In the "What else are you good at" thread I mentioned I lived on a desert island in the Cook Islands for 5 weeks for my 21st. TOMO said I should start a thread about that. Did consider starting a "Wha

Ray Mears is the man, not Bear.   Nice piece that Remybolt. You`re quite a narrator.       More importantly, did you take drugs with you.? No point in seclusion without getting ripped.

If i got in that situation I'd google what I needed to know hahaha

Cigars deffo count mate ! lol.

 

:thumbs::laugh:

I'm glad. Makes me feel like a beast now that I take drugs!

 

I was going to start smoking a pipe. Not a normal one, one like Sherlock Holmes, but the pipes I was looking were in the £250+ range, and I couldn't justify spending that on something I'd use for about a week then lose somewhere.

Interesting stuff Remy, not many people ever spend much time completely alone, must be a tester,lol.

 

Why not make your own pipe? Lump of seasoned cherry off ebay, maybe a ready made stem? few basic tools, good project?

Brilliant read remy bolt, really enjoyed that.TV and drugs aren't my thing either... A few weeks doing exactly what you experienced would really be up my street though.

Wow, I'm really pleased everyone enjoyed that so much. I don't normally speak about stuff I've done in the past. A very hard working father and very fortunate childhood seems to have a lot of adventures that people don't want to hear. I've got so much I'd love to talk about in regards to survival and random adventures I've had. Genuinely touched my everyone's reaction. Thanks guys...but don't expect a group hug.

 

Also I am always worried my ability with the written word sucks due to my dyslexia, but that doesn't stop me trying.

 

If you want to hear about scuba diving, snorkelling, nearly losing a leg, and stuff like that, please let me know.

 

Oh, or snowboarding, sleeping in a snow shelter, and nearly pissing myself on a ski-lift, that's also available.

You clearly have not seen my DIY ability. I can build a shelter like a boss. I can do loads of outdoors based stuff, like tripods for a fire, height sticks to cook over, I can even make up a raised bed so you don't get critters running over you in the night. Hell, I can build you a log cabin...if I have enough wood. Okay, that's not 100% true, I've never actually built a cabin. Just practiced the elements of it on a low level, as high as 2 logs up. But making small tools or working with delicate stuff...no chance! I'd just drill 2 holes in it and stuff tobacco in there. If anyone asks I'd say it was art decco or something like that.
