The world is a strange place right now, lots of people are feeling stress and anxiety and are venting their frustrations at any target. I'll admit I've limited my time on most forums now because this situation is happening everywhere. It will get better but we can't let this type of on-line...

That would actually be a great idea if spare bags were available. You could remove a full one and just pop a fresh one in. I don't think I've seen anything like that for sale.

It seems like a fair price. My only comment though is that it's often easier to detach a full pouch from your belt using a clip or poppers than to take your belt off to remove it, especially if you've got other things on your belt as well.

I love it when I'm searching the interwebs for something and the most helpful posts crop up from this forum :) Almost 10 years ago to the day as well.

This was helpful, thanks. One thing I like about the Rough rider is the design of the nail nick. I don't know if it makes it any better or worse to use but it just looks better than the standard smooth notches.

The Officer's knife is a good upgrade from the Camper if you're not a big wine drinker. Scissors and a phillips head make it a much better tool. I've retired my Farmer since getting one.

Hi Merv. Yeah that's too modern for what I'm looking for sorry.

Hi Chris. Royal Mail tracked and signed for is £8.50 for a large letter by the looks of it.

As much as I love this little knife I don't use it anymore and I've been thinking about trying a more traditional folder for a while. Ideally I'm after a knife with bone or antler scales and decent quality. The Case Sodbuster Jr with the jigged bone handles would be perfect but I'll consider...

Or maybe the opposite, like part of a cigar humidor cabinet or something.

Did anyone actually get the toothpick firesteel in the end? They don't seem to have made it to the UK in any major way yet for some reason. I've upsized from the Hiker to the Officer's knife now just for the scissors. A worthwhile upgrade for gardening use if nothing else.

Or hide and seek world champion. Sad to see badger baiting still exists in this country. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-49921099 "The court heard the previous convictions of the four defendants - Latcham has 12 previous convictions for 24 offences, including for causing unnecessary...

When did ground up fish waste go from useful organic fertiliser to just being thrown into landfill?

My sister once drove past me picking hazel nuts out of a hedge. She stopped and the conversation went a bit like: 'What the hell are you up to now?' o_O 'Nutting' I replied 'Well you're obviously up to something' :shifty: 'Yeah nutting' 'Fine, don't tell me then!' :mad:

Ouch, poor kids. I'll stick to the whistle cap and carry the water separately I think. My M-kettle can be a bit of a health and safety nightmare when it boils because it spits water about and you have to pick it up by the body of the kettle. It also gets burning sticks stuck to the underside...

I was building a greenhouse last weekend and got the tips of 2 fingers trapped between the sharp edge of one of the panes of glass and a very strong spring clip. If I hadn't had my SAK in my pocket to pry them free I would have been in a bit of trouble.

What were the spines like on the stems? I've got one red variety and it's got much less spines than most of my green ones. The fruit is much sweeter too, more like a grape than a gooseberry. I can't remember the cultivar name now though. There's bushes growing there though that have been...

They take so easily from cuttings that I'd stick to that. Seed could produce a hybrid plant or might even be sterile so if the original plant form is what you want to preserve then cuttings are the way to go.

I feel bad for farmers in a way. Margins can be slim enough without having to pay for commercial waste disposal as well and until someone comes up with a compostable bale wrap they don't have much choice but to use plastic. There are farm dumps near me with metal (including full cars) that...
