    IBC Shower tote

    We have simple rechargeable immersive shower pump that is handy sometimes. Just fill a bucket with hot water and away you go.

    LR Discovery 4 Onwards - Any owners?

    They’re good motors, I have a 3 but would happily get a 4 if one came along. Cranks are not generally an issue I’ve read it’s happened to less than 3% but bad news travels fast and get exaggerated, so don’t let that out you off. As Dwardo has said, parts are cheap and if you get one that’s...

    One mackerel lure to rule them all?

    Hi Kirsty. If I were you I’d get a set of Toby spoons, the silver or gold in particular would be great for mackerel as well as wrasse, sea bass and pollack. Not to mention trout, pike, perch etc too!

    Grow your own spice rack!

    We went for ice cream today… Honey and fig was my choice! They grow their own figs and use local honey too!

    Smart 'phone apps for bushcraft.

    This is why I don’t use android. It’s in the dark ages! Hardly any apps and the hardware is terrible. iPhone or google phone can do more that all of that just using the hardware on the device :lmao:

    High r rating mat

    You could always put something like an old karrimat underneath it to help keep it clean, and offer a little more warmth too.

    High r rating mat

    How about a sheep skin? That should be nice and toasty for him.

    If there is one piece of kit that’s gone, you could bring back what is it ?

    Bergans Lavvo and it’s accessories…. I still have the tent, but I failed to purchase the floor and realise I made a mistake now.

    Surprising chicken facts

    Chicken mad fact… Hens sometimes “change” their sex and display rooster like behaviours crowing and fighting as if they have spurs sometimes even growing long colourful tail feathers and a comb! Dad had a chicken that did this we were baffled for a long while. Turns out it’s something to do...

    What knife(knives) do you use bushcrafting?

    I agree. And I would say that is a very good “order of use” as well. There are many tasks the knife is used for before heavy wood processing. It seems it’s fashionable at the moment amongst makers to produce 4mm thick oversized blades. Whilst they do look appealing when smashing apart bits of...

    What knife(knives) do you use bushcrafting?

    I currently use the same Enzo trapper I’ve had for about 14 years. Before that was a Bernie Garland (be interested to see if there’s still any about as I sold mine). I’m waiting on some custom work to come back at the moment though. To me that trapper will take some beating!

    Rainwater harvesting system

    Just use a rain water barrel tap? I used some when I made our IBC hot tub. The IBC tank is easily drilled out with a forstener bit and the tap goes on finger tight, 5 mins and you’re done. Although it doesn’t have a funny head on it!

    Stand Up paddleboard Advice??

    :swordfight: They’re definitely the best, just not affordable. A lot of folk just try and look for something different so they can be ahead of the trend. IMHO of course :beerchug: Depends which model you go for. Something like the Voyager is nice and slim. I think it’s a good choice for cutting...

    Stand Up paddleboard Advice??

    Yeah, go for an inflatable, I can’t remember the last time I saw anyone even on te river use a hard board now. Red paddle co or Jobe are making the best boards out there atm. They’re a little more pricey though. Mind you, I do have a friend who is an instructor and he uses one from...

    Can’t keep a good tree down

    I heard this this morning also. It’s great news, like the phoenix coming from the ashes. I’m not sure what would be better, 8 new trees or one sculpted to appear similar to the old one.
