Yes. Dave Holder has studied it and written a book on the subject. He debunks a lot of the myths around “rabbit starvation” and long term survival food. Link to the book is here; https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thrive-Long-Term-Wilderness-Survival-Skills/dp/1777283809 He also had a lengthy...

Edging in a canoe is absolutely essential. Every turn you make, the same as a kayak you should edge. It just depends on how aggressive you need to be in what situation. Edging does come a little more naturally in a canoe though and most people don't realize hoe simple and easy it can be. Hull...

Generally airbags will do two things, they displace water and give you more buoyancy. Meaning your boat will sit higher out of the water and less water will swamp your boat if you do capsize. Those side airbags Roughneck has fitted will help with self rescue as they will support your weight...

Are you still talking about the knife? :coffee2:

Scones with cheese is surely reserved for soup is it not?

Great idea for a topic. I’d be keen to know if anyone has any tricks too. At the moment I make bacon in the fridge, but it takes up a fair amount of space. I have a smokehouse which I’m sure could work but how to convert it temporarily and without using too much electricity is the problem.

On offer; 1 pair of sheeps wool mittens. Never been used due to the fact they’re a little small for me. I’d guess size 8.

I’ve asked for some wildlife cameras. :-)

That is interesting, my father always used flubenvet layers pellets once every 4 months or so and it seemed to do the job. Maybe they never contracted tapeworm specifically? Ill bear that in mind for the future.

A few tricky subjects the past few months I think, wish I had more to enter!

Lets keep this bus moving then, I'll take the pan. :encourage:

Good question. Most of the frogs I’ve seen in any large quantity have always been in some disgusting water that wouldn’t make me want to consume them either way. Was watching this video that made me think about it, in this scenario I think so!

Interesting. I’ve eaten Rook before, it wasn’t bad but was masked by the stew it was in. I have wondered myself about common frogs though, lots of people eat bullfrogs but I wonder how common frog would be if it were even edible? Hmm

I found these images on Facebook pretty shocking… https://fb.watch/nOwuVNQbtN/

Distances are bigger out here! :-)

Flossing is semi regular here. Small estuaries and big tides mean the fields are usually flooded a few times a year. No roads closed yet due to water but we’ve had several trees down. One of which meant a detour of 1.5 hours to get home!

Some of it was put on Saturday evenings pizza. The rest will be used in various dishes this week as a substitute for meat.
