    I like it! But I still end up carrying my crusader as well, bcause it fits in the WB pouch and I still need the WB and the cup!

    Slingshot/Catapult shooters

    It's also permissible to put down vermin IMO. Although in NI, from the legal perspective you kill with a firearm, or not at all.

    The Great Tommy Sleep Out

    I've done it for several years now but didn't this year purely because I just can't ask friends and family for money.

    Crossbow ban consultation

    Not automatically, no. But the chances of NI not following suit are negligible. TBH I'm very surprised they've never been subject to control here given that a 12 ft/lb air rifle is an on ticket item.

    Bushcraft tools that could be classed as weapons?

    By the court and yes, applicable to "the times". That is how policing by consent functions and believe it or not, nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine people out of a million here like it. More or less.

    Bushcraft tools that could be classed as weapons?

    What if the beforehand is always "you can't"? The concept of "reasonableness" and "Good cause" allows for flexibility of action which would, in the UK, otherwise likely be denied.

    Wanted Glock field knife

    I do have one somewhere, but with me that involves a fair bit of scope and I haven't seen it in years, it has a has sandy coloured plastics and is a sawback. I'll have a look, but I wouldn't be too optimistic.

    Interesting article about wolves in Europe

    Anecdotally, I've spoken to French farmers and French country dwellers in general who say they will destroy wolves wherever and whenever encountered, regardless of the animal's behaviour.

    Irrational attachment to inanimate objects

    My early Leatherman Charge purchased for me by my late grandfather after he somehow managed to destroy my Wave, we don't know what he did with it, he didn't know what he did with it (alzheimer's) but almost every blade/tool was broken, must have been some sort of prying thing. Anyway... He...

    Ah, yes okay, I see what you're after and no, you're not going to find it in Nepal.

    The best Kukri knives

    I quite like the Churi from KHHI, although if I were getting another I'd take it unpolished.

    Banned dogs - thoughts

    No, but it is still a valid metric for risk assessment. A toy breed, no matter how aggressive is unlikely to cause life changing injuries if it does attack. This thread illustrates what an emotive and complex issue this is and the nature of the beast (literally in this case) means that unlike...

    Anyone remember wire saws, 40+ years ago, that cut?

    Survival Aids offerings worked okay, you weren't going to cut lumber with them but they worked. We used to take (electric) jigsaw blades, wrap an end in tape and sharpen the blunt side. If you were working with small pieces of wood that was better.

    Chicken off the wood mushroom

    I've only ever used it once, in a curry. And it could have been taken for chicken.

    What would you not be able to do without your car, van, 4x4 or any other motorised vehicle.

    I drive and shall continue to so.

    Government consultation on banning large knives and machetes

    There is no conclusion drawn on historic blades. In any case, is a Kris or Khukuri manufactured today "historic"? Edit - for all that, a couple of my FS are modern, and we'll perhaps not get into some of the Ernest Emerson designed pieces. :(
