What are the ethics surrounding building a fire and bivvy shelter whilst in a knee-bar rest?

It's fine as long as you use a blowtorch and film it for Vimeo.

From what I've gleaned of the thread, the only training for knee-bars is an abandonment of righteousness.  So to accelerate the necessary descent into moral turpitude, I prescribe a course of:
- puppy drowning
- poultry molestation
- crystal meth manufacture
- luring shipping onto rocks with a lantern
- Estate agency

Or Journalism :)

Quote: "Any thoughts? What venues are good for training kneebar technique?"


Get your wood and drill out. I built a load of stuff in my cellar for the old kneebars. The only downside is that I can't get Stu out of there - he's a sitting tenant and his wife has to bring dinners round to the back door every night.

Seriously though - gains are quick to start with. You'd never believe how shit we all are at kneebars until you train 'em.

Love this thread.
