    Anyone a fan of tinned fish?

    Yeah Mercury, I remember we used to roll that stuff around in our hands when we were kids, plus mess with a lot of other things now considered toxic - exploding sheet asbestos on open fires anyone?

    Anyone a fan of tinned fish?

    Aye, have long since know Tuna is reported to figure highly for mercury contamination, to be glad my preference is for small oily Herring To wonder what the fish eat might have a bearing on mercury content All of what fish I eat are low mercury options

    Positive news

    Alas none down in my part of Devon yet to have wondered if the Buzzards are keeping their infiltration at bay as there are plenty of Buzzards about. I have a particular interest in the Red Kite through being in ways involved in it's re-introduction way back when I was a member of the YOC in...

    Chest Rigs - How Useful Are They?

    My photography is mixed photography and involves moving over varied terrain and having long since got fed up with having to stop, remove backpack and fish out what I need to cause ' the moment ' to expire, I have found the hip mounted holster system suits my needs. At first it was a belt and...

    Chest Rigs - How Useful Are They?

    I would hazard a guess wearing one could cause those without to experience what sporting a bust can feel like. But personally I don't like to wear anything that can restrict the movement of my arms and chest rigs can, whereas less so the standard bib and belt webbing set up of which I use even...

    Anyone a fan of tinned fish?

    The way Lidl's appears to work, or at least does in my own neck of the woods is it doesn't appear to restock what's out when there are other options available, in that it seems the less popular stuff has to be sold first before they will restock. Am experiencing somewhat of this phenomena with...

    Open question - Financial

    I keep my scrap for the making of findings and other small pieces instead of breaking into stock, so it's not something I will be selling unless I really have to. Surprised bushcrafty folks aren't panning for precious metals ( or are they?) As there are quite a few gold bearing watercourses in...

    A sore mouth

    Yeah, warm salt water's best. Before I found a dentist I was doing DIY dentistry to have regular use of clove oil, peppermint oil and zinc oxide powder to at least know I can ' manage ' a dental issue off the beaten track, and did once when a crown collapsed in a desert country.
