I'd look at making it big enough to act as a shelter/tarp - sew 2 c.2m strips side by side and seam seal the join. Reinforce the edges with webbing (and/or retroreflective tape), sew loops on each corner and halfway along each side. You could sew/stick reflective tape in one of these patterns...

Blimey, that was quick! Well done...

Nearly a fiver, though, gets expensive if you need a few. I dug out my silnylon tent and threaded the machine with the green Nylon thread. Having a play with different seams. It's slippery stuff to work with - not my favourite stuff to sew - making a stuff sack with properly hidden edges is...

If Mesquite can't find his old flysheet, I have some dark green tent fabric I could sew you some bags from - just bought 3000m of dark green bonded Nylon thread too! If that's too dark, I have yellow, blue or orange ripstop

Holly can be used for animal fodder. That's why the leaves on younger plants are so spiky, to stop them being eaten. Look at a mature holly tree and you'll see far fewer prickles.

Recycle anything you can, then burn the rest and scatter the ashes in my woodland. That's my memorial. Personally, I don't see the point of hanging onto ashes. My mother-in-law has 2 urns with her former husband and dog within. I made sure my late dog was scattered in the place he loved...

Really good stuff to sew with as it doesn't fray too badly and tends to be quite stiff so easy to control. Too far for me to collect it, sadly, but one of my favourite fabrics to work with

Probably not as user friendly, though. I made it from an old Land Rover leaf spring

I'm very sorry to hear that.

Handsome looking gadget but too much money for me to invest in. I'll stick to my hand made froe for now

Been a week since the last item was taken and nothing offered yet. Shame

For those of you wondering: https://bushcraftuk.com/community/threads/flexistove.159763/ Nice offers... not something I really want but sure it will get snapped up

Sadly it was in a wood burner, so no smell (and I have a bit of a cold anyway so wouldn't have smelt it)

I have a really nice quality sheet in my fabric box but it's too fine for masks - the one I made from it before is almost impossible to breath through!

Wanted some cotton to make facemasks with. To buy it by the metre worked out at about £3/square metre. Bought a brand new King sized flat sheet (over 9m2) for just under £10. I don't know if this is something you can get at charity shops (I needed a specific colour as it's for a uniformed group)...

Got downstairs this morning and it's freezing cold and fire wasn't lit. Turns out that there is no kindling in the house and the nearest stock is 100m away in the barn. Wanted to get the fire going and didn't fancy the trek outside in my jim jams. I've been doing some sewing recently (making...

If it's an absolute ******* to split then you might be right. I was given a load once and my splitting axe just bounced off it. Even challenged a builder to try and he failed too. That said, it does look more like sycamore to me.

Nice offering...

Ah, that does make sense...

Ha! That's what I'd expect! Only had it once (the commercial sweet version).
