Most naturally beautiful state in the U.S.A.

Oh I'm not really dissing anywhere. Least of all Nottinghamshire, but you've got to admit that our 'yob culture' is out of control.

Well ye I go with you there.
You do have to remember that you live right next door to the gun capital of England though. (Nottingham - saint Ann's). As well as one of the highest unemployment rates of the UK.
That in its self well breed into the Yop culture. There still is good ppl around here tho. You - me, There's two lol

I just had a bike ride around Nottingham forest. The forest not the foot ball club BTW. If you want to feel good about this place just do that.

I still like going out and roughing it a bit though. Spent the last week of January and first couple days of February this year in Yosemite. First couple days were bad, even the cameras were seizing up from the cold, but it warmed up a little the rest of the time I was there.

There's nothing I love more than gearing up and heading into the wild...and SURVIVING. Awesome man, just awesome.

I'm an Eagle Scout (once and forever!!), dude...I learned all I need to know about starting fires as a Boy Scout.

Thanks for the heads up on Ray Mears...I'll definitely check that out. ^_^
