I don't know about air pistols for squirrels but I do know of a guy who makes armour for mice

I like those 'self-oiling' kind of woods, particularly partridge wood. I have a Serrata with a sneezewood handle, which is greatly loved. Otherwise I tend to stick to ebonies and boxwood. I also have a lot of stag slippies which I like a lot. Got to be the right bit though. I'll see if I can...

You'll want to watch getting peanut butter in that hole :) Hope you had a good jaunt

There's a large watermint patch in one of the ravines near us and an exactly similar, shaded damp spot in the garden waiting for it. The river is stinking polluted though, despite the beginnings of efforts to clean it. I was watching a lot of 4-5" trout this morning. So, might yet transplant a...

For shoulders, baseball sites (often swimming sites too) will have a program/protocol of focused and controllable shoulder exercises as a pdf. I have one on my laptop but can't remember where it came from. Mainly external rotation exercises for the rotator cuff and support muscles. Mostly with a...

Quite true. They are worth a bunch. And, if not here, there are other forums with a more specialized membership

I know that some people call it fishing. :)

I do like watching what these people do, changing their styles over time - https://dewaardtenten.nl/en/business/products/ Their Dutch Elm explores a principle. Sleeping quarters coupled with a more or less expansive and flexible arrangement of tarps. One thing to look at might be a Hilleberg 3...

Put the washer on a cycle with no detergent in it before washing the bivi to clean out any residue of conventional detergent from the machine itself

My McFeely is in with my Swiss Tool :) You are right, where scale and purpose is the issue, I like the Atwood prybaby still and many, various, similar, much cheaper variants; 2-4" length. It is the claw that makes one desirable, also metric/imp. measurements. I've an Atwood on my keys that is...

There is an invasive garlic mustard here which is good to eat. Same latin name, but looks slightly different to that specimen you show there. Leaves more roundly heart-shaped and not coloured ... well, not that I have seen. I was going to suggest you wait for seeds of that mustard you have and...

Duct tape is stickier than most things, and flexible. You can use bathroom sealant diluted with mineral spirit as an adhesive for a bit of nylon fabric. For branded products, Aquaseal is good for flexible patching on wetsuits etc. Seam Grip for superduper waterproofing and seam repair for...

:lol: sounds like someone's gone to look for their sockpuppet Sorry to hear you have run into it

Collie here, too. She's much more readily controlled off-leash. But obviously, there are circs where off-leash just isn't sensible. We hike the ravines a lot, where she is in her element, cyclists and coyotes or not. But, if she sees a white SUV she will try to chase and eat it. So, it's...

2B or not 2B?

Very fond of my LMF Ti sporks, stashed away in different useful places. One at work. Watching a good vid on fermentation at the moment ... no Ti involved, sadly. Though I can see a case being made for a great big Ti bowl. :)

There's a school of thought that says dogs misbehave on leash (barking at others etc) because they feel trapped by the leash and can't control the situation spatially (i.e. get out of the way etc.) because of it. No clue if it's actually like true or anything. Dog psychology isn't my field, but...

There's these Ollas, Jonno70 https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/garden/water-and-irrigation/116523-3-litre-olla?item=XC486&gad_source=1 Might be the basis of an idea

I imagine there would be a variety of ways of doing it, but the heat rising from the lot liquid in a Ti mug might produce a greater temperature at the lip than a SS mug (all other things being constant) for the reasons of density and thinness that you give ... is what I thought

My physics isn't what it could be. But I remember my dad showing me how to do a differential heat treatment on a knife by just warming the back of the blade (blade upwards)on the kitchen gas hob. He explained the difference between heat and temperature as a way of understanding how the edge of...
