Not been on this forum for a while, but used to frequent these parts some years back. The 'gift it on' and any kind of thread about making stuff generally. I even made a Toddy shirt back in the day! Jump to today and I'm on holiday with my wife and kids, and being a bit of a history nerd we...

And the verdict is........ it's not entirely terrible. Good: The shape is great, very useful. Material is decent, not too thick. Sealed seams. Webbing tabs and gussets on all corners. Stitching is adequate but not the neatest. The poles are reasonable quality, but I wouldn't use them so that's...

Aah knackers :lmao: and there's me thinking I'd been clever! I'll pop it up tonight and let you know my thoughts later. :) James

I've just found this in my local Lidl, I thought it was worth a punt at £19.99!! 4.3m x 3.5m, PU coated polyurethane, 2000mm hydrostatic head, winged shape by the looks of it. Comes with poles and guys, which I'll probably bin off/ replace. If it's total carp then it'll do for a shade shelter...

Not bushcraft related in the slightest, but yesterday I found the diamond that fell out of my wifes engagement ring last September!!! Our washing machine leaked and while I was clearing up the flood I found it in a crack between our wooden floor and the skirting board in the laundry room...

For weight management (eithr on or off) = Diet, diet, diet. not necessarily low calorie, just an appropriate food intake for what ever your goal is. For fitness = Cardio exercise For strength = Weights. I like the 5x5 program, google it. It works. Or a combo of the above to suit your goals. I...

Evening folks, As title really, I'm planning a Dads and Lads weekend with 2 of my best friends and our boys. One son is an Explorer Scout and wants to get out and practice as much as he can! My son is only 3 so I just want him to spend as much time as possible amongst nature at this stage...

aaaaand finally..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AceoEk8hSF0 This is the first brew I did in it too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgDMURdya5c

Hurrah!! There was me trying to be clever, reading guides on how to do it, trying a million different ways that don't work. :banghead: All along there's a 'insert video' button in the post editor..... :goodnight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VCZzbR5QPM...

Cheers, yeah clearly that didn't work oops! Tried to embed them in the post, rather than a redirect link, but to no avail. links should work now at least, will keep trying to get them in the post directly....

Hi all, I know this is nothing terribly new or breaking any moulds, but after years of kit brewing I decided to build my own all grain system. I went for a 3 tier gravity fed system made from normal brew kit and household items. Cheap and cheerful is the way! I made a few videos of the...

Thanks to you both, great info. :) James

I picked up this at a carboot at the weekend as it looked very useful indeed! It came with one set of eyelet setting dies, the top half of which has damaged threads. I'd like to use this for hole punching as well as eyelet setting but can't seem to find and hole punches to go in it! Doesn't...

That was a concern for the grey stuff being used as a hammock, I think I'll find another use for it maybe make mini bivi tunnel. :)

I've decided to keep this gun, NO LONGER FOR SALE!!!

Hi folks, I've not been around this forum for a while, life getting in the way y'know! Anyway yesterday I popped into my favourite local material suppliers and found the PU coated nylon that I'd thought about buying on many occasions, to make a tarp out of was on offer. Usually £5/m they...

Well here's my V-Mach tuned Air Arms Prosport, .177. Beech stock. A lovely gun, super accurate in the right hands! Great for hunting or target work, this will not disappoint. Shooting at 11.4 ft/lbs with AA field pellets. Comes with sling, QD stud and barrel clamp. These are the proper...

Sorry to hear about your dog. I'll take the Diana pistol though, drop me a pm with payment details. all the best, James

Thanks guys, every upholsterer I speak to says it's worth at least £300, but they don't need another one or have just bought one! Hopefully someone needs it! James

Evening all, really need this gone so I'm trying again. It's a cracking machine, super tough, mega reliable. It's on ebay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/-/161936739395? But if anyone on here wants to offer me £150 before any bids hit the auction I'll cancel the listing. Collection...
