    top flap/pocket

    Has any one got an old top flap off of a bergen they don't want? I lost the one off of my old lowe alpine 120 a few house moves ago. I dont suppose it has to be an exact match, I'll probably be able to make it fit. Doesn't matter if its a bit tatty either. I dunno what Ive got to swap it for...

    wild camping in hungary

    Looks quite similar country to Somerset doesn't it? Im thinking of the Mendips looking down to the Levels and Bristol Channel (Mor Hafran in Welsh!). Looks lovely mate.

    Brilliant mate. Simple, well crafted and elegant...If I tried to build something like that it'd look like a rickety piece of cr*p !

    Realy dumb question?

    Yeah, that's pretty much the situation I was in when the roadkill badger incident occurred, that and the skips behind the local co-op kept me going. Never had snails though, I did make an attempt to gather some not so long ago and purge them and all that but by then my situation had improved so...

    Realy dumb question?

    I must admit to eating a road kill badger once upon a time through necessity . It was surprisingly good once it had been curried (gen). Iv'e heard since that roasted badger was eaten in Somerset back in the day. Anyone else of that? Fox though I have yet to sample.

    Bushcraft and allotments

    You could always grow your allotment into an edible forest (look it up) The main thing is just sit back and enjoy watching stuff grow!

    Crayfish

    To be honest mate I really could'nt see any self respecting water bailiff having a problem with you clearing out some American crayfish. Try hand lining for them, all you need to do is tie a bit of old macral onto a piece of string and you'll end up with buckets full of the damned things! I...
