I think my favourite thread ever was this one: https://bushcraftuk.com/community/index.php?threads/snowball-soup-and-other-interesting-recipies.88501/ Wayland is someone who I have learnt a lot from over the years, and his threads have always been accompanied by astonishing photographs. This...

Ah yes. That's obviously seen some over vigorous use. Z

Thermos King: I have had water stay hot enough for coffee for about 28 hours. Z

I have an old Kent pattern with a twist. It actually makes it a bit "right-handed". Z

I recently learnt about PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). The world is just waking up to the fact that we have been spreading these practically indestructible substances around the planet and they are toxic to us. (Anyone remember Scotchguard?) If you are standing in the rain in your...

There's a lot of axes that can be re-sharpened to make them into carving axes. The old Kent pattern ones are great and can be picked up for a song. Few axes are ready for carving when you get them - I.e. razor sharp with long straight bevels. Most of those are quite pricey like the GB ones...

Looks like it could make a blade protector for a bowl adze in no time. Z

Not birch polypore, although I can see some resemblance. This thing has all the structural rigidity of a soufflé. Z

I made this from one of these logs some time back: It proved to be just too absorbent for fluids. Then I used it for red wine and it ended up kind of pink! Z

A new one for me this. I was walking past the log pile and thought "Hello, who's squirted a blob of foam sealant onto that log?" I poked it. You can see my finger mark. It was very soft . I think I have identified it now, but do you know what it is? Z

A beauty. Interesting to see what the little fuel bottle was like. If I had the cash I would buy that just to gaze at it! Z

Done. How is it that they can get planning permission to build these when a private individual couldn't even get permission for a shed? Z

Most excellent. I really love the kettle. Z

Nice job. I think my old Escort was that colour. Z

The Asian hornet id information is here: http://www.nonnativespecies.org/alerts/index.cfm?id=4 The pdf file is too large to upload apparently. I can't make a judgement from those pictures, but if they are Asian hornets you really should report them. Z

From the Wikipedia entry for Cueva de las Manos: the mineral pigments include iron oxides, producing reds and purples; kaolin, producing white; natrojarosite, producing yellow; and manganese oxide, which makes black. A lot of these type of pigments can provide more than one colour because they...

Lovely job. Z
