No Formal Training

Given the recent knife attack in London on 04/06/17, I felt I should put together this video giving a few tips about what to do in a knife attack. This is not a practical demonstration of any self defence methods, just a brief guide on what to do to help you increase the chances that you survive such a horrible situation. I must point out that this is not guaranteed to succeed, just hopefully give you a better chance of getting away and surviving. I've also included the main key points  below the video  too. Here's a link to one of the news articles on the attacks as well. 1. Escape. Run away, put as much distance between you and the attacker as you can. Throw things at them if you have to, even if that slows them down just a little bit it gives you a better chance to escape. 2. Raise the alarm, scream, yell, make people nearby you are aware of what's going on, this might help save someone else's life as you try to escape, it might help get the police on t...

I couldn't believe it when I looked at the counter either! I felt I had to do something, vaguely special because of this special marker number on my sub count! :D

Bit of a three in one today as I look at and test the setting up of the BPS adjustable heavy duty backdrop kit, it's carry case and it's black and white backgrounds, AND I also look at how the Andoer backdrops work with this system. Two different brands being used together? Might the world end? Find out :D

Thrust, parry, slice and thrust and parry and there you go, here's another look at yet more wooden swords.  Just when you thought I couldn't possible produce more of these, I go and produce more of these.  Have I saved the best till last?

So continuing my look at camping food, here I go diving into another boil in the bag pack of goodness from Wayfrer. This time, cold from the bag. Sounds tasty.

So this weeks photo vlog is all thanks to a trip to Holy Island, a place of great historical importance for England. More pics to come, in the meantime, please enjoy the video.

So, Lego is getting in on the trading cards game, with their Create the World series, apparently there are 140 to collect so far, who knows if there will be more or if they have other plans for the range.

And I thought they just made outdoor clothing, turns out Regatta makes a whole load of outdoors stuff for all kinds of uses, like these binoculars. I wonder what else they make?

And the waves came tumbling down. Living near the coast can be a great boon for a budding wannabe photographer like myself. So making use of what would otherwise be a bad day for most can make for some pretty good shots. More photos to come, but in the meantime feel free to watch the video montage.

Remember all that camping gear I got a few videos back? Well, you've got to test things like that some time don't you? Now as memory serves, I picked up a cooking pot, a bowl and some lovely prepacked food meal. Can you say "Grubs up" and "Hmmmmmm, yummy" ? I know I can. And if you want to sing "Ging gang goolie", please check your age or your sanity.
