Amazing. Pride of place I'm sure....

i think problem solving and lateral thinking. Not a 'skill' in the same sense of the word but bushcraft does teach those soft skills

Cedar i think A woodland we have permission in felled some and we planked a couple for them. It was a fun project but the two sanders i had were on their last legs and it proved too much for them! Good excuse to get replacements though:dancer::beerchug:

Not serious but have a few and enjoy playing occasionally.

I just cut some emery paper up which brings the edge up well

Long shot I know but I've wanted one of these for a while and wondered if anyone has one they are willing to part with. Looking for 28-29 inch draw and 30-50 lb weight. Thanks Mark

I assume the 'ammo safe' reference is the requirement to have FAC ammo stored under separate lock and key to the guns themselves. This has been a requirement for many years. I've had an FAC for 35 years and have always needed to do this. I assume this is a national requirement? there is no...

This is interesting. What did i expect??? I certainly expected a minority of posts to want the countryside all to themselves. I also expected some helpful comments of what worked in the past perhaps. From the responses I get the feeling most people are saying it's up to the individual to find...

Is the release of a TQ prior to hospitalisation still approved? I thought current practice is to leave it on until the patient is in hospital. I assume because the risk of releasing toxins into the body and also lowering blood volume with no method of countering in the field is not recommended?

Yep, also the classic war first aid trick of writing a T on the forehead also helps - anything to help identify it's been applied. Also don't forget to write the time of application on it too.
