself most things I know (but Lord bless the internet as a teacher!). I'm looking forward to organising another Bushcraft base at the Explorer camp Gilwell24 for which I'm making *loads* of pop can stoves as one of the giveaways and I'm on course to have more than the 104 I took last year...http://www.escouts.org.uk/forum/show...ight=gilwell24

I also started a Bushcraft & Nature social group on the same site.

You've got yourself a big stove-making job on there mate!

That's some achievement you did there, 104 pop-can stoves! Wow, how long did that take?

Look forward to sharing with you, Oll an Gwella,

I'd looked though threads before and got the friendly vibe TBH. Now these pop can stoves of mine...I made most over a period of time when the wife watched crud like X Factor-Can't be in the same room when that stuff's on!
