Some schools over here do youth fishing clubs,Ontario does learn to fish and tackle share programs as well as school fishing contests,lots of schools do archery some do hunting,the UK has lost its way. Fish locker I like his content,now he is getting a few trips away each year. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not even a fan of him but watching him on TV at TRNSMT a few years ago is maybe as jealous as I’ll get of the young ones today. Taps aff getting mad with it in the sunshine with all your mates singing “here we, here we, here we fcking go”! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not a bit of me, I get woozy waking over tower bridge ! lol On a job with a some rope access techs a few years ago, couple of them trying to ‘out danger’ each other telling of the various bridges, masts etc. they’d working on. I showed them that video with Dibnah swinging about in the wind at the top of a 200’ chimney in a bosun’s chair.., not a safety harness or ‘two points of attachment’ in sight. We bred men different in those days, granted a few had the ‘half a day out with the undertaker’ but removing the risk from everything dulls the wits and creates complacency. That’s the price I suppose. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
