Some of you may have noticed that I have been a bit quiet over the past few months (not that its a bad thing!) I have been devoting a huge chunk of my time to moving house. The landlord dropped it on us that, after telling us that while we were renting the house he would never sell it, he...

Well my trusty Berghaus Nomad has finally been relegated to carrying my fishing tackle and shore foraging kit. It has given me many years of use and has travelled the globe with me as hand luggage and on my motorbike. It has seen one wash too many and is starting to look a bit to shabby and...

OK, I wasn't sure where to post this as its not an advert but rather just an attempt to draw this to the attention of members on the lookout for an "Off The Grid" property. I am currently house hunting on Arran and this place caught my eye so we decided to take a look. The small holding has a...

A few weeks ago I was walking along a forestry track when I spotted some sort of spiky growth on the trunk of a tree. I took a couple of photos but thought it might just have need a load of pine needles stuck to a sap oozing wound on the tree. It wasn't until I saw the same thing sprouting out...

Well I have to say this is long overdue and I apologise to Fiona (xylaria) for not getting it done sooner but I have had internet and weather issues. The first thing I thought when I opened my package from Stupidly Simple was "Oh hell, she wasn't kidding, I really do have to do a review"!! as I...

Some of you may have noticed I have not been about for a while. This is due to lightning striking our local exchange and knocking out half the phone lines. We have been without phones or broadband for 2 weeks now and I was told yesterday to not expect to be back on within the next 3-4 weeks...

I am on the look out for a new jacket. My old British army green jacket has seen its last days. I went to put it on this afternoon to go out for a walk and my arm went through the armpit area. On closer inspection the material is well past saving and it was just one hole too many. My missus...

Well I'm taking a breather from the harvest. I have a bumper crop of Haws, rowans and brambles. I've made so much bramble jam that I've run out of small Kilner jars and the local hardware shop wont be getting any more in for a few weeks. Oh the joys of living on an island. I think I can afford...

I posted this originally in another thread but thought it was a bit of a cheeky hijack so decided to post here instead I've never done anything with rosehips before. I remember my nan making stacks of rosehip jelly and I thought it was fantastic. I wouldn't min having a go at making some...

Well its coming around to that time again when I need a need pair of boots. I was out at the weekend and my footwear is no longer up to the task and are now leaking water through the seams. The rubber toe cap is pulling away from the leather. Although my boots get cleaned after every outing and...

I was wondering if anyone knew where to get a bulk supply of military ration packs? They are handy for days out in the winter or keeping in the car for the odd eventuality. I do drive a land rover afterall:lmao:
