Hiya James,<br>Yes i've been watching Ray Mears program on BBC 2 it's really good.He certainly knows his suff! What i find the most interesting is that he has learnt all the survival techniques without having a military background. I must have seen most of his programs even when he was doing a short piece each week for an outdoor program called "Tracks". Where do you practice your techniques? Where do you buy your equipment from? I buy most of mine from the various retailers in the Lake district near to where i live.<br>bye for now<br>Simon
