Don’t know about breeds but all my two dozen plus cats have been rescue or strays. The black male cats I have had are very affectionate but also very keen hunters. “Rescues” the behaviour is a function of how they have been treated. My current pair of cats were very shy on arrival. After two...

Thanks for the heads up. I hadn’t heard of this before.

I have a cheap kitchen devil that is wedged into bit of garden hose. Point ground down and a lanyard hole drilled through the handle. I used to buy a box from the supermarket and make a bunch as work knives when I was a full time offshore diver. I found one in my kit the other day and I shall...

Probably because of the extreme cheapness of the bcb folding stove that can also fit mess tins.

I kind of still do. Not that I have lots of stoves or anything…. ;) I am absolutely not sitting in the woods with an esbit stove at the moment.

Not so much made as modified a PLCE sh1tbin to be a bit nicer. Simple thing and a bit of simple sewing. 1) Thin shock cord around the pouch and under the daysack yoke. A little bit of compression. Secures back pad and somewhere to stow a jacket. 2) Back pad. Folded foam seat pad behind the...

EBay seller: woodlorien Makes lids for various pots, with and without strainer to request. About £11 plus postage. I’ve bought a few things from them over the years. Stuff is made to order so there maybe a wait.

The jacket and gaiters have been fine. Current weather has meant they are out of use but I have not had to repair them yet. Most kit I have needs a bit of TLC after a couple of seasons. My expectation with the gaiters was that the underfoot strap would tear off and the Velcro fastening would...

I quite like a small unobtrusive bag for travel and for bushcraft the temptation to carry more stuff. The 18 is what I have for hot weather minimal kit. If I am out I have canteens on a belt with a bit more in the pack plus items for sun and insects. Back support is minimal so having several...

Long term use review of the Eurohike Ratio 10 & 18 pack. These are a pair of very similar small, cheap (under a tenner on sale) day packs. About 10L & 18L volume respectively. These are a few years old and the current version has some cosmetic changes. The 18 has been hammered a bit more and...

I spotted a Flying Gurnard, although it wasn’t flying. A couple of hermit crabs have a disputed over housing, kept me entertained for sometime. Especially as they were dodging Wrasse between bouts.

Common octopus, I shall see if I can track it for the next few days. Lots of shell spoil and occasional crunching are the clues. ;)

The foxes around me give me a lot of entertainment. I’ve had a family at the end of my garden for a at least five years and the Vixen is very identifiable. Even if I can’t see them I can hear the family “discussions”. Buried a couple of youngsters over the years. A certain charity also releases...

Dog egg. Technically spawns a Wolf but they can be tamed.

Yeah I’ve had a couple of different styles of Solognac trousers. Definitely best to try them on. Sizing seems inconsistent. I wish more of them had zip cargo pockets on both legs. Otherswise perfect.
