When you mean short legged I presume you mean for wearing with wellies rather than for people with short legs? If so have a look at a pair of these Le Chameau Terre Neuve Overtrousers Mine have done a few seasons rough shooting and beating, heavy thorn proof and water proof material and to...

Three strand is easy to splice, either long splice (joining), eye splice (loops) or back splice (ends), it requires no special equipment other than knife, screwdriver, electrical tape and a gas lighter. Braded, multi plait and braid on braid are a little tricker especially small diameters, the...

panasonic hm-ta20, waterproof dustproof and drop proof. Not the greatest image quality but you can't have everything. Shop around and you could find one for under £100.

I have had my Bushnell Trail Cam out on the farm for the last two weeks and mannaged to capture the UK's big five!!!! Not exactly on the sub-saharan scale of wildlife but not bad for somewhere outside plymouth, I hope you enjoy..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Fz57...xk79Yd9jcJFMZF...

http://www.bushnell.com/products/trail-cameras/trophy-cam/ Here is the link, thr flash is IR and is fairly unobtrusive, all I can see is the LEDs glowing red.

I have a Bushnell trophy cam xlt, it was near my phesent feeders but I have moved it close to a badgers set, there are also a lot of deer tracks in the areas so I guess it is a case of wait and see, also I think a salt lick may improve my chances. Great picture of a rabbit...... Would love to...

Has anyone had much experience with trail cameras? My wife bought me a Bushnell trail cam for Christmas, but so far have not been terribly successful, two phesents, a stray cat and the neighbour walking her dog. Any tips on the camera settings etc. would be gratefully received, it would be great...

I have fjallraven cap which is made from G1000 and re-proofed it with Barbour thorn proof dressing, it worked a treat. Firstly I warmed the dressing and rubbed it onto the cap (but not too heavily) then tumble dryed, there was not so much dressing to give the greasy wax feeling but enough that...

Please can some one suggest a good place to by a traditional Flint and steel? Or does any one on here sell them privately? I have looked and all I can kind are kits with extra char cloth tinder etc etc, or just the steel on it's own. Many thanks Nick

I guess the "clunk" sounds loud only because your ear is right next to the spring, it is true that a moderator makes loads of difference once you stand a few meters away.

I have had a BSA superstar for several years, it's a little on the heavy side but prefer the under lever to break barels, they come moderated but as with all spring guns there is a resounding "clunk" as the spring is released. All in all a good spring gun if you follow the link someone has put...

Thats cool, how long is that barrel? I have no experience with .410 semi autos, but I guess it is zero recoil. 500 pellets must weigh about 750gms, with a 50% hit rate shooting small game would possibly provide 100kg of edible food giving 99.25kgs profit (not including weight of rifle)...

When I was a lad I had a Baikel .410 for harvesting game round the farm and loved it, with eley fourlong 6's there is no small game that you can't take cleanly, and if you add in subsonic cartridges and a silencer it is no louder than an air rifle with the ability to shoot flying/running supper...

Is there not a difference between "dog hunting" and hunting with dogs?

I use a Fjallraven Kanken Big for my Uni stuff, so far its kept files and laptop dry. With the retro look and a big choice of colours.
