    Finding a lost dog

    From a regular person's point of view, I would say it is almost impossible to follow and find a dog through their footprints or other markings they may have made, unless they were very experienced in tracking an animal in an urban area. Often dogs do not usually run in a straight line but go...

    LOVED the Rupert annuals when I was young! And was that the copy of Wildwood that was for sale at the moot by any chance? I had my eye on that but managed to borrow it from the library last week after being sad that someone had already swiped it :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Spiritual Dowsing looks great, I'll hv to look that one up. I love threads like this. I just received 'Botany in a Day' in the post, something I have been hankering after for a while, finally got round to ordering it. I think it is gonna take me longer than a day though, more like a few weeks...

    Thank you

    Hi everyone, especially those who were at the Moot this year. I just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to you all for making it such a wonderful two weeks. I had a great time. Every year I wonder if it could possibly get any better and every year it does. Thank you to Tony and Shelley and the mods...

    Wanted: Boarskins

    thanks for the info everyone. I asked the eBay seller from Poland who is selling whole hog hides about the smell and he said it disappears eventually, but I think I am going to go with deer hide now, the fallow deer patterning is just beautiful, I may get one of each, fallow and red, and then...

    A Bushmoot related question

    I did the trip last year from Bristol Airport and it wasn't, from what I can remember, that expensive. It maybe worth looking into so that you can remain flexible. the bus from the airport to the train station is £9 return (I think), I just looked up the train prices and from Bristol Temple...

    BushMoot 2014 4th Aug - 16th Aug 2014

    Okay, the flights are booked and car sorted - we will be arriving in luxury this time ;) not like three bedraggled waifs lugging huge packs on our backs (although I actually enjoyed doing it that way last time, unfortunately the children did not)

    Wanted: Boarskins

    aha, well that is all very interesting ;) thanks guys. of course, I have had absolutely no experience with boar skin before. Toddy, I intend to cover a handle for a drum that I have made, and a few other bits and pieces. I wonder if I were to use boar *leather* would that be more suitable and...

    Article: sugru

    I ordered some a while back and used it for the handle of a metal cooking pot lid and it is fantastic. I initially found out about Sugru through the story behind its creation and bought some because it was so inspiring and the inventor went to the same college as me ;) I also used it to replace...
