Hostage
On a sadder note its been nearly six weeks since one of my best friends was taken hostage in Basra. He is working for CBS and although a lot of work is being done behind the scenes, I hope he is released soon.
Good luck mate.

March Onwards...
For a change I have been filming in the UK with the Pathfinders Platoon of 16 Airborne Bde. They are an exceptional bunch of guys and it's reminded me of when I was in Patrols Platoon in 1 Para in the early '80's, nothing changes much and it's still a great laugh although the guys are much better nowadays with loads more experience than in my day. As well as filming with them I'm also doing a series for ITV about the Medics in Afghanistan during these next few months, so I'll be back in the UK about July!
I have also been playing around with some new gear, like a POV 1, bullet camera which has been great,although it chews batteries! Also been using a lot of Kriega bags etc and they are ace. As for military gear, I've got gear from Serbia, which is the best,lightest armour and helmets I've seen. They are at www.armyequipment.com .
I think I should do a kit update as I have tried just about everything in the worst conditions, and still use www.militarymorons.com as a guide on military stuff..which seems to work better than the over-priced tat sold as pro-camera gear.
