Hi from South Africa. My main interest is cutting tools but love any thing to do with the great outdoors. I was in the UK recently and enjoyed my stay very much. Thanks!

Hi Bernie. Great stuff. From Johannesburg. Not the greatist place in the world. Almost a war zone with all the crime here unfortunately. Know the "Howzit" very well thanks!I did my national service in the SA Navy. Simonstown then SAS President Steyn, trip to France and all that. I enjoy the bushcraft scene very much and wish I could practice more.
Thanks again for the welcome! Chat again soon.

Hi Nigel. A long way back. 1971-1972. Basics in Saldana Bay then Simonstown for TAS (Torpedo/Anti sub) course then onto SAS Preident Steyn. We were escort vessel for the last sub SA bought from France. Really nice trip. Our ship had the big 4.5" main guns. We worked on Anti Sub mortar, Wasp helicopter & Sonar. What dividion were you on the sub? Sorry chaps this is not much to do about bushcraft is it!
