Ray is a great promoter of bushcraft. His TV series and books are fantastic resources of important human skills and knowledge for responsibly enjoying (and surviving) the wilderness and nature. His book ‘Bushcraft’ starts with a quote from Knut Haukelid Skis in ‘Against the Atom’:
 

“We learned that one cannot defy nature, but must adapt and accommodate oneself to her. Nature will not change; it is man who must change, if he is to live in conditions where nature is dominant.”
Says it all really.

Hugh and his Gastro-wagon are now famous on TV all over the world. Hugh took the ‘Bush-tucker Man’ idea and spent a year touring the UK countryside living on wild food and making a video of his experiences. 

Hugh has done more than anyone else in the media to promote the wild food in our environment and a responsible attitude to enjoying it. Many restaurants now offer wild and local alternatives on their menu directly as a result of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.

Hugh now runs River Cottage and is responsible for promoting a better understanding of the nature and origins of what we eat, and to celebrate and contribute to the vibrancy of our local food community.

Guy founded the Riverford organic vegetable box delivery scheme, which now has over 30,000 customers in the south of UK. Spurned by the supermarket buyers who offered little or no profit for organic food growers, Guy set up a franchise delivery service and has single-handedly done more to promote the use of organics in UK than anyone else.

Every fortnight for ten years or so I have received one of these delicious boxes and a bag of fruit. My delivery list is always marked with the % grown in UK, with delicious recipes and a newsletter. I would not give up my Riverford veg. box for anything less than a walled garden! A true modern hero!

Dave's quirky comedy has got him work as a stand-up comedian in the USA, Sweden, France, Ireland, Holland, The Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, India and The Falklands.  This in addition to the British "comedy circuit", including Jongleurs and The Comedy Store in London.

Dave is best known for being (and getting sacked as) Tinky Winky - the most famous of the “TELETUBBIES”. As well as his depth of comedy experience he has several credits as a serious stage actor.  He writes all his own jokes, as well as providing material to many other comedians appearing live on stage and on television and radio. His print credits include co-writing on the book "Sit Down Comedy" with Jim Tavare,  and magazines ESQUIRE, GQ, TIME OUT, and IT MAGAZINE. He always makes me laugh. Find him at: davethompson.org.uk

Eva is married to Dave above and has to put up with all his naughtiness. Eva is a brilliant sitar and vina player and its well worth downloading the music samples you will find on her web site. Eva also works with a band called 'Freeflow'. She trained in Bharatanatyam, a classic dance style from South India and is particularly interested in exploring the healing capabilities of the Sitar and the Vina, classic Indian instruments. 

Eva's activities include  modelling for Marie Claire Magazine, acting in ITV's "The Sketch Show" and performing Indian music concerts in The Royal Festival Hall, India and Turkey. Eva sometimes works with Dave and has recently been playing sitar on Harry Hill's tour.

It was Guy Dauncey more than anyone who influenced me to experiment with new social exchange systems in my local town. 

His book 'After the Crash' made such a lot of sense it sent me on a 20 year journey of local 'maverick', social innovation that resulted in my book 'Making Community Work'.

Guy now lives near Vancouver, Canada and continues to be a paradigm shifting author on the subjects of global warming and sustainable living.
