That is a good video, thank you :) Does one of the IBCs have an overflow? How do you connect that, would it be down pipe sized I spose? One of my hoses is the same type of red food grade hose used in campers from when we had one, but when it's even a bit chilly out it gets super stiff to unwind.

Someone on a camper forum who said he worked for hoze lock said there is no legal requirements controlling what hosepipe is made from. This mentions legionella may be a risk too. I have a hoze lock pipe with a timer on it feeding my polytunnel drip system every morning, plus another connecting...

It is super tasty, even with no marinade :) Recipes in the Idiots Guide to Dehydrating say, once you've done the long and low temperature, to do it for a further 10 minutes at 275 degrees F to make sure you kill any remaining bugs.

I linked to a YT series of someone with good knowledge and experience sharing that to beginners in a structured way, with more time given to the theory than a one day on site beginners course. Watch, be informed. I didn't say watch and you're ready to keep bees.

The nearest bee keeping course to me is a short day, half outside. I thought that YT course I linked to was pretty good in comparison.

The Grey Bearded Green Beret has good content, he's recently been talking about caches locally to him so his BOB doesn't have to be so big. There's plenty of water round here so I have a water filter in the car to add to the bottles ready to go. Nalgene type bottles that are orange to avoid a...

In looking to start keeping honey bees I've nearly finished this YT beginners course. His tongue is a bit distracting but it's free to listen to. Spending some time on a beekeeping forum, nearly all there seem very against starting a hive but not maintaining it. They will grow then swarm...

One problem in my experience of wearing orange is it does attract bugs a lot more than yellow, which itself is quite bad sometimes. Although it doesn't agree the videos colour wheel theory, I think medium to dark blue shows up well in nature. although next to green on the wheel nothing in the...

I'm sure many here are familiar with trying to not be seen for whatever reason, and know something along the lines of the Shape Shine Silhouette Movement etc Being a biker, on the road being seen is much better than not and is often thought about, although this does of course apply to any road...

Isn't it the case that even if they have a UV blocker that only works one way round? So put inside out and the heat will come through? I suggest an invisible A frame tarp type shelter.

We had four together near our little pond last year, this year three. At one point they moved a little way off in a more sheltered area and I thought they may have been looking to nest. But has anyone seen a baby heron? Every one I've ever seen could be a carbon copy, no just out from the house...

The Ropery in Chatham Dockyard was a memorable visit a few years back.

A friend was thinking of using one to put a piece of wood inside, ends mostly plugged, then fill with steam in the hope he would shape it.

I watched quite a bit of this USA family longish term 4x4 touring with a posh trailer tent. Since I couldn't find the sort of gas heated shower they use in the clip below I decided on a stainless 12l bucket to heat water in and a rechargeable battery powered shower (which my wife uses at home...
