    What did you buy today?

    The sale of lead shot is being banned in the UK. Because my old shotgun has an adjustable choke it won’t fire the alternative mild steel shot

    Farmer sprays cyclist wild camper.

    Only trespass which is a civil matter. Strangely it has nothing to do with your respect or lack of respect for the land and its flora or fauna. It is the act of infringing the title holder’s rights regarding that parcel of land. Some of the other behaviours that you mention would be criminal...

    Plant I.D, Weld, Reseda luteola

    Don’t be ashamed, the only stupid question is the one that you don’t ask. I wouldn’t have known that off the top of my head either and by putting the picture out there I’ve learned something new as well.

    YOYTi. (Why titanium?)

    They burn your lips because they conduct heat too effectively. If you’ve ever had tea out of one of those French canteen cups you’ll know exactly what I mean. The cup burns your lips right up until the drink and cup reach a kind of temperature equilibrium

    YOYTi. (Why titanium?)

    I’m very happy to say that I don’t own a spork, what I would add is that with cutlery it is as much about the manufacture and finishing as it is about the material. Aluminium and titanium cups are the devils work. Currently I use a twin wall insulated s/s mug by eagle products. It’s only...

    Farmer sprays cyclist wild camper.

    But because you know that’s what he does and you still take your car to him it implies consent. Without that implied consent it is a different matter. I get the feeling that Leon is your friend rather than some random bloke abusing your trust/rights to property . That isn’t really what this...

    What did you buy today?

    A big box of number 5 shotgun shells and a couple of smaller boxes of B sized shotgun shells. I’m planning to beat the ban.

    Pocket Rocket woes

    Question, do you allow the gas to run out completely before changing canisters? If so this may be your issue. As the pressure slowly reduces (rather than being shut off) it can coke up the jet. MSR have great customer service and they would be able to give you all the helpful advice that you...

    Farmer sprays cyclist wild camper.

    The text mentions two legitimate camp sites within a kilometre of each other, perhaps he moved on to one of these in order to use the showers afterwards. If the farmer had been intending to spread the whole field then I would say it was just the cycle-camper’s bad luck to be there at the wrong...

    Hot Tent Stoves - Wood Consumption?

    That’s one of them, there is also a much larger version where the matching cooking pots sit inside holes in the top to cook large batches of food. The build quality is poor but the design is well thought out.

    Arthritis adaptions that you have had to make.

    It seems to go with the territory, a few past broken bones particularly in my shoulder are getting arthritis but I’m not in the position of being unable to do things…yet (I’m only 55) It makes me push myself more. I was once told “use it or lose it“ which may be utter ******** and I may be...

    New hiking boots, reccomendations

    I’ve been getting my boots from them for as long as I remember. They’re not the cheapest but if you’re involved in the scouts, DofE or the outdoor recreation industry at their discretion they may give you a 10% discount if you ask nicely.
