    Community Garden Vandalism

    You know what, it could be an idiot with a grudge, or it could be simply someone who wants to watch the world burn. There is a road I travel on time to time which has a house in certainly not the most well off area, but they have a wooden panel garden fence and on it they/someone, painted...

    What did you buy today?

    So nearish to us is Trago mills, I bought a padded check builders shirt for about £14. It's not the greatest fit for gorilla length arms, but I got as an overtop if I'm by campfires and I don't want sparks to burn my down jacket. Quite comfy actually.

    Bushcraft on YouTube

    It's the paradox or curse of success.... Make a video because it's fun and maybe you'll make a little bread on the side to fund your slight gear addiction....do somewhat well and get a following and as a result audience expect or want more...now you have to spend off time researching where to...

    So just to be clear.... not a fan then?

    Bushcraft on YouTube

    I think a lot of "this niche" keep cards close to their chest. It's not so much because they don't want to share knowledge, it's just more because if you don't ask the question in the right way, you won't get the answer because so much is open to interpretation... And again, because so much is...

    Medieval bushcraft in Scotland?

    As @Toddy said, small buildings, multiple people in one room, little privacy and animals in the living accommodation to protect animals and to share heat. One would imagine a horrifically smelly and dirty existence with a life expectancy level not too dissimilar to modern day Glasgow...

    What does it have in its Walletsies ?

    Usual stuffs, plus I carry a few just in case meds, likely a bunch of moths... What I carry on my keys (because it doesn't fit nicely in my wallet, but would if it did) is a disposable barrier for resuscitation, thankfully never needed it.

    What did you buy today?

    I love the way you've written this, it makes it sound like someone's going to come onto the forum saying they went out into the woods, set up for the night and woke up on the ground in the morning missing their hammock and knife :roflmao:

    Strapping kit to a rucksack?

    @Ozmundo :confused2: I don't get it... that just looks like an average day out...

    Strapping kit to a rucksack?

    Not sure if I said already, but typically the only thing I have "hanging" off my bag is a collapsible silicone doggo bowl. I've strapped the drone bag to the outside on a guaranteed summers day, but I don't like stuff that catches...

    What Food Combo's Do You Eat That Others Think Are Weird

    I'd put my money on surströmming being more divisive! :roflmao:

    What Food Combo's Do You Eat That Others Think Are Weird

    Well now that's just weird... haha. I love honey and have a few of various different flavours, so I can't fully mix them, I already feel like a heathen when I reach the marmite honey overlap divide... it'd be like adding coke to a single malt.

    I dont trust C4

    So, to go with your multiple email addresses, it's also wise to have multiple mobile phones and multiple numbers! The issue with that is that sometimes when buying a sim card they ask you for your address, which is why it's also important to have multiple addresses... ...multiple...

    Tape

    I carry a roll of electrical tape in my first aid kit. I played rugby for enough years and used it enough to warrant it having a useful title. I've used it kayaking to tape over my wedding ring - when my hands get cold I can take the ring off more easily... plus I suppose there is something to...

    Current thoughts on treatment of human bodies or body parts in museums?

    Hmmm I'm both for and against...the against pretty much echos everyone else, gawpers, disrespect etc... however.. As a youngster I went to London with my mum and dad who are/were very into all things history, we went about all the museums and I remember being very interested in most of the...

    Sixth Sense - What is it ?

    It's hard to write anything and not come across like someone who thinks they're special... I genuinely don't think I'm special, but I am very perceptive a lot of the time. I also seem to have a bit of foresight when it comes to others behaviours, especially when driving... I'll see the way cars...

    This is why landowners despair

    I note someone mentioned councils making it more difficult to dump waste being a small part of the problem. I would have to politely say I disagree. I have a waste disposal licence - I have had it renewing now annually for a few years, so exact terminology might be off.. It allows me to dispose...

    My wife makes a curry which has a whole load of apples in it, adds sultanas, cinnamon etc. You have to approach it without any "Indian curry" expectations, but it's blooming lovely!

    What Food Combo's Do You Eat That Others Think Are Weird

    Had to do some thinking, but, a piece of toast, honey on half of the face, then marmite on the other half of the same face, eat as you fancy... that bit in the middle which is a sweet marmite, or a marmitey honey is pretty divine if I don't say so myself... A little while ago I had avocado on...
