    Dogs - who owns what and how did you choose it?

    That's very interesting, do you have the names of the books? I'd like to look them up. And yes, whether the alpha theory is true or not, it's the dynamics of the pack that count, imho.

    Dogs - who owns what and how did you choose it?

    Wow do you think it is a good thing to say that the dog is going to be put to sleep to your son as a deterrent ? Especially if he is old enough to make the connection that it could his *fault*? That opens up a whole new can of worms that maybe really detrimental in the long run. And If he is, as...

    COLD HANDS AND FEET

    Oh I've had that a lot on bcuk. Just click on the decathlon logo on that page or I usually copy and paste link directly into search bar at top cos that 'compare better prices' link through is a pain and I don't want to give whoever it is that set that up the satisfaction of knowing what I am...

    Base Layer

    I would def. try and hold on for the merino for all the reasons above. Smart wool and Icebreaker have merino as soft as silk nowadays but it's very very expensive. I saw a merino base layer in Decathlon the other day that seemed reasonable and also very soft but I can't remember off hand how...

    COLD HANDS AND FEET

    https://www.decathlon.co.uk/trek-500-black-liner-gloves-id_8390734.html The green colour way is really nice - quite subtle. I bought light grey and my daughter liked the pink. I got size m/l but if you have small hands I reckon you could go for the smaller size. Men's size would be size up -...

    COLD HANDS AND FEET

    I just bought a pair of glove liners from decathlon for €4 that's like £3 I suppose. they are great and have grips for holding stuff also good when driving to grip steering wheel and metal thread tips for iPhone etc. I've been wearing them constantly then putting mits on over the top when it's...

    Condensed milk and cream

    Don't mention Banoffee Pie. The first and last time I tried it the can of condensed milk exploded in my mother's new kitchen and caramel went on every single square inch of everything. We spent a looooong time clearing it up.

    Day Out Mooch round local woods to field test stove.

    That is really a cool thing and very easy to make. What type of insulation do you use? I'm not sure I can find the carbon felt in the DIY shop but I'll have a look.

    Wild Camping With the Pooch?

    I can never take my dog out into the woods with me overnight because she never settles and barks at any small disturbance. You are prob doing the best thing by training your pup early on to be in the woods with you at night which is something I never did. We always encouraged her to guard our...

    Great thanks, I'm getting myself one of these for sure. I've been struggling with a tiny honey stove for a long time now that's a nightmare to get wood into and I think its time to 'upgrade'. Your videos are fun btw ;-)

    hahaha, omg! It was not so exciting, I'm afraid - I chomped on a piece of bone hidden in some salami and stubbed my toe on the table leg, that'll teach me.

    I will spread the word. Will the instructors be the 'regulars' from Bushmoot or they are not fixed yet?

    CraftMoot 2019

    Ah I saw this on the bushmoot website and it looks incredible and fully catered too. Nice one Tony. I assumed it was part of the summer moot but I've just seen it's in October. Its great to have a separate event, a really good idea.

    Dogs - who owns what and how did you choose it?

    Congrats on the puppy Paul. I've just caught up with the thread. You prob. are already in a routine right now but we bought a 'crate' for our puppy (on the advice of the breeder) (a plastic pet car travel box with grill doors) and she slept downstairs in that right from the first night. For the...
