    Small basic grill?

    Im after a small flat grill for open fire cooking. Nothing fancy just the mesh type and say Approx 12”x6” or thereabouts - just small so not like the size of a oven rack. I’ve seen some on various YouTube channels but they are sold in the US at a premium, especially once you factor in the ransom...

    Airguns (Hope it's not taboo)??

    I’ve taken the open sights off on mine as they interfere when looking through the low mounted scope

    Airguns (Hope it's not taboo)??

    Rich, I’d highly recommend a HW30. I have an S in .22 that comes with open sights, beech stock and the brilliant rekord trigger. So long as you don’t require 12 ftlbs then it will serve you well. Mine is chrono’d at 7.8 ftlbs but it has so little felt recoil and cocking effort is minimal, it’s a...

    *The* Gift-It-On Thread

    What a great knife the 510 is, it’s one of my favourite Moras. My go to for wood carving. I’m surprised it hasn’t been snapped up by the serial thread stallers! :biggrin:

    Airguns (Hope it's not taboo)??

    I went through a phase a few years ago with air guns. It’s like I was buying one then selling another every month! Had some decent pcps including HW100, s410, BSA ultra and a tuned Rapid mk2. Liked them all bar the rapid - most over rated air gun ever in my opinion. And a HW99 “imp” from SFS...

    Knife breakage

    Just cheapo rubbish nowt good. like the hollow handle Rambo knife I had when I was about 8 or 9 - Used it once as a throwing knife, so inevitably handle and blade parted ways quickly. I don’t think many people had a long term relationship with these type of knives though?? An all black...

    hard wearing wellies that will last

    I was looking at Skellerups before I started this thread but being recommended by a farmer is surely a good endorsement :) To be honest the comfort for me mainly comes from not making my feet and trousers soaking wet every time I walk the dogs. Good recommendations folks, they are much...

    hard wearing wellies that will last

    Out of all of them, my Grubs fenline lasted the longest before leaking and possibly the most comfortable but I’ve been a bit cautious with the neoprene as mine leaked where the neoprene joined to the rubber. Not bad boots though, will have a look at the stalkers.

    hard wearing wellies that will last

    The basic, plain rubber ones look suitable. Possibly a bit floppy but can’t be any worse than a pair of Dunlop’s I had that came apart after one winter.

    hard wearing wellies that will last

    I have been wearing wellies that are supposedly quality ones by the likes of Aigle, Muck and Grub. The thing is they only last a max of 18 months until they start falling apart and start letting water in. This which surprises me as 90% of the time it’s only dog walking through marsh, fields and...

    Got a hankering

    I’ve been carrying the Heinnie wasp a lot lately. Strong back spring, perfectly machined blade and generously sized handle for a 3 inch slippy. The S90V is the standout though - keeps a keen edge yet responds surprisingly well to a quick strop. It’s also been getting soaking wet without too...

    Low Budget Full Tang Knife?

    This has prompted me to look about but as I thought, there really isn’t anything about for a small budget. There is the Cold Steel GI Tanto that is full tang, currently under £25 and the 1055 mid carbon steel appears to be well received but that is neither 4 inch blade nor probably the style...
