Just delete it, I don't want to offend anyone.

No one will be offended as we are all white Caucasian and I expect all Christians.

I love it!!! My all-time fave survivorist!!!
I'd happily spend some time with him in the outback, imagine me showing him what I've learnt from his TV shows.

Thanks Zman!

Major Les 'bush tucker man' Hiddens is 79 now and he's one of the few people much older than me.

I love Les Hiddens, he's an ex army major too.

Jessica, sometimes we put up a big tent but our camp kept moving leap-frogging to the next day's work.
That became a pain so we just roped a tarp between trees.
Lots of blankets and camp beds but eventually we just make a circle of camp beds around an open fire with the starry night sky as our ceiling.
That was amazing actually as we were so far from civillization there was no light or air pollution. The sky was crystal clear and when the very bright moon rose it was really spectacular.

As a cadet Surveyor I cooked, cleaned, dug latrines, ... and travelled back to Mount Newman for supplies.
One night I cooked the team a lovely batch of tripe, onions and white sauce. It all went in the fire!

This sounds amazing I will never experience anything like this so to read about it and watch it on BTM is the next best thing! Apart from the tripe and onions that is

I prefer the Lakes District in Jessicas 'green and pleasant' England. I spent an enjoyable two weeks there in 1980 but on way back to London our Kombi van busted a rear end and we were stuck 100s of ks from our destination without transport, which put a dampner on the holiday.
