    Wow, a tarp Adze? That much oxygen would blow your hair and clothes off before your ember got within a foot of it. Nevertheless, I think probably people aren't going to support you much in this if you can't have a giggle along the way Bushwhacker. The science is accepted, pretty much everyone...

    I have to admit... this is now my preferred idea. Just think how that would cut out tedious cooking times - Flame-grilled T-bone steak in a flash! literally :D

    Accused of stealing a canoe

    Aww. If she is the one in the wrong (false accusation etc) then let her be the one to feel bitter and twisted about it and you carry on as you were. Its really her deal, not yours.

    Lol! I don't know about 'us folks being quicker' If it was just me we'd probably be eating sushi. If it was Charlie doing the hard bit for me I'd have fire for you in about 5 mins! :D So this mouth piece?? Any chance of some piccies to see exactly what ur up to? Woods, i think have been talked...

    Accused of stealing a canoe

    I think Ogri has the best idea for convering your back. This does remind me of a couple of similar incidences I've had where I've later found out at the pub or from neighbours that the person is known for being a bit loopy. With one the week before it had been someone else's garden furniture she...

    Hi Vector (and welcome as I see this is your first post :)) - Rich is actually a hand drill guru and me who was asking... Your leather thing sounds nifty, but doesn't it burn through quite quickly? I've been trying to practice the kind of 'washing hands' motion that you see people do which...

    Woodlore Woodsense Course

    Having said that, it was 2003 or 4 when I did it, so it may have changed a bit since then.

    Woodlore Woodsense Course

    It is relaxed - except for one night when we did some crazy games in the pitch dark haring about it the woods :) That was fun. Don't expect to come out of it knowing how to track every animal under the sun - mostl y it teaches you to track people quite well.... on the principle that if you...

    Brainwave - feel free to expand on it.

    I love this idea :lmao: , but have a feeling it would only work if you were using water that has been heavily churned recently (e.g. mountain streams), where the water is already super saturated in dissolved oxygen (DO - not the same as bubbles, which are not dissolved). If it was any old water...

    This thread made me giggle :) - but I'm with you too Bushwhacker - and I'm going to think about it. I'm sure there is something in the density of oxygen - isn't it heavier than 'air'? In which case it should just be a case of keeping the bottle the right way up (and a lid) as long as you...

    Post might be a bit expensive, but how about making the trip down, horses, wagon and all? ;) I love this site, the longer I'm on it, the more I'm drawn in - so many people with such a lot of knowledge. I don't know where else I'd ask some of my questions! Am already psyching myself up for the...

    I haven't got any photos! So far only done one and that was a bodge because the man wanted it done a certain (wrong) way and I'm not proud of it. Still got another to do now from scratch, the right way so hopefully that will be better! Will take photos then. Bit nervous....need to practice sign...

    Thanks Richard! Wow that was a speedy reply! Poor Charlie :) I only see him perhaps once a year, he might object to my using him for hard labour that short time. Its actually phases 1 and 2 i find hard - exerting downward pressure...but i guess i should keep practicing and the muscles will come...

    Can anyone, including Rich, describe Rich59's three phases of hand drill to me again? I found them really helpful and labour-saving at the moot....although that might also have been cos Charlie did most of the work ;)
