If these weren't on ticket here (and Stlh374 wasn't in there already) I'd have this. Superb little rifles. I had a well uprated (all air weapons are FAC here, no point in staying 12 ft lb ) HW 80, break barrel for years. I probably potted more woodies with it than any other arm I've ever owned.

And historic military uniforms. Some of merchants concerned actually do a reasonably good job, others not so much. Some are good at some items, and dire at others. Sometimes it just depends on who's at the sewing machine that day. If you're the sort of person who isn't adverse to the odd trip to...

Yes & yes. There was little good to be said about growing up in NI at that time, but one thing that you could say was that if you had accident or incident that resulted in burns, GSW or traumatic amputation you had the most practiced and skilled medical staff in those specialties at hand. He...

Finger amputation via machete. Actually at a cadet "initiative" exercise way back in the early Eighties. Building a bridge over carnivorous tadpole infested waters. I'll never forget it - "ONE, I've cut my ****** finger off" "There's a wee yellow pouch on the top of my bergan, has pads and...

Yes. And I'm not sure that's a good thing!

A surprisingly large number. If you think more along the lines of a reversion to early industrialisation, rather than going all the way back to being hunter gatherers, a lot of the skills & technologies are still out there.

I doubt it would have much impact, certainly not the degree that War Game, Threads etc had. There's a fairly widespread consensus, in the prepping community as well as the wider population, that a major nuclear exchange just means staying in the basement for a fortnight and then coming out to a...

It also needs to adopt some sort of security to lock out rogue nodes, which is at odds with the "come one, come all" philosophy it's operated on to date.

It's a technology that interests me from the nerd POV but, and this is an important factor, I cannot for the life of me think what I would actually use it for! I've vague notions that I might be able run a packet BBS, but in all honesty the number of people likely to be interested is so...

Yup, I'll have that! Will pay immediately if you PM with details but I'd be happy if you left it a week or so to post. Travelling.

I'm getting it again.

Most of the analogue FM Baofeng radios available on Chinese sites will give you marine Ch. 16. MRTs are largely digital these days. As a caveat, using one on that frequency outside of a genuine life or death emergency is likely to put you in as much legal difficulty as the smoke/flare. Edit -...

I'll take those if you still have them!

I can see this ending messily chez nous.

I have several of the little manual espresso pumps that come from Chinese aggregate sites. Possibly a bit more 'faffy' than some of the other solutions here but it does make a reasonably good short, strong shot which you can then make long if you prefer. The latest one takes both ground and one...
