Welcome aboard KirsteenA The easy way of lighting a Kelly Kettle in a breeze - is to find somewhere where there isn't any breeze! Enjoy the forum Ogri the trog

Ha ha, having read the original post, I was just about to dive in with a "Superfeet all the way!" comment, I have used the brown ones for years and they have transformed the footwear that I use them in. I have also tried numerous others and found them to be nowhere near as good. .. Probably...

How about a bag of modern rubbish - the result of our consumer / wasteful society! To compare with the scant evidence of our ancestors hundreds-of-thousands-of-years of existence. It doesn't have to stink (though it might add to the effect) for the sake of cleanliness. ATB Ogri the trog

Dear Mister Bank Manager. I really really really really really promise that if you let me buy this coat, I will not be tempted by another one for a very very very very long time! If only I had the funds! Ah well Ogri the trog

Might be a willow or possibly Eucalyptus - your nose should tell you which. Willow will carve like butter, never tried Eucalyptus Although it is equally possible that I am wrong on all accounts.... ATB Ogri the trog

I teach that there is only one time when a knife should not be put straight into its sheath - when it has been used for cutting meat or fish (though it might also apply if it were covered in resin) until it has been thoroughly cleaned. ATB Ogri the trog PS, never seen a Thumb Guard!

The reasons for getting no reply are many and varied - and no doubt range from "I didn't read it" all the way to "I am intentionally not going to reply" and several stages in between. The forum sometimes needs a lot of maintenance input from both the Admin and Moderation team - and sometimes it...

I went the opposite way when trying field archery I figured that if my pile penetrated more than about 35mm it was lost anyway - or at least would likely break the shaft in trying to retrieve it. So I made what was essentially a big boys awl - 10mm stainless steel bar, shaped to what was to...

Living reasonably close to the Elan Valley, I tend to agree with Bishop here. In another months time, you might get lucky and have a very pleasant camp, but you might equally find yourself in amongst an early winter storm - not really the time to be "practicing your camp craft". I've spent...

Now, there's a query that, at first read, piqued my interest..... But the more I thought about it, the stranger it became! A side pouch on a sheath to carry a netting needle or a means of securing one to a sheath - I can understand - almost! Though it would not allow any cord to be carried on...

Not great timing Twodogs. A mate is after just this sort of thing, but is strapped for cash just now. Good luck with the sale and have a free bump on me. ATB Ogri the trog

I've had my share of factory supplied safety boots in the past. Your first (£20 - £30) options were regularly those recommended by the facility - but I always found them to be less than ideal in one way or other - ill-fitting, sweaty or just plain uncomfortable. As to the second lot, I have...

Knowing where you are and what experience you have with a bow might help narrow things down a little. Draw weight and arrow length can be critical in long bows. ATB Ogri the trog

Will you have any at the Moot Fi? Ogri the trog

Buy a Mora - even if it is only to satisfy some weird curiosity. If you get along to any meet-ups, try other folk knives to see how they feel and talk about the differences in how you both use your knives. In a year or two, you'll have a bag full of knives, each one you hoped to be an...
