I don't see the point. If it's over 12 ft lb it's FAC anyway, so you may as well just buy an FAC air rifle.

I'd hate to hear you put it rudely.

Yes, loads. Unfortunately none of them will ever be implemented. I suggest that allowing people to carry bigger knives is not a political priority in this country at the moment. When I go bushcrafting, I consider that good reason to carry a substantial fixed-blade knife. I've yet to encounter a...

Then what you're really asking is "Will accuracy of around 5m be good enough for my project?" Only you can answer that.

GPS accuracy is quite variable, depending on the antenna size, the signal quality, number of satellites visible, etc. It's perfectly good enough for navigation (’a few metres' is about right), but not for the kind of surveying work you're talking about. You'd need a differential GPS system: one...

This is a known issue with internal combustion engines.

My Nitecore HC90 has a red LED, which is ideal for night-vision saving. Not a cheap option, I know, but I'm not inclined to skimp on a headlight, as it might save me from breaking my fool neck one night, or disappearing into a bog. As it's infinitely variable in white light mode, it also...

Just finished this, and it's superb. A real love poem to wood, and quite inspiring, but also full of practical information. As soon as the rain stops I'll be out there working on my woodpile!

The most effective thing you can do is walk through a wood with someone who knows trees. They will not only show you the different species, but point out the key ways to identify them (leaves or zig-zag branches for oaks, long narrow serrated leaves for chestnuts,etc). The problem with books...

It's a lovely idea, and I'd hate to dampen your enthusiasm, but if I were planning an elaborate public proposal, I think I'd want to make awfully sure that I knew the answer first. Bit awkward if it's not what you were expecting.

I've used the Honey Stove for years with great success. It burns wood very efficiently, and if you don't have any dry firewood, it makes a great windshield / holder for a Trangia / Evernew meths burner, or solid fuel tablets and alcohol gel burned in a tealight holder. It packs flat and weighs...

A .177 air rifle is not really the tool for rabbits and squirrels unless you can make accurate headshots with it. This sounds like it would be much better suited to shooting beer cans off the garden fence, which is a delightful and worthy pursuit.
