Something that you can spray on dog mess or bird droppings which dissolves it and breaks it down into safe nothing. Obvious application is tidying up after careless dog owners, probably good for careful ones who don’t want to handle it and more personally I’ve got an issue with pigeons fouling...

It depends when you want money back or what you’re putting it away for. Also consider how involved you want to be with it day to day and your personal attitude to risk…Doing nothing also carries risk of depreciation so you might as well shoulder some risk by doing something. If you’re looking...

Yep, maybe have a look here, if you are concerned about ethical investing. https://bigexchange.com/ Not financial advice, obvs, just an example

Basically I’d split it and do both of the above. The return/odds on premium bonds is ok if you have £10k to put in to start with.

Cyclaire Knives and Tools has them still. In case anyone else is looking. https://www.cyclaireshop.co.uk/pocket-knives/pocket-knives-uk-everyday-carry/joker-uk-edc-knife-carbon-steel-olive&search=Joker+74

Sorry @Broch It wasn’t directed at you.

I agree with this: If only it were the case without groupings and quotas being necessary. But it isn’t so at least someone is trying to do something about it.

Your missing the point, some groups are not treated as equal. They don’t have the same opportunities so these groups have cropped up to try and redress the imbalance that exists in favour of white people. but if we want to talk about left behind white folks, of course there are white poor...

What a great coincidence that the guardian has come up with almost a direct answer to the OPs question and with actually speaking to some minorities... of course it isn’t about the narrow bushcraft side of outdoor pursuits but is relevant nonetheless. If we want to give people the opportunity...

I read it as prepper pig, but we don’t talk about that here. ;) I think it’s one and the same, banned in my household. If there was a Prepper Pig though...

Encouraging diversity actually can be a really great way of broadening your horizons and learning from people who don’t share your perspective. It’s really interesting here to hear when the Finns, Germans, First Nations, and so on pitch in on a topic, their perspectives can be so radically...

I’ve found everyone here very polite, welcoming and accepting. Lots of folk go out of their way to help out folk who are new, starting out or just trying to get ahead. No one really cares where anyone comes from or background in that regard. I’ve not seen anyone being prejudiced or bigoted. That...

sure. For an immigrant to trespass, or commit criminal damage (making fire without permission could be this) could be a criminal act which cost them their immigration status. If they were convicted they may be deported. if this is a misunderstanding of how access law works, please do correct...

oh sorry, perhaps I didn’t put my point across right. I’m not saying that education or being involved in expensive sports is a requirement, more that a lot of folk here have these things so are able to take stuff which others see as barriers for granted. yeah of course going and setting a fire...

I think @Erbswurst is right about the level of education here, there’s a thread about that ticking along at the moment. I’ve been lucky in that way too and I know that sometimes I take confidence for granted. There have been a couple of times I’ve met people who through their personal...

I appreciate that @Woody girl, there are barriers which can be overcome where there is a will, but there are some like your becoming a forest school leader which cannot with all the will in the world. We cannot assume that what can be overcome by us can be overcome by everyone else.

Ok, so there are barriers to bushcraft for certain groups. Living in a city, with only access to public transport could be one. People who are differently abled could have particular barriers. Access to the woods could be an issue, less so in Scotland but down south where you need...

I think a lot of it comes down to time. From what I’ve learned reading here, listening there, trying to plan a trip in the future, bushcraft takes time, to do and learn and there are certain demographics who have more time on their hands. While others have more pressures on theirs. I’ll spare...

Danke

Hi @The Robin, not very long on here myself, but there are a couple of threads already around that kind of question. https://bushcraftuk.com/community/threads/advice-on-an-edc.144966/ https://bushcraftuk.com/community/threads/folding-knife-suggestions.153008/ TBS Boar seems to be quite highly...
