    How to find a good tattoo studio.

    If you want a tattoo, go get one. Bugger what anyone else says. I'm getting a tattoo in January. Been wanting the tattoo for years and years but just never got round to it. My tattoo idea has never changed in all these years, and I do suppose that that's the key thing with permanent art. Once...

    No Spoon Knife Spoon

    Why haven't i thought of this before. What a genius way to make a spoon in the field. I'll be doing that the next time I head into the forest for a camp. Thanks!

    Alone (UK) TV series. What ten items would you choose?

    While I see the benefit of an axe, I can do without it. My pocket knife has a small but bloody good saw on it. For shelter building, I've got the tarp. I'd rig up a small teepee. Small fire inside for warmth if really needed, and a cooking fire outside. Any more of an elaborate shelter would...

    Degrees of variation (from North)

    I never use my phone for bearing navigation. I always carry a compass, map for primary navigation. For back up I have a Garmin 401 GPS, and then I have the OS app on my phone.

    What are your favourite pocket knives?

    I've been looking at the knipex. Are they really as handy as others say? Does having a multi tool make them redundant?

    What are your favourite pocket knives?

    Have you looked at the SOG Terminus XR? same blade profile, and it's one handed opening. I had one, but sold it to purchase something else, and to be honest I wish I kept it.

    Two thirds of confirmed birds of prey illegal killings last year linked to shooting estates...

    I read your post with interest. And it got me thinking... Farming is not my livelyhood. Gamekeeping isn't either, but by virtue of my trade I'm 'in' with the shooting set a lot and I do knock over a deer once a year, and I have a brace of birds here and there throughout the season. So I hear...
