    Water purification woes...

    Sorry, just realised the only question in all that post was about fires. Fire isn’t the problem, it’s smoke. https://www.gov.uk/garden-bonfires-rules https://www.gov.uk/guidance/nuisance-smoke-how-councils-deal-with-complaints

    Water purification woes...

    Just back from visiting friends living off grid on land in Wales. They have spring water piped into their home but use one of these for non-boiled drinking. https://berkey-waterfilters.co.uk/?rfsn=4579074.d27bff Filtering to remove Protozoa and cysts and chemical treating to deal with...

    Does a lighter daysack to accompany berghaus centurio 45L make sense?

    Doesn't look like the Centurio 45 takes PLCE. It takes MMPS side pockets. Different compatibility, at least that is what folk are saying here: https://bushcraftuk.com/community/threads/side-pocket-compatibility-on-berghaus-centurio.123448/...

    Karrimore Side Pocket modification?

    Hey @johnny12345 , You didn’t reply and explain more about what you want done. Lets keep your project in this thread rather than sprinkle the same question into other folks' long dead threads. I admit I am disappointed that no one else has chimed in with info on pack sewing. I am sure I have...

    Hi @Growler88 Wouldn’t you prefer this in the designated Edged Tools Classified forum where it can be seen by all members, and even nonmembers? In here the ad is reaching only the paid members.

    What did you buy today?

    Nope. You are free to like what you like. I can state that I have a preference, and you don’t get to tell me my preference will depend on use case. :lmao:

    What did you buy today?

    Last night I got a bit of spending money, and put some towards a Spyderco UK Penknife Salt in Magnacut steel. I have been wanting one for ages, nearly bought the LC200N (Cronidur) version a couple of times, but wanted more edge holding and was willing to sacrifice ultimate corrosion resistance...

    Karrimore Side Pocket modification?

    What kind of gear, and do you mean that the "back" of the side pouches is the area between the 2 zips, that will be sandwiched between the pouch and the parent pack, or do you mean on the outside, away from the pack? I added some 1" webbing, like individual PALS points, on the outside of my...

    DIY - toolbox refurb / rust removal question

    Hi @Paul_B Do you know what the relationship is between the US toolbox company and the exclusive for Cromwell UK brand? Same name, different registered logo name. https://buykennedy.com/ Vs https://www.cromwell.co.uk/info/kennedy

    £60k penknife anyone??

    Should be stated, that thing that @Nice65 shows is a 9lb, 12" across sales demo piece, not a real pocket knife. Whereas the knife in the opening video is quite different.

    Cheap knives Uk?

    Definitely not a UK company. I tend not to trust companies that pretend to be somewhere they are not.

    Pine martin release on dartmoor.

    Every living thing is working just as hard as it can to upset the so called "balance". Well...maybe not sloths, but everything else is working hard ;) No living thing is self limiting, given the opportunity everything goes for growing its numbers, even trying to overshadow others of its own...

    Pine martin release on dartmoor.

    Large herbivores are far from a universal improver when there are too many. Elephants maintain grassland by destroying acacia trees, but can push an area towards desert. Elk in Yellowstone eating all the willows, depriving moose of forage and other creatures of habitat. Camels in Australia...

    DIY - toolbox refurb / rust removal question

    While it is not a gel and does not do vertical surfaces well, I have very good success with HG Rust Remover. https://hg.eu/uk/products/hg-rust-remover both as direct painted on and diluted and soaking. There are also products by Bilt Hamber that would be worth a look, I used one (think it was...

    Is it just me?? DD Hammock stand.....

    I made a tensa type stand from Screwfix steel cable conduit pipes. Was a bit of a fuss drilling holes to line up through two sizes of pipe to make them telescopic. End result works, but requires a fairly strong ground anchor, one of those Delta Ground Anchor pegs works. Of course, those pipes...

    Pine martin release on dartmoor.

    We had no rabbits to speak of, then years later started to get more kites. I am dubious of the cause-effect suggested by those local falconers. Between VHD and myxy rabbits have a hard time these days. While I have never seen a kite take live prey, a friend over in Oxfordshire says he has seen...
