    I wouldn't trust/depend on them. But they are a growing power and strategically positioned. They're one to watch with all of this stuff.

    I think turkeys cards are marked with how much damage their Bayraktars have done! There’ll be a ton of quiet diplomacy going on. Moving chess pieces. The Turks were booted out of the F35 programme because they bought Russian air defences and there’s been speculation that post Ukraine they will be brought back in after negotiations.

    Development; Turkey has dropped its opposition to Finland and Sweden becoming NATO members.

    That one is very hard to watch. It’s verging on torture tbh. The victim was absolutely shitting himself and complying. And I think the cop was exonerated. Amazing how the victims skin colour basically made invalid in todays world.

    Charlie four was not playing!

    Yep. When you read about it it sounds like it's so prevalent that it's an accepted part of their culture. I love the sound of a tiny volcanic island in the middle of the largest ocean on earth, populated by British mutineers in hiding. It's a great story. It's the least populated nation in the world and probably one of the most isolated. But the kiddy fiddling stuff wrecks it. It's only the fact that they're a territory of ours that gives us any authority to sort that. If they were totally independent they would be free to do whatever they want.

    Anyway, I'm up to episode 3 now I think, where the poor man's Ben Fogle presenter fella goes to the British Indian Overseas Territory in the Indian ocean and Pitcairn in the Pacific ocean. BIOT is a very interesting/controversial place. I knew most of it already but didn't realise how much of an untouched natural beauty the place was. Illegally declared as a marine reserve (the largest in the world) and teaming with healthy coral and uninhabited islands... ...one of which being Diego Garcia. Pitcairn has an infamous history too. He didn't go into the really shady recent stuff. B

    Sounds like the requirements are for construction. Some of it is similar though. Core samples are pretty standard for analysis in shallow stuff, go deeper and the process and analysis becomes more demanding iirc, hence the need for downhole kit/measurements.
  9. Born Hunter
    Yeah okay, that to. I wasn’t justifying anything just explaining the rationale. You crack on fighting the globalists.
  10. Born Hunter
    Another British system.

    And when he doesn't? More effective to keep feeding Ukraine weapons and intelligence and listen to Russia ramp up the rhetoric in frustration, knowing that they don't have any more bottle to attack us directly than we do them. Meanwhile they are continually being degraded through our support of Ukraine.
  12. Born Hunter
    Nuclear escalation is standard for the Russians. Both sides know that so yeah it is seen as a bluff to a large extent. But what exactly can you do in the face of a real threat? Things have been done that are similar in their goal to conscription, like Europeans increasing defence spending and NATO declaring increasing deployed forces from battlegroup to brigade strength with an increase in rapid reaction forces from 40k to 300k. I bet sub and intel activity has gone mental. But what beyond that is on the table and worthwhile?
  13. Born Hunter
    Two types of soldier.... Evolved smart types, like Stiff, who see a borehole and talk about strata. And then there's Neanderthals, like you, who see a bore-hole and probably try to f**k it! Give me strength!
  14. Born Hunter
    I read something about a cull yeah. Can't exactly remember though.
  15. Born Hunter
    f**k off you two.
  16. Born Hunter
    Water wells or are you interested in the geology? What sort of instrumentation do you use? Downhole tools like wireline? I'm out of all that now.

    Iirc the falklands has feral herds of caribou/reindeer. They also have some great looking wild trout fishing (a lad on here posted about it while he was posted down there). If it was possible to go down there, cull some caribou and roam about spinning for trout and whatever else at an economical cost, I’d be all over it.
  18. Born Hunter
    Regarded by many as the greatest spear fishing destination on the planet! Its also remarkable ecologically. The island is naturally nothing but generally inhospitable rock. “Hell without the fires” one described it as. Then they took hundreds of different species of plant there to try to get something to grow. Eventually finding some that would and literally turned the mountain green! This lead to rain clouds forming and precipitation increasing which further fuelled the greenery. It also lead to a disaster for what natural ecosystem there was before man. Nonetheless its a remar

    Yeah, I bet in the Navy it would be possible to do most of the Atlantic/Med'/Caribbean territories, including the Antarctic. The trickiest one, and the one which being in the forces would make easier to tick off, would be Diego Garcia. Pitcairn in the middle of the Pacific might be a bit of a b*****d too. Do Mountain Leaders or similar go to South Georgia? Probably not, be a hell of a treck for what could be achieved in Europe. It looks breath taking and there's so much history there of the whaling fleets and obviously has arctic warfare heritage for them.
  20. Born Hunter
    Absolutely. So the fella on this series claims that no one has every been to all of them before. But I imagine that by choosing the right path in the forces you could come pretty close, given they're either of strategic military importance or depend on the military for support.
  21. Born Hunter
    I should take a camera crew and maybe do a series for a well known streaming tv service to be able to distribute my adventure with the rest of you…. It would be very interesting, but unfortunately, ‘life’.
  22. Born Hunter
    I had to read that three times before I could begin to understand it, lol. There’s a lot going on in that post for this time of the day.
  23. Born Hunter
    If you say so
  24. Born Hunter
    I’ve often fancied visiting all of the BOTs. Most of them have some sort of fascinating history and/or are utterly breathtaking. Anyway found a little series on Amazon Prime where one fella manages to visit all of them. Worth a watch.
  25. Born Hunter
    Its shit tbh. Also, that is basically in the middle of the city you’re right. Crazy
