<———- 300mm / 1 foot. ————> I bought this from a junk shop with the intention of cutting up the blade to make a couple of folding knives. It’s 300mm long total. 200mm x 30 - 35mm blade. 3mm at the spine flat ground. (seeing eye)TAYLOR WITNESS SHEFFIELD ENGLAND It’s kitchenware and so...

My garden is purposely messy for the benefit of an ecology that includes me! :lmao:

I’d like to claim that my non-mowing intervals were as well planned. I certainly won’t be cutting grass until after May. I want to see the May blossom and (with luck) the May bugs before that happens. The front garden is mown once in the Autumn around the time that I cut the hedge. I count...

This was the knife carried by a lot of scouts in the late fifties. My brother had one exactly like it. They were also available with leather ring handles. They came in at least three sizes. Yours looks to be the largest. I’m imagining a blade length of some 150mm. Dunno about cheap - around...

Dunno what it’s called but it looks like a very useful tool for grubbing out shrubs and small trees, hacking roots. Useful for ground clearance or fence posts. I like it.

Hi, Welcome.

Hi, Welcome.

The same can be said of Dire Wolves but even Colossal Biosciences admit that there is only a superficial genomic similarity. They weren’t even white!

I use this: So useful. All sorts of stuff in the end pockets - augers, spare guyline, cups, pre-prepared hot flask, mallet, sleep mat etc etc etc. Most important: No stress in tipping rain or with frozen fingers trying to strike camp.

White cattle with black points. Yes very probably Park Cattle. Most thinking these days says that “de-extinction” is impossible. Anyone attempting it would be faced with huge web of variations in combinations of DNA

For obvious reasons, I have been reading a number of reviews of the Eurohike Sandero4. The mostly positive reviews throw up two general issues that tent manufacturers, not just Eurohike, need to address: 1. Either: The bag needs clearly to indicate that the pegs enclosed with this tent are...

It is probably worth you looking for a buyer. That looks a bit specialised. Someone must want it. However, I do not have anything to offer “The Gift It On” thread should It ever wake up again. I wouldn’t wear it myself as I’m a 3X sort of guy but would put it in store. I live in fairly...

There is another drumbeat answer to “why not?” Simply because I would very rarely use it. I acknowledge that I must have a very different lifestyle from most people here. I hear you all - you use your Swiss Army knives three times before lunch (to almost quote) but I do not. I have just...

Eurohike Sandero 4. Purchased to replace my Gellert Atlantis 3 (4 person) tunnel tent. OK so I’m a ground dwelling tent snail. I can live with that. I’ve always had a fairly large Tunnel tent to back up the tipi which I am continually modifying. This next modification, a new and redesigned...

Yep. It must be Spring. Just received the Vernal invitation for a wrinklies Covid jab.

Strip an A10 motorcycle engine right down to split con rod, bolt by bolt. I have rarely got past removing cables Amals and rocker box. Sing (in imagination) through my repertoire of sea shanties. Rarely get far. I either drop off to sleep or get a dig in the guts because I’m not imagining...

Hi, Welcome.

Hi, Welcome.

Just to be clear, my photos are not recent. I’ll be camping with a couple of daughters and their six year olds tomorrow for a couple of nights. It looks as if the gods of fire and canvas are going to be kind. Last week we were preparing the little ones for thunder and torrential rain. We rely...

Totally agree with @Broch . You’ve made some memories. Thanks for sharing. I have to say that I have very little time for 8 inch bent wire tent pegs. I wouldn’t recommend mine to a back packer but I also carry just four ten inch nylon augers (available everywhere). I have learned to have...
