I've got a oldish singer 660 A1 sewing machine. I bought it for 50 pound to make tarps etc. But not having used many sewing machines before I found it runs way to fast for me to have much control over. I've given it a bit of a service and changed the needle size so it will now use standard...

I've been thinking about this for a long time now. I'm ninety percent sure that I've got a wild cat living very near to me. I'm quite sure I saw it on Sunday, and I've seen it's prints. I was talking to a mate at work who's lived here all his life. He's comments were, if there's one...

I'd be up for it. Sounds a good idea.

I've been wondering whats happened to Abe. I also noticed his website is down.

Just came across this site http://www.bushcraftwiki.com Does any one know about it? What is a wiki? Only had a quick browse, but it seems a good site.

Yep still try to give a click every day. (that reminds me........)

Sounds like you had a great time.

Entirely obvious... Dude, great picture, and I like the title. Do you know the lady in the picture?

Tengu when you get them it might worth doing a bit research on the net as some of them may be quite collectable and have a price tag to match.

Yeah I seem to be getting a bit of a library on survival and bushcraft books. Especially when I'm gonna have to send them to Oz in a years time.

Wow there's a lot of opinion's, maybe we should have a poll. I for one would be interested to see what the overall opinion would be.

Great looking piece, just been studying your photo looks cleverly put together. Have you used it?

Well I've been having a bit of a tough time of late and thought I might try "Overcoming Depression by Paul Gilbert. " Then I thought I might get "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche" as I've been curious about buddism for a while. While I was there I also got Mor's book...

Sorry Stuart what's a false edge?? :confused:

Loving the list of books, just been on amazon and bought some of these books.

I have to agree with wayland. I to have found that the vinegar trick works great and now I only make sure that the cutting edge is nice and shiny. Oh and is sharp.

I wasn't in the scouts but I was in the cubs for a number of years. I can't speak for it now but I had some great times. I became a six leader and was very proud that even though my six got into a lot of mischief we won the trophy for being smart, and having our bit's of "survival stuff"...

Hmmm, I think I would have to say that my first books were Enid Blyton. They probably were life changing. They tought me to read. (not write though), and gave me a form of escape from my childhood. They also gave me a desire for adventure. I think one of my favourites was "five run away...

Sounds like an australian swag. I slept in one for month's while traveling. One of my most comfertable beds. Unfortunatly I had to leave it behind when I came over. The only problem is they can be quite heavy, and bulky. It was great for me as I was travelling in a four wheel drive. I have...
