Warthog's post was the closest I've ever come to getting a divorce ;) https://bushcraftuk.com/community/threads/wilkinson-sword-woodlore-stuart-mitchell-sgian-dubh-and-dirk.100063/

The OP asked the question I said ie he would be legal if he can prove good reason or lawful authority. So I think we agree?? He is not legal without good reason, ie it's not like a small SAK where you don't need good reason as the hatchet does count as a bladed article under S139 Is that...

Never heard of anyone getting arrested. General advice is be polite and you should be ok if you can show good cause.

Yes, I think this section is still relevant. Doesn't discriminate between a knife or axe, all bladed articles. Good reason defence applies Section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act (CJA) 1988 prohibits having an article with blade or point, in a public place (including a folding pocket knife if...

Agreed, this looks very good but I am very risk averse, especially with money (hey I'm scottish!! ;) ) In truth, it's taken me a long and hard struggle (and a fair bit of luck) to get from being brought up by a struggling single parent to where I am now. Old habits are hard to break. I do...

Always a question on how much you are prepared to lose. Investment is always about risk vs reward. High risk = high reward or low risk = low reward and various shades in between. At the moment ISA's are pretty poor as they are pretty safe and ditto with 'high' interest savings accounts. If...

Warhammer is the crack cocaine of gaming! :D There to remove pocket money from teenagers at an alarming rate. It is much more proscriptive (compulsory rule book adoption if you want to play in store) We used to roleplay/game everything, one of the favourites was Wild West but we did scifi...

I use one of these and frequently forget to empty it but as it's stainless the cottage cheese comes away fine. I'm canoeing in scotland so keeping it cool isn't usually an issue. https://www.tatonka.com/en/product/stainless-steel-bottle-04l/

yup plenty to learn! try sniffing about the canoe wales website (I'm sure you have) https://www.canoewales.com/find-a-club https://www.canoewales.com/find-a-training-provider The best idea would be to get in touch with a local club and join that. You will get loads of support, tips and...

Nope, just make sure you update from Edge itself rather than an email or anything. I'm sure you know this. I don't use it either but from Edge, click on the 3 breadcrumbs in the top right and then on Help and Feedback, then Help and it will take you to a page where you can find the update.

to have fun and mess about with sharp things and burny things in the woods... Just pitching an alternative viewpoint, not to say the skills learned don't have other benefits. :)

I got some of these Rhino Pegs some time ago from ebay. Have never been able to find them since. They are a nylon, automotive type plastic, pretty much unbreakable, I've actually had them bend round a rock in the ground and still hold firm. + cross section so very grippy and were available in...

I've an edgepro I picked up in Oregon some years ago which I drag out maybe once or twice a year to do the kitchen knives and the odd pair of scissors. I have used it on other knives that have secondary bevels, mainly folders, . That's pretty much all it is good for but it does it very, very...

I'm on firefox 80.0.1, no issues

I print a bunch of maps different magnifications/sizes that I may need onto waterproof paper on my laser printer. Apologies for referencing another forum but review here. Soggy maps are one of my pet hates. Game changer for me!

OI!! ;)

No, as I understand it, your rate gets assigned when you start, as you say there are people out there with some stonking FIT rates. This changes. Note I carefully said 20p per unit. This is a simply Dosh/Export Units calculation. I am assuming my Export meter units are kWh but...

Panels and battery may be a better way to go then. You are a lot further south so maybe 6 or 8 should cover your consumption and leave a bit over for charging. Need to balance this against the cost of the extra panels. Inverter and battery are the more costly items. Don't think there is a...

I'd be tempted to go with a wind generator. You normally need the power in the evenings. Up here in winter it's dark at 1600 so lights are on until about midnight, 8 hrs. If you had a deep cycle you could consume that in the evenings from the juice you had stored up during the day. But they...

I've an array of 16, on a good sunny day they generate about 3.2kWh peak. (I'm in Scotland roof is about 20degress off south) Think the best I have pulled in a day is about 23kWh. My last quarters income was £270. So far I am about £400 under their estimated income after 7 years. They give...
