Hi Scruff, What is the internal depth of the firehose pouch? (I don't own the SAK you mention so I have no idea what that is in terms of other things- I have a Flexicut carving jack that could do with a case and wonder if it would fit). Cheers, GC

I got a set (fliplocks, cork-type handles, robust) from the Centre Aisle in Lidl last year, might be worth a look as it's the time of year they might get them back in. GC

Hmm, well, there's certainly no "ban" because as I said, I have just this week had sharp items delivered in the post, RM 24hr service, from a retailer who was doing so in a totally above board manner. (I cannot say what it's like for private senders as I've not tried to send any sharps...

It's strange, because this week I received an axe delivered from a UK maker by Royal Mail, box clearly marked "bladed item" and on aged verified service. All above board, clearly marked up. I wonder if perhaps those with business accounts and that sell bladed items (and who use on-line...

Yeah, certainly annoying. If they'd build the proposed Severn Barrage with a road/railway along the top it could be easy............:aarghh:. I suppose a hovercraft might be possible......... :D:D:D always fancied having a go in one of those little ones they use in Florida swamps.... (although...

Arrived today, its a lovely piece of making which feels good in the hand. I am sure it will get a lot of use :happy: GC

It's a really good tutorial. Over a couple of weekend days, I followed it and made a passable wood spirit. A bit rough around the edges like, but managed it. Will have to cut another stick from the hedge and do more......:cool: GC

There's Fabworks in Huddersfield. https://fabworks.co.uk/collections/wool-wool-blends/yorkshire?gad_source=1 I know it's online (unless you can travel to their millshop which isn't local fir you but still well worth a visit). Their online pictures are excellent, they have fabric weight info...

Very well done @Woody girl (and team), the hedging community seems very active in Devon so it's no mean feat. If you were closer I'd be tempted. (Ironically, I'm quite close as the crow flies, there's just this great lump of water in the intervening space). GC

Look like the Ladies version of KSBs, narrower last. I had some like that once, oh too many years ago to remember. GC

No, I don't think it will. You *might* get away with something like a "quirky camper" with style and mod cons, but not a car, kipping in a car is still roughing it no matter how fancy the mattress, and in fact gives less flexibility than a bigger tent which you can stand up in. You have not...

Yeah, very much this. To be fair, the govt guidance is very sensible, and arguably the basics of sensible living! But (especially in the cities) we've morphed into an ecosystem where everything is there on an app on demand. Want food or groceries? Decide you're feeling hungry? Use an app to...

Yes, the insurance thing is getting to be significant- that's a bit part of why I suggested an older diesel estate car. Lots of space in them but deeply unfashionable, can therefore pick up at a sensible cost, relatively low cost to insure (for the size) and 70mpg is not unusual. Given the cost...

I admit to being at a loss why a car rather than a van, tent or trailer tent, but.... If you must sleep in a car, a big older diesel estate will get you great mpg, very good range and with the seats down you get a space which is longer than you and wide enough for 2. Overall cost to run...

A toad, some swallows and several families of nesting sparrows.... GC

I don't think it's scaremongering so much as some serious people waking up to the reality of the potential for rolling power cuts in winters (as per the contingency plans on the govt website). As @lou1661 Says. GC

And many thanks for making this excellent document and sending it out @Kepis Looking forward to trying to carve a wood spirit...... GC
