    Just a little tea light lantern I got from TEMU. Maybe not a posh UCO (sic) candle but it works for me.

    Forest schools are a failure.

    My 3 grandkids all spoke highly of it. Living in an urban conurbation it is the best of a bad job but way, way better then nothing at all.

    Whats the best grind for your ideal bushcraft knife?

    What sort of grind does your sharpening system produce? If it is a sharp grind/edge, then that's my choice. If you can produce 3 different "grinds" well, then its all good.

    Need to be taught better- woodland vandalism

    A sign saying "This woodland has adders" is just another way of inviting folk to claim compensation because they got bit and you knew! "There should be rangers" is folk saying some one should pay for this but not me. "Kids should know better" is hoping for the impossible. "Why do they do it" is...

    Electronic Bushcraft, Sourcing Energy and building Radio Communication from Earth

    All fine and dandy but they are limited to such low power. The ion sail is enough to power a satellite on its way ...but.. it only adds 0.00001 to its speed each day. Over years and tens of years it adds up but is is not enough to cook a bacon sandwich mind.

    WinterMoot 2024 - Festival of Outdoor Cookery

    "Tile Hill " is the nearest railway station. It is just a two platform baby station but trains from Coventry do stop there (as well as trains heading to Coventry) . If you are fit it's walkable being less than two miles. Taxi from the main Coventry station is doable.

    Voltage drops under load

    One way to boost the lower levels is to boost the higher off load levels way too high. 240 plus 10% is 264 so you are at the high end for sure. The reason the volts drop is they are being "lost" in the high resistance of the suppy. Chase your supplier.
