    When is your day?

    Have spent many of my formative years on shift work I much prefer a late day. If somethings messes up my schedule I revert to being awake at night. A mate of mine is the opposite and wakes up at 4am and gets all his office work done by the time most of his colleagues arrive.

    What is wrong with people

    My friend installed stock fencing along side the footpath that runs down the side of his field. People complained to the council because they had always had the run of it for walking their dogs. Many had left **** everywhere. Once the fence was up some of those who did bag it threw it into the...

    What’s everyone using for fire lighting this winter?

    Quite often ration pack matches as I have a fair few. Long matches for the house wood burner or alcohol stove. Bic lighter in the shirt pocket for back up. Ferro rod and tinder with the field twig burner. I have mini ferro rod (not very ergonomic but works) packed with some fire dragon...

    Found Wanting: Get Home Prep Failure

    For something like that primarily money. With transport failures you can quite often be told to find your own alternative or accommodation and then claim compensation. Even if the rules say otherwise. I’ve slept in the odd airport terminal or bus depot. Some ground insulation it I can...

    Thermal Trousers Recommendations?

    Tights with the feet cut off was popular on site in the winter “when I were a boy”. I have a cheap pair of polypro long johns. They seem as warm as the marino ones I have. Tend to wear the cheaper ones when working. I also have some moleskin like shooting trousers (Percussion or New Forest...

    Because we all know Gremlins never happened. Chunk from the Goonies made it up as a prank.

    Gaseous Tritium Lights

    As least it’s not on their helmets! Luminescent plankton is quite bright when there are no artificial light sources. Not sure how effective it would be for a light source on land but an interesting concept. I could see working it as a marker.

    I am sorry to say one of my cats caught a weasel the other day. He’d only been out for tens minutes the sod.

    Speaking to the team they are convinced and that the number of rare species has improved. Some work does take place to make sure there are half cut trees over paths for example.

    No one knows where it came from': first wild beaver spotted in Norfolk for 400 years

    I was luck and got close up to some on a few years ago for a licensed project. I kinda like the aspect of seeing the evidence of their presence but the animal is elusive. There is a badger set not far from the lodge too.

    I haven’t, the estate team do. The damn is on a footpath and people do watch the beavers working on summer evenings.

    Pathfinder Bottle Stove/stand alternative?

    The Jolmo Lander and Lixada are pretty much copies of the USMC issued GI cup stand and fit the system. You can get the Army GI cup stand on eBay. Originals are best, copies are slightly off dimension but can be made to work.
