But remember if you want to ask a question for a future episode, don’t do this in the comments below, do it in one of the ways explained HERE.

What Is #AskPaulKirtley?

#AskPaulKirtley is my Q&A video and podcast series that aims to answer your questions about bushcraft, survival skills and outdoor life.

The idea here is partly to take the strain off my email inbox and get answers out to people in a more timely fashion.

Rather than send an answer to just that one person, I’d like others to benefit from the answers too. So, just in the same way I’d previously write an email answer, here I’m going to speak the answer (which is much quicker than me typing out an answer, so I’ll get more questions answered as well as benefiting more people).

    Hi, Paul

    I will never look at a sweet chestnut tree in the same light again. It was very well explained.

    If you are a wild camper, like myself, then basic first aid skills are essential. I personally believe that the sooner kids are taught these skills, the better.

    Thanks again, Paul, a great video.

    Phil

      Hi Phil, thanks for your comments. Good point concisely made regarding first aid. As for the sweet chestnut part, I’m glad you found it so interesting.

      Warm regards,

      Paul
