Mate, I don't think there's anything to apologise for! You stimulated a debate that clarified a point - a community in action! As an aside, it's got to be said that if the University that Andy's is studying at is anything like the ones I've worked at, he's probably breaking the rules on...

Just to confirm that Moornaker are great on the phone - great service, and a real character on the phone The axe itself seems to polarise opinion - some love it, some hate it and dismiss it as just a splitting tool. I've found it to be useful and versatile - not particularly optimised for any...

On the other hand, it's good to try to get used to dealing safely with unexpected distractions When sitting and carving quietly in the woods, I've been startled by bird staking flight, or a deer taking off after smelling me cos the wind has changed, or other sudden noises - but I've still got...

Having though about it, but would like to come along!

Yep, had a difficult few months with sickness in the family and all the hassle that goes with keeping everything together with no back up But things are smoothing over now - thanks all for the concern

Lots of great advice in this thread, basically boiling down to these words of wisdom: All I'd add is that you should match your input to your output - more food if you're active, less if you're not Also, perhaps a bit controversially, if you're very active then vitamin supplements are...

One of the two facts in this sentence is true, the other false :?: Emdiesse, you owe it to yourself to sign up to BB to find out which is which :biggthump

So you haven't lost the "Christmas excess" then :rolmao: :rolmao:

I've been wondering about this - how does Torin cope when you're away on expedition?

I used to get really cross whenever I heard that story - how can you think ill of your faithful hound? Course, now I'm a dad I reckon Llewelyn should be locked up for leaving his nipper home alone - I mean, what would the social think if I left my kids at home with the cat looking after them...

Yep, I'm another fan of the Tikka Plus - I've found that wearing it over my cap means that the peak stops the light from the torch spilling into my eyes

Hi Web :wave: I think the thrust of Martyn's critique is that he doesn't feel that the North Star is the mythical "one knife" for bushcraft But then, Reid has also said that he finds it difficult to do some things with the North Star :?: I've got a slojd knife by Frosts which is a...
