    Licensing for Knife Sellers or Importers

    I think it's rather more complex than that. I suspect that any statistical correlation between crime and ethnicity is likely influenced more by things like individual peoples upbringing and other previous life experiences rather than simply being caused by whether they were born black, white...

    Licensing for Knife Sellers or Importers

    I was not trying to say or imply anything. But as the subject of crime statistics and race/ethnicity were being discussed it might be useful for people to actually see what the raw data says.

    What did you buy today?

    I have a psychotic chicken which is obsessed with trying to eat my fingers. If I put my had on the ground or anywhere within reach it imminently sprints over and starts pecking them as hard as it can.

    What did you buy today?

    Good quality, rugged, comfortable backpack with plenty of pockets. It feels really tough too like it will last a life time. It's unlikely to get used very often (other than for sleeping bag storage at home) but every now and then I require a large bag capable swallowing a weeks worth of clothes...

    Bug out coffee

    If it's to keep in your car as a spare for emergencies a few of these ready-made coffee and milk sachets would probably be be the easiest option. Personally I don't drink them very often because they have some unhealthy additives which I'd rather avoid. But if you're only intending to consume...

    Pathfinder or TBS Canteen sets?

    I've been using the TBS set for several years and have no complaints. I can't comment on how it compares to the Pathfinder though.

    News sources

    Its content appears to be an AI generated summary taken from a range of news sources which are listed and clearly labeled as being left of right wing. I'm generally not a fan of AI created content but this site is an interesting one. I'll stick with it for a few days longer and see how I get on...

    It sounds ideal from your description. I saw you mention it earlier today and have already saved it to my favorites so that I can look at it properly tomorrow. I'll let you know what I think.

    News sources

    There is no perfect method. I just try to use common sense (what little I have) and try to be as unbiased and honest with myself as possible (easier said than done). Often it seems obvious when one side or another is being biased. Other times not so much. That's why I try to read a wide-ranging...

    News sources

    It would be nice to find an independent news channel which just presents facts and then lets people come to their own conclusions without any added spin or opinions. Unfortunately all of the newspapers and TV news channels seem to be heavily biased one way or another. To get a balanced view of...

    Interesting tool. I've never seen one of them before.

    Where can I get a long digging hoe?

    I also live in an area which has thick clay mud with lots of rocks. The best tool that I have found for breaking up the ground to make it easy to dig is a 60" long wrecking bar. It's a 5 foot solid steel pole with a sharp spike on one end and a large flat chisel-like shape at the other. I've...

    £250 survival knife...

    I use an Elmax Fallkniven F1 and love it. It's a great option if you want 'compact' survival/bushcraft knife but it's too small and lightweight to be an effective chopper. It can chop in a pinch but it will take a lot more time and energy compared to a bigger knife. If you're after a good all...
