I must admit that I have not read all the posts here, but an interesting documentary on the subject of the global seed market in general can be watched here: http://www.filmsforaction.org/watch/seeds_of_freedom_2012/ Basically, it describes how large corporations have convinced many farmers...

I've made the bacon & chive bread last week and it came out really well. I used lobster ale and the only thing I might change next time is add more bacon.

The wife squealed more than the rabbit! Really good video, thanks for showing Torc!

Lingonberry jam is a big favourite here. Brown sauce is also very common.

Kiitos paljon! Some nice info in the links.

Spent most of today reading this thread, very interesting stuff! Coincidentally a friend told me a very unsettling story last Tuesday that fits right in.. We (the girlfriend, our friend and me) went for a walk to look at a group of baby squirrels I had found a couple days previous (forgot...

The idea of the campervan is that the country I currently live in is very rural up north and it should be relatively easy to find a secluded spot where hardly anyone will wander by. The whole campervan idea was just an initial thought after seeing the show, as I really cannot see any...

I've just watched the show and the first thing I noticed is the importance most people tend to place on guns rather than basic survival skills. Medical skills, knowledge of plants/animals herbs, tracking, psychology to name a few would be far more important I'd think? Also the fact that they...

So.. What about the track being "too large" for this particular specimen? Or did I misread that the skull and paw mark were not of one and the same? In hindsight I suppose a Puma would make perfect sense, the colours mean it does not stand out all that much, and even if there are sightings they...

Yes - daylight does become an issue later on in the year. I have been to Lapland in December '09 and we had a couple of hours of "grey" each day. It was quite warm the week I was there though (-5, while the week before it had been -15), when it is colder the sky is usually clear so a little more...

That is absolutely amazing! I once was fortunate enough to see one catch a rabbit from up close, wasn't disturbed the slightest by me walking by. Stunning birds they are!

The only downside being that it cannot provide light during the night.. It does seem to work surprisingly well though. I wonder if the water/bottle will turn murky or green though.

Thanks everyone for the replies so far. We have once been babysitting a small snake and I was perfectly fine with that as well and even grew a strange kind of liking to it (as long as I did not have to handle it). It seems like the people who have no fear have encountered snakes a couple of...

On Saturday we were picking acorns from my girlfriend's dad's garden (a decently sized garden taken back by the forest) when her dad warned me to watch out near the twig piles, because he had a couple of adders and grass snakes living in his garden. At this point I instantly froze and could not...

My initial thought after seeing the picture is a Buzzard or a female kestrel. Although I think that together with Sparrowhawk they all look very similar. For those saying Sparrowhawk, could you please tell how you got to this conclusion? (not trying to challenge your identifications, merely...
