Thanks mate, i just like to make things a bit more fun, lighten the mood etc.

I have stacks of them, originally i bought a thing called “SmileyPad” it was only a couple of quid. It was basically a folder that came with lots of smileys, all hosted by the developer.

So when on a web site, you could open the pad, and click on a smiley, and it would appear in your post.

Eventually the developer couldn't afford the hosting, and to keep it working, i used Photobucket to host them. It was only when Photobucket went west that i remembered them, i'm slowly moving them over to ImgBB now. No pad to keep them in now though, somebody should re develop it.

'I didn't put any gear back on for fear of looking like a rapist as I tried to flag down the traffic, if you know anything about survival training you will learn to adapt to a situation as it unfolds, a T shirt was much more the look to alay the fear of motorists going by, plus it was all in a heap in the back of the van, soaking wet where I chucked it as I made a hasty retreat, I had run out of gas, because I stayed for three days instead of just the two, thats why I lit a fire! I would have gone sooner but my pan had frozen into the ice, I also ran out of diesel while trying to get my van moving in the mud. I can look after myself and I don't need anyone telling me that I can't, it my life and I will do what I want, people are very quick to sit behind a computer tapping away in the comfort of their home. get out and have a go yourself if you think you are hard enough.'

I'm sorry but how does wearing clothing appropriate to the conditions make you look like a rapist? I don't know much about survival training however I do have a modicum of common sense, maybe when you look back at your story you will realise that you made quite a few basic errors, especially considering that apparently you can look after yourself.

Next time you go fishing for 2/3 days make sure you take spare dry clothes and enough gas and fuel, even if you leave them in the car, would have been ideal in this case wouldn't it?

Just remember the Six Ps of Planning – Prior Planning & Preparation Prevents Poor Performance. You can add a couple of extra P's in there if you want the forces version!

Spot on mate. Had a chuckle at the rapist comment, as a rule carpers can look quite similar green or camo clothing so does that mean most look like rapists?
Not sure rapists have a dress code
