I live just off the eastern edge of Dartmoor and I have to admit that the snow was a bit of a surprise when I stuck my head out of the door at 6am! Of course, by 8am it was back to alternate spells torrential rain and glorious sunshine
I light several fires every day and in my pocket I have a cricket disposable lighter. The blowtorch style lighters are great in the wind, but sometimes the more feathery flame of a standard issue butane lighter or zippo style thing is actually more effective.
Also on the electric vs flint...
The only person that I new sold brewers pitch has dropped off the living history circuit, but it might be worth asking Phil. He makes historic bottles and the like with pitch linings.

yep I still make them, in fact I shall be finishing some off this week! I'll reply to your email shortly :-)
Cheers folks and great thread resurrection!
I send maybe 10 parcels a week with royal fail and most of those have something that will be on their prohibited list come April.
So far the only alternatives that I have found are DPD and UPS, but I still need to check about whether they actually require a business account or not (I've seen...
Same as ammunition for any other weapon. Bigger balls have more stopping power, so if hunting will allow larger prey to be taken. But the heavier ammo needs stringer bands to allow you to send it very far or fast (flatter trajectory is generally better for aiming, so speed is essential). 12mm...

an awful lot of 'trade knives' were sent over either as finished knives or blades. Butchers knives like that were the most common, but other sorts too. Most were not expensive pieces at all and were churned out pretty low quality because they were going to the Colonies (not just the US, but the...
my workshop is very damp and rust is a permanent feature of every single thing in it!
Tools that get used frequently have a wipe with oil. The type doesn't seem to matter a great deal; I've tried everything from posh oils like Jade and Balistol to basic 3-in-1 and wd40. Though the heavier...
Lack of power isn't a problem with my little one and I've never had any problem with oil leakage (unlike several of my petrol saws). Keeping it sharp isn't an issue since you should do that anyway, also the chain is short and small gauge so takes very little time to touch up.
Only thing to keep...
I use a makita cordless (actually its a Dolmar, which is made by Makita but cheaper branding and takes the same batteries). A pair of 5ahr batteries is enough to tank down and dismantle a 12" diameter ash tree. Over the last few years it's become my preferred saw for coppicing and snedding...
