    Government Consultation - Knife Sales: executive sanctions.

    You don't think that Facebook/any other website will take the easy option and rather than risk their freedom, or employ extra moderators, they will simply say no knife sales? Like most places do with air rifles etc...

    Pine martin release on dartmoor.

    I recall reading about it coming out at an AGM, but other sources seem to concur. First google hit: https://protectthewild.org.uk/undercover-investigations/rspb-predator-control/#:~:text=The RSPB fox shooting season,is simply cruel and unsustainable. Or a potentially more independant source...

    Pine martin release on dartmoor.

    Do you have a source that is not the RSPB? Statistics can be misleading. If for example 75% of the UKs hen harriers live on managed estates because the predator control etc.. carried out by the keepers aids their breeding. Then it stands to reason that 75% of their deaths in the UK will occur...

    Pine martin release on dartmoor.

    Got any details of the number of raptors that successfully fledge on land managed by game keepers? Seems a little bit weird to me releasing a load of predators into an environment that they have not been in for 100 years and expecting them to not have an effect on the current eco system. Is...

    Combining Poultry and Soft Fruit??

    Likewise, my birds all run free around apple and pear trees, but the raspberries and currants are in cages. Some of my bigger birds will jump up for low apples, or put heads through cages to eat berries, but without cages around the soft fruit they would decimate the bushes. The peafowl even...

    Farmer sprays cyclist wild camper.

    The farmer is a dick for filming it, other than that he was probably going to muck spread that field anyway.

    DeWalt battery chainsaw

    Like you, I use mainly dewalt power tools, so I bought the dewalt 18v chainsaw. Great bit of kit, very useful to not mess around with petrol etc.. if it's just a small job. Only issue with it, and seems common online, the oil tank is prone to leaking. I find it only really happens if the...

    Generator Integration to House Power

    This is something I have been wondering about, I have an old twin cylinder Lister driven generator, and have been wondering about running it on heating oil. Do you add any lubricating oil to the heating oil when you use it? At the moment mine is more of a prep, and have only tried it on diesel...
