    Skirret : Anyone got any seeds to share?

    Chiltern seeds sell them by the packet: https://www.chilternseeds.co.uk/item_1365A_skirret They were very popular before being displaced by the potato. Apparently the roots are best left two growing seasons before lifting.

    What do you not eat that therefore makes you "weird"?

    Pizza, I just don't like the smell, the look, anything about it. Mushy peas, they turned my stomach the first time I was given them in nursery when I was 4 and still do now.

    What did you buy today?

    £9.99 in Aldi, looks quite stoutly made. They had 25, 44 and 50 litre that I could see. I thought this one could do for the back of my motorbike as well as any camping.

    Best Soap for repelling Insects

    Soaps made using Neem oil are effective from what I've read. I've not tried it but, it's something I want to try when making soap. I did a quick search and found this https://meaningfulchocolate.co.uk/products/soap-neem

    M77 Norwegian army boots

    I had several pairs of these in my teens and early 20s as my dad lives up in Harstad, Norway. Some of the most comfortable boots I ever owned, I wore the soles through on every pair! Getting a pair for that money is a steal.

    Bannock On Gas

    I'm glad I've eaten already because that would have certainly made me hungry otherwise!

    Bannock On Gas

    I haven't tried bannock this way but, I have made damper bread which is similar using a Trangia 27 meths stove and the matching trangia billy. The dough went in a greased small saucepan which was placed inside the billy lifted by pebbles (a trivet would be better), cooking foil was placed over...

    Multi tool, which one?

    None? I've seen a multitude of them from childhood and never seen/found one that's genuinely useful to be worthy of its price tag. A Tinker Swiss army knife is the closest I'll get and that only comes out if I need the phillips screwdriver part of it which is hardly ever. They're one amongst...
