Damn sight nicer looking than my first effort. Well done, mate. :) Will.

Nice one Matt, thanks for sharing. Just last weekend, my kids learnt how to make a featherstick good enough to take from a firesteel. They've also taken to collecting fluffy seed-heads while we're walking the dogs. The look on their faces shows just why its worth persevering. Great fun all round. :)

Never even thought about Matalan for books until my mate was showing off a bird book that came complete with birdsong CD for a couple of quid. Bargain. Yep, missed out, as usual. Will.

Now that is a lovely looking wood, nice tidy work too, well done. :) Will.

Really nice, I like it a lot. :) What wood did you use for it? Will.

Welcome mate, nice list of hobbies. :) Will.

Hiya Lightfoot, Difficult for me to plan any trips out this year, my little jaunts will always be at short notice. But next year, I'm hoping I get chance to meet up with some of you fellas. Won't be bringing the missus though, I promise. :)

Sounds great, hope everything goes well for you guys. Wouldn't mind tagging along some time in the future, too. :) Will

There's a world of difference between wind-resistant and wind-proof, but I think I'll keep an eye on this thread in case someone happens to buy one and review it. Any volunteers? :) Will.

Getting near the big 4-0 myself, but there's plenty of old farts on here so you're in good company. Welcome! :) Will.

It's great to see them flitting about, isn't it? Seen plenty of swallows returning too, lovely time of year. :)

Let us know when it arrives, I'll start a sweep on how long you manage to keep hold of it. lol :)

Thats exactly what the leather case is supposed to prevent. lol Thats why I've got two of them. I'll find a link for the olive green one and post it when I can. Will

Sorry to hear you've lost 'em mate, thought about buying new rather than second-hand? You can get some as cheap as 15 quid, in a nice bushcraft-friendly colour too. Afraid I like mine too much to part with. Happy shopping. :)

Ye gods, if that's your first, I'm not bothering making any more. Puts my meagre efforts to shame, very well done mate. Of course, I hate you, naturally. :) Will
