I was told by a herbalist the acidity of lemon juice helps extracts beneficials from the goosegrass... but there is likely no official research on the subject. Ginger (along with black pepper) is a very common addition to herbal medicine as an 'uptake blend', to help the body absorb the main...

I do a goosegrass infusionf every spring for a few weeks to help the liver and kidneys. Some animals have been noted to eat large quantities of it to detox. I haven't watched the video but some sliced lemon is a nice addition.

Esbit do a larger stormcooker with 1.8 and 2.3L pots- no hole for a gas burner, but I'm sure it could be converted. Quite an impressive bit of kit, with heat exchanger pots...

Aha! A human using AI to make a legitimate post! Half a mark to me ;) Apologies and welcome. I'll admit I'm not the best person to ask about fixed blade knives, I've played and worked (conservation/farming/various traditional crafts) outdoors all my life and never felt the need for anything...

It must be learning! Eeek! Seriously though sorry, it's not really my place, but some things just don't feel right. Possibly giving an explanatory title, the structure, the phrasing, the mix of carefully packaged facts with explainations and questions. Anyway I hope to be proved wrong, and...

The internet is getting a bit worrying- I genuinely can't work out if the original post is human or AI generated. My apologies if it's the former.

No, if you read back through the posts you have made, you'll note you have complained about the litter caused by wild camping on Dartmoor, and used this as a reason why similar access rights shouldn't be expanded across England. Despite this you have stated you would 'fight' to defend the...

Really mixed messages here. And yet due to irresponsible members of the public littering on Dartmoor, you think that similar access rights across England would be 'utterly rediculous', and those pushing for them are 'eaten with envy and jealousy', yet you would 'fight' to preserve this very...

Isn't that an example of problems arising and being dealt with, surely a productive and positive process? I can't deny that there needs to be greater education or even legislation to promote responsible behavior though, but that stands in England now, whether access is opened up or not...

And yet it works very well in Scotland and Scandinavia- do you have any direct experience of land access in these countries? And having described public land use and access rights in Scotland and Scandinavia as 'purely ridiculous' three times now, can you go into any more detail as to what you...

Interesting point this. When I was a child I was frequently told by adults that the world was a better place when they were young and everything nowadays had gone downhill. It was always in a tutting, scolding manner, as if it were my fault. Erm I wasn't the one who allowed it to happen or...

Oooh Arr, I'm zummat of a stranger to rooral loife. Here I am harvesting organic beans undersown with a lovely old variety of longstraw wheat, having stripped and reassembled a large part of the combine to replace a broken drum shaft and rebalance the impeller. Real responsible land use, grown...

You've edited your post to add a curious last comment, I assume you are suggesting people tend to get 'brainwashed' at university and emerge as liberal animal rights/climate activists? I was rather too busy studying naval architecture to be be brainwashed, or rather as hinted at in my previous...

Possibly, on the other hand possibly not. I come from a family heavily involved in organic farming, a sibling is world famous in regenerative agriculture, and I practise self-sufficiency from a C17th house made of oak trees, mud and hazel sticks and off grid apart from a cold tap above a Belfast...

On the other hand, why should anyone have the right to 'own' land and prevent others from accessing it? A true nutjob concept! Especially given that the majority of the English countryside is owned by people unfit to own and manage land. Food crops sprayed with poisons toxic to humans and...
