Salmiak overload?

I’ve watched them all and very much enjoyed them. There have been other Jack Hargreaves snippets and full programmes also up on YouTube which I have happily consumed as well, but the other contributor’s content doesn’t seem to stay up very long, which is a real shame.

Did someone say “chicken”

A colourful winter garden visitor - Bullfinch on the honeysuckle:

We bought a dehydrator a couple of years back, although not the one in this thread. It’s been really useful for almost anything we have in glut from the garden - fruit and veg. Making things like your own tomato or chilli powder is great and a very space efficient storage solution. We still...

You could make yourself a sheath with an extra slot for your firesteel . One of mine: (knife by Elliot)

Yep. Make it all for proper satisfaction:)

That’s a lot of firewood :)

Got three books for Xmas, two of which could be connected with Bushcraft: “Rabbiting Man”, by Fred J Taylor. Read already. A paperback of approx 100 pages. Quite interesting, mainly about rabbiting experiences in the UK and Oz, and includes a lot of new-to-me recipes… “How to be asked again -...

I wear wellies (Muck boots with neoprene calf areas) in the autumn/winter when the fields are wet, for beating and rabbiting. They will never be as good a fit as lace up boots, but my feet stay a lot drier which is important when you’re afield all day. With a bit of practice walking and even...

Hen pheasant, I’d say.

….aaaaand tonight it’s another new malt to me: Penderyn single malt Welsh whiskey (Madeira finish). Quite different again, but strong and smooth, supplied in quite an art nouveau styled bottle. Very nice after a damp day’s beating. Cheers!

As a sometime hobby bowyer and fletcher (..leather worker, Horner….etc etc) the quiver and arrows look good to me. Perfectly primitive. The stiffener of the quiver is redolent of recent antiquity in North America, but evidence of the same kind of tech was found in other locations including...

What about a long narrow strip of corrugated (or plain) steel, loosely rolled on the axis of the corrugations (I.e the shorter side), placed with the corrugations vertical in a deep baking tray of an appropriate size? The corrugated metal forms a spiral in the tray, while the tray holds it in...

Watched and liked. I was wondering about playing with more natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. Do the tend to fall out of solution over time? It seems a shame to take some effort in clearing your tinctures if they only end up with a residue in the bottom of the bottle later. If you’ve...

Use them as the fruit in fruit flapjacks. The alcohol will be driven off, but you should still get a nice taste in the slabs.

In the quiet times I am re-reading the Brother Cadfael series of books by Ellis Peters. Wonderful, descriptive story telling

Liked and texts sent.

I have one - Walther Rotex RM8 - but would hardly classify myself as an expert. Better to just ask the question?

Received my order of three more micro fleece lined shirts by Hoggs of Fife - in Beech, Bramble, and Bracken colour ways. They are soooo comfy, warm and light that I felt I needed more of them for the upcoming colder season. They were also on sale at Hollands Country Clothing, who obliged with...
