    Lobster/crab/prawn Pots

    No probs mate. If you want to extend the life of the pot. Get some polyprop rope and wrap it around the bottom of the pot as this will stop the netting from getting trashed if you drag it along a rough bottom. takes a while to weave it in and out but is worth it.

    canoeing???

    Not really much in the way of decent rivers in Somerset It would be worth the effort taking it to the Wye over the bridge. Not sure what part of Somerset you are from. The Congresbury Yeo, Congresbury has access so you won’t get any hassle paddling but it's not very long and you would not...

    Lobster/crab/prawn Pots

    Once you have a cuttlefish in your pot they will attract others in. But the problem is getting one in your pot in the first place. Most baits will do but adding a old CD as a lure is he norm.

    Bushcraft in Bristol

    Rowberrow is a nice wood. mostly pine type trees in striaght rows but does have some beach woodland. Would be quite poplar on weekends. No more than any other wood around the area though. Quite a lot of logging going on there at the moment and probaly 1/4 of what is shown on the map is chopped...

    the hand drill

    I think it depends on the amount of decay and the type of wood used. For instance green cut Ivy in my opinion is not a touch on dead hanging ivy but with to much rot it will crumble and not produce an ember.

    Bushcraft in Bristol

    Hi I know where you are coming from with the lack of places to go around the Bristol area. I have been into all this for over ten years and I have not found one yet. There are plenty of places to go out for the day but not much, if any in the way of camping. I would say that...
