    Savlon vs Germolene vs Neosporin vs Chloramphenicol

    Vegetarian, gluten free freeze dried camping meals

    Corn flour as flour for making things isn't so hard to get in the UK. Guess it depends where you are. Gram flour is readily available and gluten free. Makes excellent chapattis

    Woodlore Pro is absolutely useless……

    Poor technique not tool. Use your thumb knuckle not thumb tip. Can even use a wooden spoon then.

    Mora 120 alternative

    I'm looking for a cheap and cheerful whittling / carving knife. The Mora 120 firs the bill but in short supply - any suggestions for a similar one? Ideally with a "barrel" handle rather than Erm... sculptured. The Mora Basis would be OK but not keen on that type of handle shape Cheers
