Did anyone ever do the beanburger version of sosmix? It could be made with an egg if you were vegetarian or oil if you were vegan and if properly hydrated, which took a while IIRC, was a very good fakeaway for the old Burger King beanburger, which I, as a commited carnivore, miss a lot. It...

Thanks all. More possibilities there than I'd imagined. I'd really love an original Reeve Aviator, but they're a tad pricey (last offer I had was £1200).

Is anyone aware of a smith making fixed blades in the style of Chris Reeve's offerings from the late Eighties? That would be a one-piece hollow handle type, preferably with change from a grand?

Tinned chicken dehydrates fairly well. Which probably says something nasty about the stuff. But you can make a passable curry with it. Wouldn't swear to the shelf life. Porridge makes a really good alternative to dhal (Indian lentils). Couple of tablespoonsful, chilli flakes and a handful of...

It's probably still in the garage/attic along with most of the other bits & pieces that were attached to my ex-mil Land Rover when I had it!

Have one (Military Howard II Pattern). I clearly remember searching for and finding the "tables" for it being one of the first practical things I ever did on the internet, so about '93-ish. And that was as far as it went.

Lighting up time was still being mentioned on the radio news/weather in my childhood, 1970s. The UK has only had a single, unified time setting since 1880.

I have to make mine in semi-secrecy, otherwise the Mrs. eats it all. She would never touch it until we got stuck in a wee ville in Brittany one Sunday evening with everything shut. I had crackers, rat pack cheese & a baggie of my teriyaki jerky in my ruck, upon which we dined that evening. Never...

Of course it is. But it in terms of getting something done, be it ordering a pizza (facile) or calling an ambulance (serious) it's not an adequate replacement for a phone service. See also speaking to specific individuals. You can negate the shortfall to a degree by having arrangements in...

Oh, they were well ahead of the curve on these. 21 years ahead to be exact! Info is all still online.

Indeed, but realistically, what are you going to do with it? As I say on social media regularly, I cover 160m to 70cm, legally, at home. It should keep working in many/most circumstances where I'm still able to operate it all, and on a good day I can speak to a random person half a world away...

Which is where you get into what "community" actually means. I'm tempted towards the belief that it's a lot closer to being a synonym for "tribe" than many in a functional, first world society are comfortable with.

This. But it is very much contrary to credo of many, I'd say most, people who call themselves 'preppers'.

And on it goes. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/ninja-swords-banned-by-summer-as-manifesto-commitment-delivered
