Three cheers for Ray Mears!

I can't help but agree that he is completely right, caravans are fking awful things, but what a gaff - he must have known he'd get binned off from the event. £10,000 down the drain!

Speaking of caravans though, I can't think of a worse way to have a holiday, who'd want to be stuck in one of those miserable stboxes?

I expect lots would not like your choices. I doubt that many would be as rude as you though.

What's your favourite site?

[McWigglebum4th]

Excellent work

[jmorgan]

Lining up to be TG presenter is he?

[GTIR]

I'm pretty sure he won't be that fussed at losing £10k. He'll just get booked elsewhere.

My friend is a marketing type (sales) and his company tried to book him but he was booked up for six months then he was off doing filming.

Ok as a base tho.

I doubt many would like being stuck in a log cabin, in the Arctic Circle @ -35 , i love it tho

I have no idea why Mears was thought to be pro-caravan.

You watch any of his stuff and it's all outdoorsman, bushcraft and various forms of wild camping.

Parents live in chapel through the summer on one of these sites. I fully understand what Mears is saying. It's like some White box graveyard in some parts. Yet an idilic tucked away little camping site for caravans is normally pleasant and inoffensive enough to go unnoticed.

[GAjon]

So his actual problem is "displaced urban people" spoiling his view isn't it?

[eccles]

Whilst I agree with Mears, it doesn't say a lot about his morals does it. Hates caravans with a passion, but He'll take their money.

[Baryonyx]

Yes, caravans are st. You'd have to be a complete idiot to want to holiday in one. Grim stuff.

[Fort Jefferson]

Three cheers for Ray Mears, he now has more street cred than he could have dreamed of.

Revealed his true self, a first rate hypocrite.

[Magog]

It's the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome show. Doesn't seem unreasonable that he might be very knowledgeable and interested in one of those things and despise the other two.

Stuck in one of those things, why would anyone be stuck in one, every one I have seen has had a door to enable the occupants to get out, and honestly, you can't think of a worse way to have a holiday ? You clearly lack imagination !

Nothing wrong with caravans, a modern caravan is a great way to have a holiday.
I can take my wife and dog with me, one of which is not welcome in many hotels, our caravan has everything I need for a week or more away from home.

I hate Miley Cyrus but I'd have sex with her. I am also morally bankrupt

This. Its not my cup of tea at the moment but when I was younger my parents took me all over Europe, well mostly France and Spain with the caravan in tow, best holidays of my life too, bloody awesome! Met plenty of Dutch/German girls too

Much better than the 10 day all inclusive to what ever stty island Thomson take you to.

Although I wouldn't stay in a static caravan in Cornwall, not my thing!
