Excellent.

Hi. If you know an excellent website for British foraging I'd love a recommendation. I can't find one which contains pictures good enough for an amateur like me.

Great post idea. Well I started writing a list but it got too long. So many skills and so much knowledge to be gotten from the internet. Except fitness - and that's free too. The only prep I think is really necessary to horde is food. Other than that, I reckon with an axe and a knife and a ferro rod...

I've tried a synthetic wicking t-shirt. Not by Under Armour though. Maybe it was because it was not so expensive, but it just doesn't perform at all as well as my merino stuff. I've become a complete merino wicking layer fanboy since starting this thread - and I'm using the cheap stuff from the chea...
