Donate to a chilly cat or dog. Life is too short to spend time on some stuff.

Hello and welcome. To sell, you will need a paid membership. Info here: 8A https://bushcraftuk.com/community/threads/general-community-rules-and-guidelines.45/ And https://bushcraftuk.com/community/threads/members-classifieds-rules.29523/#post-1945616 Whether you can send via Royal Mail will...

Thanks for the clarification @Flecktarnmann , that makes sense. I fear you will have to just double up on pads and put up with the bulk. About the only tricks you can play are using Mylar foil in conjunction with foam to reflect some heat, and building natural debris beds to put the pads on...

I am going to point out some problems with the post and the criteria. Looking for a pad that is not inflatable, is not the same as wanting a pad that cannot easily be punctured. The first statement precludes all pads other than closed cell foam. The latter allows for inflatables that...

Well, at least folk are talking about something other than the climate now!:poke::lmao: This is interesting regarding the purity of “science”.

Asking questions and being skeptical is not pretending to know more than the people you question. Are you familiar with the term “argument (or appeal) from authority”? I would suggest you look into the modern problems with the peer review process. If you aren’t even aware of them, then you...

Which branch of science do you work in? Based upon what I have seen, your evaluation of scientists is optimistic. There are ample examples of people challenging the scientific orthodoxy and getting hammered by the scientific community only to be proved correct in time. In the case of climate...

With the Samurai swords, there was a clause to allow for swords “made by traditional methods”. Seems like that could work to protect tuna cutters.

Metal shed. https://www.shedstore.co.uk/garden-sheds/metal-sheds Wooden sheds are going to be rather immobile. No windows mean no one can see in so more secure. You might find someone selling a used shed on eBay.

This looks like government listened to all the criticism following the ban on “Samurai” swords with curved blades longer than xxcm. Everyone pointed out that the purveyors of horrible cheap gangsta swords would be selling the same junk with straight blades even before the original ban came in...

Mod had on Herman, in the interest of forum harmony, can you please take your own advice and scroll on over threads about UK laws. By this point it is safe to say you won’t like what you read and you will feel it necessary to post inflammatory criticism. That you do not read the legislation...

There is a good series, Wild Canada, a couple different versions. I have the Attenborough one, which has different editing, but its big message is that many areas we would today think of as wilderness have been heavily shaped by human activity. I for one would not hold that against it...

Hi @Limaed , You just beat me to it! I was just typing that it depends I suppose what your definition of "true wilderness" is. :D :bigok: For example, back in 2005 I was fortunate enough to be a guest of a super Norwegian family near Fyresdal. We hiked, we fished. The place was covered in...

Knoydart?

Ted K. 5foot 9 inches. No weight given, but average to thin appearance. Average BMI for that height, 19 to 25, with weight variation of 130 to 170lb and an ideal for a 40 year old of 152 to 160lb. Reverse that ideal range alone and ask what the height range is for that weight range, given...

I like this channel on YouTube. As well as trying to provide clear explanations, without much name calling, she also illustrates one of our problems with labelling and then ignoring voices we don’t agree with. I have little time for cranks’ overall message, but I am interested in what they say...

Multiple things can be true simultaneously. Human activity can be driving the observed changes in temperatures. There can be money made by people presenting contradictory views. There can be even more money made in researching, supporting and amplifying the message of anthropogenic climate...

Multiple things CAN be true at the same time. Data can be poor and falsified. And This can be uncovered by people with an agenda to feed who are looking for such things. And The people can be cranks and the conclusion they draw about the implications of their discoveries can be warped by bias...

I am thinking that if it could be used, it would have been, rather than plaitting horse hair, silk, or twisting gut, and so forth.

I have the image of happy mice trotting around, minding their business, until the tragic day they sample some of Dave's food, or wander across his clothing or bedding...and just keel over dead! Man, what do you treat your kit with that it kills mice on contact?!?
