Spotted this little guy catching some sun on the fence next to a gate

I put car keys and container key in one, and quad bike key in the other. May start putting air rifle magazines in the left one come to think of it....

Pretty much all the poison is going to be blue, it's one of the ways to tell it is poison. Grain bait is terrible as the rats just take it away and stash it without eating it. Is the block bait secured inside the bait box? You can usually put the blocks on a wire tent peg type affair to force...

Can I ask what type of bait you are putting in the bait boxes? (Grain/block/pasta)

I had much the same thought. I hope that we are wrong!

I have a pair of these that I use for work, excellent for the price

The article says they were using "straw type" water filters.

Thankyou for your thoughts Squidders. I'm looking at the zip entry rather than bottom entry. As far as suspension goes, I have whoopie slings on the tenth wonder at the moment so will likely do the same on the new hammock (after playing with the stock setup first...)

Looking for some advice on upgrading my hammock. I currently have a Tenth Wonder green hornet and I think I want something asymmetric to get a better lay. I have been looking at the Hennessy explorer XL and the blackbird xlc - is the blackbird really £100 better than the Hennessy? Has anyone...

I enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing!

And then shoot it from a crossbow?

Is it metallic or organic? Does it have a smell? Can you file a bit of it to get more info?

I saw my first swallow of the year today.

Take a couple of inflatable trees then - sorted! Seriously though, I think that with enough cordage and imagination it should be possible to rig at least a shallow plow point in most cases ( unless you find yourself in a flat desolate wasteland). All you need some sort of elevated tie off...

Also hope that the wind direction doesn't change
