Regrets...I've had a Few

[Tricky]

1. Buyin a Cheap Axe
2 Gettin one o the Lads in the machine shop at work to put a really keen edge on it as it would have taken a month of sharpening using stones (it wouldnt even put a scratch on a piece of wood using its own weight when drawn along (no kidding)
3 Using it on something tougher that a sponge pudding

Tonight mathew i'll beDuane Dibbley's Teeth

He's the rather toothy character (other than Cat) that Danny John-Jules plays in Red Dwarf.... I think

[Tricky]

Regrets???

My tent.

Jack Wolfskin Tundra II.
It's okay I suppose, but I can never manage to get it up properly (oo-err, missus). always seem to have at least one panel which is slack. There was an instruction book with it, which I lost and I know that there's a "trick" to it which involves the order and positioning of the guys. Anyway, the result is leaks from the fly touching the inner where the tent isn't properly stressed. My previous cheap and nasty effort never caused me half the bother.

If you want a good axe, Gary's lot at BearClaw http://www.bearclawbushcraft.co.uk/trading/tools.htm do the Wetterlings at GOOD prices.
Just waiting for mine to turn up.

cheers for the link, sometimes u have to pay a little bit more for quality, and relying on a cheap'n'nasty piece of equipment is perhaps not the wisest thing when out and about

Lesson well and truly learned

Before getting into Bushcraft I started out being interested in SURVIVAL :yikes: yep shock horror got the gas mask, NBC suit blah blah blah...

American Survival Mag has a lot to answer for !!! bloody mag made me paranoid that the New World Order was coming. :AR15firin

Seriously though, I have spent money on things that probably/hopefully ! wont get used.

...wonder if I would get a buyer for an SAS nomex overall in the Wanted section

You'll be sorry you sold it all when the end comes! :twisted:

 

[SquirrelBoy]

... that will be just my luck !

Still got a hankering for a petrol generator though, oh and solar power, not to mention the under ground bunker with a years worth of food, short wave radio - here we go again :roll:

 

[ChrisKavanaugh]

1. Quietly gather intelligence on local survivalists 2. When things go bad sneak up with a rock as they oil their AK47s while wearing NBC survival suits. 3. Hit them HARD 4. REPEAT ( anybody this stupid must have thick heads with reduced cranial capacity) 5. steal supplies

 

[woodsitter]

What good is solar power in nuclear winter?
:roll:
I mean exept for the initial blast of course...

I mean exept for the initial blast of course...

That'd charge your batteries up!

 

[SquirrelBoy]

Not so long ago we had a shortage on petrol, massive ques at the pumps - well the ones that had petrol !
Also, I remember people stocking up on water/supplies in case of contaminated mains... makes you think.

So our little stoves could come in useful if we get short of fuel. Water filters we can use on the local stream etc.. and its all portable, not like a retreat in the hills packed to the hilt with supplies.

Like your style Chris - and that is just what would happen !

 

[jakunen]

Well here's an item I definitley don't regret!
My Wetterling turned up this morning. Well packed, fits the hand liek a glove, and boy is it good. It may be cheaper than a Gransfor, but it sure is good!
