I settled down this evening to watch Ray Mears doing one of his Bushcraft programmes. He was trekking across the Masai Mara with a native Masai warrior, who was going to show him some of the Masai survival skills. They settled down for the night, making a traditional masai camp, which effectively involved chopping down some really sharp thorn bushes and making them into a big hedge. They sat down by the fire and started to have some food. The Masai warrior reaches across the camp to poke the fire into life and what do I spot on his wrist?. A wristwatch. They seemed to live about 700 miles from the nearest road, in mud huts, with no electricity or any other obvious modcons, so why on Earth would they need a wristwatch?. Its not as if they need to worry about being late for meetings or anything is it?.
