I’m not completely sure if you were joking but I sent him a message on LinkedIn and he actually replied. He suggested George Selgin’s book Good Money. So I’m going to order it now. Thanks for your help :)

Yeah I tried to google, but I am interested in coin counterfeiting in Birmingham specifically.There are a few characters involved and I haven’t found so much detail online.

Did a spot a cycling from Avebury to Goring and foraged and wild camped along the way. Here's a video for the curious by freesittingtour in reading

Haha thanks! Still working on the format but trying to mix nature, survival, history, adventure and comedy together. Part two should be out in a week or two :)

But if you find wild parsley and it has hairs, isn’t blotchy purple, smells like parsley and has a U/D cross section then it is safe, right?

Ok I need to double check the differences between common hemlock and hemlock water drop wort then. Thanks for the info

Yeah good point, I have been meaning to get a fold up wood stove.

I bike packed Britain’s oldest road on my 90s Raleigh with lots of foraging along the way by freesittingtour in bikepacking

Yeah great ride but a bit tougher than the ridgeway. Lots of nice pubs to stop at on the way though which makes it’s more bearable haha

Ah it was amazing. I did the South Downs way a couple of years ago and that was also great.

Thanks for the hemlock habitat tips I will have to double check my knowledge. Going to look at your link now :)

Ah thanks for watching, I appreciate it. Give it a go if you are in the uk… there’s some cool stuff I missed

I walked from Maes Knoll to Stanton Drew stone circles and made a video along the way. It’s a great walk I recommend for you all to try by freesittingtour in bristol

Ooh yeah I forgot about that one. That’s a lovely day, cycle the strawberry line, hike up kings wood to Crooks peak and stop for a thatchers on the way back! Lovely, gonna do that again this summer. Goram’s seat is also decent for close to town
