Hi, Welcome.

Hold the scraper still where you want the spark and PULL the ferro beneath it.

First time I ever saw a six string bass, a guy called Nathan East walked onto the stage of Guitar Legends with something that looked like the Reading section of the M4 strapped to his chest. Things have moved on!

I always carry two small reels of wire in the car. The thicker is 2mm and the thinner is tying wire. The thing uses 2mm. I always cut the bottoms from my (many) cocoa tins because, while they rightly say that they are recyclable, they will never be recycled because the tiny amount of metal is...

I don’t suppose for a minute that this is an original thing but it has recently been very useful: Saw (used unopened) Ferro Fatwood Thing. Anyone who has been camping this winter and who has been dependent on fire will know that lighting a fire in the rain isn’t difficult once you have a...

I see what you are getting at. I’ve Included the reference in my post above in order to clarify exactly what I don’t think is relevant. Artificially generated imagery isn’t about denying the evidence of your own ears and eyes. I am referring to the total deniability of any audio or video...

Not relevant in this case @Chris I am not talking about personal experience. * I am referring to imagery presented after an event as evidence that it happened. It’s a two (at least) edged sword. How soon before I can claim that any photo or audio journalism is fake. I rate so called revenge...

The ultimate objective of the outdoor life: Other than that I’m a coffee drinker!!! It’s educational! I’d never heard of a Tim-Tam! (A light weight open textured clone of a penguin. It is sufficiently open textured that instead of dunking, you bite off each end and suck tea or coffee...

Sorry for double post but: Are we entering the age of Trump truth. Have we yet got sufficiently good at artificially generated images that we have a reasonable defence against any visual or audio evidence against us - “It’s all fake and fraudulent!”

I once got into a discussion with a stone mason doing repairs to Worcester cathedral. I commented that the old skills haven’t disappeared at all. His response was: They might have. We’re better today than they were. We have better tools and a better understanding of stone. We also have far...

Thanks Toddy. What sort of areas are covered by the statement? Here in the midlands yesterday the woods were still sodden. Easter used to be the major fire watch time for the Forestry Commission but that was mainly because of dry bracken. Again, here in the midlands a lot of last year’s...

How often do things go wrong for either buyer or seller? I don’t do much trading but over a long time I’ve never had a problem.

Just back from a walk in Attingham park with daughter. Definitely a spring. No definite colour haze up in the trees yet. The Not-a-tipi being checked out ready for Easter. If this weather holds I’ll take out the leaking tipi as a sort of cupboard next week - the met guys had better get it right!

That’s a shame. No worries.

Between friends that I can’t meet in a reasonable time I just stick cash in a greetings card and post it. It’s a system that has worked well for a long time. The problem is that I have to remember to get cash out of the hole in the wall which is several miles away. Of course there’s a risk...

Now you have to spend three days checking it!

Sorry Chris, I didn’t recognise that “Goods and Services” was a specific PayPal term. (If I’ve got that right :lmao: )

That would stop me. I don’t know how many others don’t have any form of PayPal. My purchases and receipts here on BcUK have all been via my bank.

I’m looking forward to it big time. For me, all camps are mindful but to meet with others who have taken Tony’s description on board and signed up really is a wonderful experience. Thoroughly recommend it.

Yep. Available @ mountain warehouse on line @ £9.99 + pp. Men’s and women’s Don’t know what sizes are available because I’m not signing up for anything to find out.
