Not everyone was so lucky .... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5406151/Devon-cottage-collapses-UK-earthquake.html

My thoughts exactly when I found it. But it's a good reference list which is why I've posted it. Like you, I've dabbled in a few of the crafts on that in the past, (although you may well have more than 'dabbled') my latest venture is about to begin as I have recently bought on old second-hand...

You say you have limited outdoor space - a yard - so are you in a town or city? The reason I ask is that you might be restricted in terms of making noise if you have neighbours right beside you - your next door neighbour might soon tire of hearing you hammering metal on an anvil. Whereas other...

I carry a small non-stick pan so omelettes are a favourite and easy too. Add some mushroom, fried bacon, cheese, cooked potato or whatever. :)

Very interesting project. Do you use a wine yeast for fermentation? S.bayanus ? I assume you will not refer to your product as 'champagne' officially ;) Good luck with your quest for land.

Several decades ago, my brother was working on a farm in Ireland and found about 120 pipe bowls in a 1 acre field which had been ploughed for the first time in living memory. I don't think he ever found a single intact pipe, i.e. with the complete stem attached to the bowl although he did find...

I have the Lixada version of this stove which weighs 280grams. I see Amazon are now selling them (cheaper) at £10.99 including UK delivery. I don't use it regularly, which is probably the reason I have yet to consistently 'master the art' of keeping it running consistently.

I'm just getting 'Page not Found' with that link :(

Your question is a valid one, especially as you imply you live in London. And especially after these recent knife attacks. I don't know the answer to your question, but I know from personal experience that if you are brown- or black-skinned you are more likely to be stopped by the police. I...

This probably won't help but I come up in hives when I get certain shellfish and only at certain times of the year which is a puzzle. Just wondered, did you eat anything that might have triggered an allergic reaction, perhaps something the others didn't eat? Long shot I know ......

When I was backpacking, I kept what I called my 'Plan B Meal' in my backpack. This consisted of a packet of dried soup (not soup-in-a-mug or those expensive one's you get for mountaineering). Knorr Minestrone was a favourite. I'd add some pasta to it maybe 2 ounces (always carried a little pasta...

Hi folks, I watched tonight's episode (it may well be a repeat) of 'The Last Alaskans' on Discovery and it featured a father and daughter going hunting for caribou (unsuccessfully this time). Both father & daughter were carrying different external framed front-loading rucksacks and I was...

What ? Bagels made you 2" taller ??? :)

I have a Gelert folding stove. I can't find a link to it but it's identical to this one...

Let's know how you get on :)

Lovely work there ....I am often amazed at the skill of the 'makers' on this site.

I've never used a tarp but saw this set-up on sale at Cotswold Outdoors which looks interesting: http://www.cotswoldoutdoor.com/amok-draumr-3-0-complete-hammock-and-tarp-d2524266?utm_source=standard&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20170319-CO0063&uuicode=bckuihwozx

"Gotta go watch England crush Ireland now." .............. So how did that go? ;)

When I was learning to parachute, the instructor gave us a piece of advice which I think is also very apt in the event that you are a passenger on an aircraft that is about to crash land. He gave the advice in response to the question 'what happens if my reserve parachute fails too?' which is a...

If I may ask a question (my ignorance on the subject of wood is embarrassing - I really must do some reading) but could you have the 'redwood pine' wood pressure-treated or vacuum-treated with preservatives after you've cut/profiled them and varnish over that?
