    What is an every day carry really when you get down to it?

    For me my every day carry depends on where I’m going. I will adjust things if I’m going to a larger town or city. The only time I’m not carrying a Swiss Army knife and ferro rod on my belt is if I know I’m going to a place where it is banned (eg college or courthouse).

    I had a swan frying pan with a wooden folding handle, I haven’t been able to find it for several years. It was excellent and I miss it.

    Farmer sprays cyclist wild camper.

    If we examine a lot of these milkshake/egg/manure assaults there is no actual injury, rather there is insult, mockery and inconvenience caused to the victims, nothing more than a bruised ego.

    Farmer sprays cyclist wild camper.

    If the land is owned by the National Trust or United Utilities you will find that there are Byelaws in place which allow them to remove or fine any person transgressing against those byelaws. These privately owned properties are either open access or permissive access, neither of which allow for...

    First time hammocker

    Perfect if you’re below the tree line in Scotland. I use one in my own woodland in Wales and I find it extremely comfortable.

    Bungee cords

    I use short loops of shock cord if I’m setting a tarp between two trees. It just helps maintain tension without stretching the paracord or over tightening knots

    Faux Fivers

    I’m of the opinion that I’ll accept anybody’s money. You’re right though, the level of distrust can be quite offensive.

    Fly deterrents?

    We open a window and eventually they leave. The window needs to be closed again before the light goes on or we get a disturbing number of moths, cockchafers and occasional hornets attracted by the light.

    Pocket Rocket woes

    I agree, strip it down and clean it with alcohol. They’re very simple. You have nothing to lose, worst case scenario; you break something that isn’t working properly anyway.

    Luckily small bore rifles used for hunting and pest control are exempt and can continue using lead. Target shooters are going to have to go over onto copper unless they’re at an indoor range that has an acceptable lead recovery policy.
