    Maybe an obvious question but - fire starting....

    I can't tell how many times my Zippo has evaporated to dry. It's still dry, and still in my pocket, but now I have a small tin of fluid in my bag, for when I need it.

    Oddest things found in the woods?

    Part of my job is to pick up and dispose of roadkill. Devilish as I am, now I will have to go to the thriftshop, buy some necklaces, and dispose of the carcasses in more creative places, than the dump!

    What to make from an old squirrel coat

    Olympus E620

    Another happy e-410 user here. Always had Olympus 35mm equipment, prior. Still have it, and it mates--sort of--to the digital, with an adapter. Just after I'd purchased it, I had a request to do some IR photography. I was looking for ways to shoot the job, and found this site...

    Prossibly a silly question?

    I don't know about Hereford, but where I am, if you were to approach a ranger, explain what you want to do, and ask how to do it legally, you'd get pointed in the right direction--even if only to find that the only way to do it legally, is as a student in a wilderness survival class. Good luck!

    Hunter Shot Dead by Hunters

    Shot with an air rifle? He would have lived, IF they hadn't gutted him.
