    Badger signs?

    Thank you for replying and the hints and tips. I guess the final and conclusive proof will be a visual sighting. I plan to return in a week or two so I do not disturb them anymore than I may have done already by leaving my human scent in the area. I found the signs by accident as I was initially...

    Badger signs?

    Can anyone help me with any input/opinion/facts about what I may have discovered today? I do not mind if you shoot me down. I have always wanted to see a badger in the wild instead of road kill. I forgot to take a camera so no photos to help with identifying the following signs. I found some...

    A long overdue escape and a much needed restorative tonic.

    Where I overnighted it was like wildlife central, both day and night. I agree it was more than likely a Muntjac that Isla was growling at. There is a huge open grass area about 100 yards away. Dusk and dawn it was alive with deer, pheasant, hare and the odd fox. During the day a pair of common...

    A long overdue escape and a much needed restorative tonic.

    Mick721, you are right they are a heavy piece of kit. I was lucky to be able to get the car nearby during the day to unload. A case of a few trips, first tent and set up, then sleep system, cooking kit and food. The reverse order when packing up. Macaroon, she quite well trained and does as...

    A long overdue escape and a much needed restorative tonic.

    A much needed night out was needed. A chance to escape, relax and allow the inner self to recharge, reflect on recent events and work out a way forwards. I normally prefer to take the hammock but I was taking my dog out for her first overnighter. I figured it would be easier to keep an eye on...

    Avtur as stove fuel???

    I have not heard of AVTUR for ages. Recalling from memory AVTUR was originally 100% Kerosene before being replaced with a blend of Kerosene and naphtha or Kerosene and gasoline. Other names for AVTUR is JP1. Kerosene-type fuels include Jet A, Jet A-1, JP-5 and JP-8 while Naphtha-type jet fuels...

    They're here !!!!!

    The Tentsile Stingray got dropped off. I took it to work and spread it out on the workshop floor to inspect the stitching, webbing and seams. All checks out fine and to a very good standard. I should be able to put it up tomorrow but will not be able to spend the night due to family commitments...

    They're here !!!!!

    Just dragging up an old thread rather than start a fresh one, as 4 at least already exist on here. I have at my disposal one of these Tentsile Tents and wondered if anyone would be interested in an honest review? I have no connection to the manufacturer or retailer. The tent available to me is...

    I like that idea. I am interested and would be up for joining in. The area Santon Downham is only a couple of minutes away from my house. I also have an open canoe that will take two with kit if that helps? I could possibly lay my hands on a single open canoe, just need to sort transporting...

    Can't Use The Enter Key !!

    I have had the same problem on this and another forum I use. I have found that if I click the switch editor to source mode icon, the one that appears far left and looks like A/A, the one with out the red cross, has sorted it for me. Not sure I there is a setting I need to click on in my settings...

    Just thought I would drop by and say hello to you all. It would be great to put some faces to names and I will try to make the next meet. I live in Brandon and grew up not far from Glade School and Knappers Way but went to Forest School.

    animals recognising death

    Animals recognising death. The title caught my eye and I just had to read the posts. Not sure if this is in keeping with the thread or not but decided to share recent events. Many years ago we lost one of our cats due to being hit with a car. The other cat did go through about 2 weeks of being...
