All the best everyone in bushcraft land. I shall post again in 12 months whether it's needed or not. I feel it's going to be a great 2013 :) Dean

I'm glad I'm not the only one to dislike the word hero. That's not to say there aren't many well deserving of the title - so do we call them superhero's? I didn't want to make it a political post - I was just hoping someone had a bit more information on the subject.

The Daily Mirror is going with the above headline. Does anyone know anything more about this?

Good idea, I don't know why I didn't think of that. I'll be treating myself soon. Thank you.

flipping heck, I always miss the good stuff!

how about £80 delivered to the UK?

thinking about it and being fair to Lowa I should say: this is my first pair of big boys all leather boots. After a bit of impregnation and leg work they break in very nicely. Lowa's are built to last for many years and start off stiff, and I wasn't used to tightening boots quite as much as...

Hi Mark, thanks for the interest I normally take 9's so I bought these thinking 9.5's would be ok with thick socks. They were too big. I ended up buying 8.5 in Super Camp II. The bloke who I bought my 8.5's from said some people need a bigger size than normal and others smaller (he sells...

Congratulations to Shewie for pulling this off - you should be really proud of yourself, well done and thank you. Thanks also to the others who donated an extra prize, top work. And a big shout to Tony and the BCUK community for supporting this. And of course, maximum respect to the Heroes -...

"money invested in a commercial forest or actively farmed land becomes free of Inheritance Tax after you have owned it for two years. Commercial woodland is defined as property where timber from the forest will be actively marketed and sold" Wealthy private investors will be looking for a...

It seems genuine enough to me. I certainly signed. With this type of thing we won't find out the detail until it's too late. Some of the land could be sold to National Trust (if they have that sort of money?), but the reality is it's the start of the privatisation of public land.
