If you go onto Paypals website (DON'T USE THE LINK) you will find a list of spam pop ups, emails etc that they are aware of (at least the last time I looked you could). Paypal say that unless an email etc is addressed to you by name, ie the account holders registered name, then ignore it as it...

Hill Bill,, i've just been reading through this thread again. Can you clarify, on the land you were shooting you make reference to a public footpath running through it. Does that mean you were shooting on private land for which you have permission, which has a public footpath running through it...

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one mate. I've been a cop for 24 yrs on specialist firearm units, trained instructor and NSRA instructor. I am only saying how it is! I've been on numerous training courses and many many court cases where reasonable excuse has been discussed. Shooting...

I'm not saying that your local Bobby may have turned a blind eye to it, and probably in rural locations a lot of them may use common sense. But to say it is not an offence is wrong, and someone could read your post/thoughts and take it as correct, and end up getting in serious trouble and at...

Hillbill I think you are misquoting the legislation and someone is going to get into serious trouble if they follow your interpretation. "It is an offence under Section 19 of the Firearms Act 1968 for anyone without lawful authority or reasonable excuse to have with him in a public place a...

I've been reading through various topics on the forum for the last half hour and started feeling a bit bushcrafty! So into the garden and jus pulled a few leaves off of the mint plant growing in a tub. Put them into a strainer and pored boiling water of them. I've just left them for five...

Well this afternoon I took my son fly fishing, we caught a few brown trout and on the way back to the car passed a good crop of wild garlic, so, picked a few leaves and then made our way home. I lit the bbq and while that was getting underway gutted the fish, then to make then ready for cooking...

Eat plenty of marmite and/or garlic, not neccessarily together. Works a treat.

A mate of mine works at a local hospital, we wanted some for making hobo stoves for the scouts so he just went and asked the kitchen staff, there were loads out near the bins from tomatoes etc. Most places that do catering will have plenty that they throw away, try local pubs, restaurants etc.

What do scouts do anyway? Well i'm the Scout Leader at our local troop and since April, our Scouts have done, Backwood cooking on open fires, produced a video for the website, had a water weekend camp down at Trent Lock sailing canoeing, kayaking and fire skills, tonight they're shooting, in...

Well I may not be Dutch but I was in a very similar position earlier this year. My son had just joined the scouts and then one evening I noticed on the troops website they wanted parent helpers, what a good excus to get out for the weekend passing on skills I had learned. I went to speak to the...

Just ordered mine, thanks for the link. Togger

Mainly for security. It helps to keep it secured to the sheath when attached to a belt, allows it to be worn around the neck, this concealed, when on scout camps, (i'm a scout leader), and in the wrist strap mode, you don't drop it!!

Yep, just done mine also and added some paracord, plaited to the size as a wrist loop, and when undone to wear around the neck. When worn around the neck I hink i'll loop one side around the sheath clip just in case it comes loose, it's a pretty sharp piece of kit! Togger

Thanks guy's, looks like the drills coming out. Regards

Okay, so this morning my new Mora bushcraft knife arrived, the one one with the black & green rubberised handle in a plastic sheath. I've gone for the carbon blade. I am thinking of drilling a hole to attach a lanyard. Has anyone drilled through the top of the handle of one so as to attach a...

I found a cure to my hayfever symptons...I used to suffer really badly, so bad that sometimes I would have to have days off work, went right back to my schooldays when I used to get sent home from school. A few years ago we went on a caravan rally and the field had just been cut before we got...
