A lot of the jobs that used to be available are no longer there. Many of the specialized centres have been closed down and the training has been outsourced to civilian companies. By all means have a go at getting outdoor ed qualifications from the military JSMEL (summer and winter) and ML...

Lucky man and happy Christmas :)

I believe you to be wrong here, sorry Red. That is disgraceful. That's more like it. Quite correct, I have some coming from my local dairy, it's the only time of year that I will eat desserts or cream. Unfortunately both of you are oh' so wrong. Nope. That's getting closer, if you...

I know the feeling. Congratulations and I hope to see at the virtual hearth for many years to come.:)

I have a Fjallraven Jacket that I use Greenland wax on, it does darken it slightly and it will stiffen up a little as well. The heavier the amount of wax you put on the stiffer it gets, but the greater the level of proofing you get. Greenland wax is quite hard though. Using a wax preperation...

101 Uses for Stinging Nettles by Piers Warren. This is the second of two books that I was recently given for my Birthday, both books were cheap and cheerful costing only £5.95 delivered with Amazon Prime. Just to clear up any confusion this book is not a series of tutorials, there are a few...

John as Rick said get yourself an external drive for backup, also get yourself a linux boot disc. You can normally read and copy most anything on a windows drive from linux, all you have to do is mount the drive. This comes in handy if the boot sector of the drive becomes corrupt or fails.

Shack, it's small and light, so if the bookcase really is groaning then you will probably get away with it.

Sorry to hear this John, I hope all is sorted soon. P.S. The title of this thread almost sounds like a type of Fungi a bit like Amethyst Deceiver.

I'm gonna be reading Piers Warrens book 101 Uses For Stinging Nettles in about 10 minutes.

British Native Trees Their Past and Present Uses; including a guide to burning wood at home. By Piers Warren. I was recently bought this book for my Birthday, I had seen it and expressed an interest. I do enjoy carving, but do far too little of it and although I have a fair amount of...

Hey Andy, thanks for getting in touch, you have an email.

Yeah I approved the post.

finnmike, the reason for the post dissapearing is that although you are a full member you are new to the forum, this means that all of your posts go into a moderation queue. When you edited the first post it counts as a new post to the software and as such it has to go back through the...

You have a PM.

Quite correct, only a brainless zombie would buy it.

The 800gm Trekking axe is the one inbetween in length alone, weight wise it's probably heavier in the head. I haven't got an 800gm trekking axe here at the moment, I have got the 900gm one here. I could get a photograph of one of these alongside of the GB SFA, GB Hunters, HF SY20, HF Splitting...

A belated Many happy returns for the day

Over here these are reffered to as trekking axes (I hava trade account with them). One has a 8oogm head and the other has a 900gm head. The 800gm head we tend to refer to as the man hatchet, good for splitting and not bad as a pack axe for travelling, don't expect it to replace a felling axe...
