    DeWalt battery chainsaw

    Like you, I use mainly dewalt power tools, so I bought the dewalt 18v chainsaw. Great bit of kit, very useful to not mess around with petrol etc.. if it's just a small job. Only issue with it, and seems common online, the oil tank is prone to leaking. I find it only really happens if the...

    Generator Integration to House Power

    This is something I have been wondering about, I have an old twin cylinder Lister driven generator, and have been wondering about running it on heating oil. Do you add any lubricating oil to the heating oil when you use it? At the moment mine is more of a prep, and have only tried it on diesel...

    Homestead or smallholding?

    We have 2.5 acres and call it a small holding. Also a hobby farm. Keep sheep, pigs and various mainly ornamental birds. Also a small veg plot and various bits of machinery. Need a real job to pay the bills and buy the animal feed though!

    Water collection options for the garden?

    For a garden scenario, and if you have space, I would look on facebook marketplace or similar for some plastic pallets, stack a few on top of each other near a guttering downpipes, and then put an IBC on top. That should give you enough height to gravity feed a small veg plot or similar.

    Quail prep

    Love keeping/rearing birds. I kept quail for a few years some time ago, to be honest I found there were more productive birds to be reared if doing it for a purely food point of view. Even on a small scale, bantams or chicken breeds. The quail were great entertainment, we had European and Texas...

    New knife laws

    Just when you think this country can't get any more ridiculous.... I thought chicken registration was bad, but banning 'machetes' because of feral youths stabbing each other with kitchen knives is more insane

    Compulsory registration for all British bird keepers proposed

    How many bird flu outbreaks have there been in back yard flocks, I don't recall many if any, maybe the guy in Devon who caught bird flu, but then from memory his ducks actually lived in his house with him? Seems reminiscent of the whole covid isolation lockdown rubbish to me, trigger happy...

    Preparing for troubled times ahead - Advice on what is needed.....

    Having a generator, and using it when it is likely to attract the wrong attention are two different things, to rule out having one based on one unlikely eventuality which could be avoided by simply not using the generator in that situation seems silly.

    Reloading your own cartridges.

    Strangely, I got pretty good accuracy with Magtech factory loads, which were just a hollow cup type slug, in front of a fibre wad!
