    The 'Bug Out Bag' and the 'INCH' Bag

    Lots of good urban survivalist tips come from stories about the homeless. "Stone Pillow" starring Lucille Ball has some blinders. "The Fisher King" and "Down & out in Paris & London" also have some good tips.

    Gerber Bear Grylls sliding saw.

    Never understood the "american" penchant for warranties, I'd prefer not to have something break when you're relying on it the most. Do Gerber deliver to the middle of the Amazon? I got one of the Lidl folding saws about 3 years back, still going strong.

Not usually an issue if the particular cured meat never hangs around long enough to spoil (such as...

    Does anyone else wear athletic shorts in the summer?

    Spent a week working at a festival last summer with the camp downhill about a mile away from the meal tent. 3 meals a day plus the rest of the walking about meant that by day 3, a kilt was all that was comfortable. Chafing, dear boy, chafing.

    Pictures vs. Youtube In Threads

    There's a saying that you can either enjoy the moment now or film it now and enjoy the moment later. But that really depends on how well you film it and ultimately you're only watching a TV programme of an event you were at, but not involved in.

    Moving to Bulgaria - It's an option

    The thing is, most of the time we complain about over-regulation and beaurocracy as the reason why we don't get particularly adventurous, but in the vast majority of cases it's the social obstacles of friends/neighbours/complete strangers that shoots things down in flames. "That'll never work"...

    Growing early ( as in Iron Age/ Saxon ) food plants?

    Like all viruses, it should be treated with a course of antibiotics, where the afflicted stop taking the pills as soon as they feel better. Don't accept any excuses from the GP (after all, what do they know) refuse to leave the surgery until he's prescribed a course of Carbapenems (last year it...

    Growing early ( as in Iron Age/ Saxon ) food plants?

    In Hungary, "white carrot" is actually parsley root (Humboldt parsley). I have some seeds if you want. You might also want to consider planting Mespils/Medlars/Noszpolya (all the same thing) a small fruiting tree. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mespilus...

    Traditional Butcher Display

    The texture, the feel in your mouth, the smell of it cooking, none of it is a pleasant experience. There is a Hungarian recipe involving cooking it for 3 days with about 20 changes of water and finished off with plenty of garlic, onion and a rich, strong paprika sauce. Makes it almost palatable...
