| Intrepid blogger climbs tree... |
Unfortunately, my
health has suffered having contracted infectious mononucleosis / glandular fever in May 2018. I went from running 30 miles a week cross-country in my vivobarefoots and
my skora, hiking 20 miles in my vivo’s, being fitter than I have ever been…and then suddenly reduced to a physical wreck by the Epstein-Barr Virus. Now
being unable to run for the next few
months years and with a long physical recovery,
I am looking at walking and bushcraft pursuits/ reviews.

As you may be aware from
reading this blog I have been running / walking ‘barefoot’ for five years and I wear the
vivobarefoot shoes practically all of the time, so, whilst the blog is still foot related
there is a change in focus to a more sedate sort of bushcraft and minimalist living. It
won’t be survival skills
per se, although I may tell you one day about my childhood.
(My father was in the Civil Defence so I grew up on Post-
Apocalyptic NuclearDevastation Scenario’s.) Also, there are plenty of other blogs and vlogs (and
experts) who deal with this, such as my favourite youtube channel
Bush CampingTools and of course TV favourites
Ray Mears and the Bush Tucker Man, without
adding more of the same.
What
to look forward to in future blog posts includes:
a review of Akubra hats (
Colly and
Stockman), and an insider’s
look at infectious mononucleosis! (
part 1,
part 2 and
Part 3) ...AND... with the current pandemic of COVID19 a look at #StayHomeSaveLives #quarantineactivities
whittling and
so forth and also
urban survival with some some random asides into
Crocodile Dundee and
Tolkien. I just blog about all the stuff I am interested...which is wide-ranging and sometimes random...Enjoy!
