    That's what bushcraft does to people.
    Do you want to be happy or do you want to be normal?

    If you did have a shave now - would they have to start calling you "littlestan"?
    If you stretch out both arms to represent all time on earth, then with one stroke of a nail file you could eradicate all human history, and 98 per cent of all human history was spent in the stone age.

    How dare you! I'm going to have Harvey (the big purple dragon that only I can see) attack you.

    Have you seen the video of this guy using one of his machetes to shave someones head? He uses a piece of newspaper to strop the blade and claims it's down to the small ceramic particles in the recycled paper acting like a fine grit stone. I thought it looked implausible so I tried it with a newspaper on my kitchen work top then shaved with the knife. This gut knows his stuff.

    There is no way that I would let this guy shave my head with a machete
