    Kevan Palmer Fermentation Workshop

    One of these years I am going to brew up some ramsons. A couple of years ago I made a garlic chilli and onion sauerkraut that tasted amazing, but was extremely pungent. One day I took some to work for lunch. People some distance away complained to the building management about the smell of gas...

    Anyone know what this is?

    It's a neat clump of vegetation about 8 inches across. My first thought was some sort of failed bird's nest but it was under a low thorn tree with no sign of anything in the tree. This was the second one of these I found. The first was almost identical in construction and again not under a...

    Something to think about in the New year; GIS

    The data is available:https://data.gov.uk The problem is finding it in format that you can understand. It would appear that the government doesn't want the public to be able to freely and easily use the data, thus creating a market for companies to exploit by selling it on. The Environment...

    The 2018 collection

    I'd say you were looking good: less reminiscent of Henry VIII and more of Col. Faulkner. The new gear is looking good too. Z

    Begginers Stuck

    Hi Ashley My advice would be "Get outside! ". There's a risk when you want to copy something you have seen online that you end up wasting time watching videos and money buying kit when you could be enjoying the outdoors and learning first hand from nature. Go for a walk. Take a bag. Take...

    Bushcraftuk.com seems less and less populated nowadays.. :(

    I found a BCUK patch the other day that has never made it onto a pack and I confess that I thought that maybe it wasn't worth putting it on as nobody would know or care what BCUK was anymore. Loads of members; few new threads. Threads that just boil down to "take a look at my new video ". Every...

    not that impressed with robin wood knife

    I think people mis-understand what Robin Wood set out to do with his spoon carving tools. I don't think he wanted to sell "boutique " blades; he was trying to provide a set of reasonably priced tools that would enable anyone starting out in greenwood carving to get going without having to learn...

    LK-35 recommended pouches

    These match quite well: https://www.militarymart.co.uk/swedish-coupling-webbing-system/ A bit small perhaps, but I managed to use the rest of the webbing system to attach them without sewing. Z

    A bit of upcycling.

    Yeah I have had three electric swatters. All now in a landfill. Only the first one was really effective but the handle broke. The later ones just stunned the flies so they would reanimate in the bin later. Z

    A bit of upcycling.

    We have had a bit of a plague of flies just lately. I suspect something died outside the kitchen window and attracted them. The plastic fly swat I bought last year from Olivanders snapped before the battle had really begun. A quick look at EBay promised more plastic ones could be had for a few...
