It will be were the heather has been flailed, like Toddy said it is to encourage new grow for grouse. It would seem the gamekeeper was feeling creative when they did that. They flail when they have been denied permissions to burn by Natural England. From what I have seen it seems to encourage...

My girlfriend made this out of 3 and a half pallets this summer, we just used screws and glue but could have just screwed it.

For the Dark Peak your best bet is Birmingham to Manchester or Sheffield and then look to go to Edale for Kinder, Glossop for Bleaklow. Or for the White Peak you can get to Buxton and look at buses from there. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Thread line through left and bottom hole, pull through and tie to right hole - I think, or could be the otherway round.

Well I saw this exciting new bushcraft product yesterday and had to share it with you. :lmao: I just cannot see her chewing dried meat :) Has anyone else captured an unlikely "celebrity" product? If so please share!!! Cheers James (Mods - I thought this was too trivial to go in the Lovely...

Hi I can remember some time ago there was a tread about where to get the Tabasco sauce mini bottles from. They are available on the eBay but yesterday I noticed they were available from Selfridges for £3.99 for 6. Which is the cheapest I have found. Hope this is of some use to you Cheers...

This could all get very confusing but it's not Briar as in the wood pipes are made from. They are made from the roots of the Tree Heath Erica arboria. It is Briar as in the generic term for a "Briar or brier is a common name for a number of unrelated thicket-forming thorny plants, including...

According to the Soulpad website they advise having 60cm of flu between the stove and flashing, so I imagine the gasses lose heat quickly. But I think it is also advised to have a damper on the chimney, this helps control burn and prevent flames racing up the flu which would damage the...

Hi I have recently been thinking about investing in a tent and stove. However I found the price of stoves very off putting, as a result I did a bit of research and got round to thinking that I would be better of building my own stove. I had been looking at the Soulpad Blaze and the Flue Kit...

Hi All, this is my first attempt at making anything "Bushcrafty". After sharpening my Billhook using tips from British Red's thread in the edged tools forum, I thought it prudent to make a cover for it. I was considering leather but found some 5mm blockboard in the shed and using glue and...
