I also live in an area which has thick clay mud with lots of rocks. The best tool that I have found for breaking up the ground to make it easy to dig is a 60" long wrecking bar. It's a 5 foot solid steel pole with a sharp spike on one end and a large flat chisel-like shape at the other. I've...

It was on Radio X.

I use an Elmax Fallkniven F1 and love it. It's a great option if you want 'compact' survival/bushcraft knife but it's too small and lightweight to be an effective chopper. It can chop in a pinch but it will take a lot more time and energy compared to a bigger knife. If you're after a good all...

I might get a pair. Where are they for sale for £39?

Ahh. That's not so bad in that case then. It seems the radio only told me half of the story. Although I do still wonder about gradual 'mission creep' over time with this kind of online privacy thing.

I've never used battery powers heaters but these Zippo hand warmers work well. Either put them in the pockets of your outer coat to keep you hands warm or in the pockets of one of your mid-layers to heat them up.

I heard on the radio this morning that Labour plan on making VPNs illegal in the UK.

I would rather have both. ;) But given the choice between having either useful 'stuff' or metal I would prefer stuff every time.

The number of open silver contracts on COMEX being closed early (that means they will not stand for delivery) has accelerated over the past three days. On the current trajectory if this trend continues then the COMEX will not run out of silver at the end of February as previously forecast...

I'm not sure what you mean. :)

I read a comment on Youtube once from someone who knowingly bought a Chinese fake Fallkniven F1 from AliExpress to compare it to a real one. Turns out it was actually a really good knife. Not quite as good as the original Fallkniven but still virtually identical and had 95% of the performance...

They've been stringing us along with these jokes but we've cottoned on now. Well they won't rope us in with any more of these puns.

That sounds interesting. I might have to give it a try.

Backed beans would be a definite first place! :D The other four places would be soups of various varieties. Whatever you like the taste of best but go for good quality thick ones with plenty of vegetables and meat rather than the watery varieties of soup. Thick ones will generally be more...

2 x Jack Pyke Sherpa fleeces. I got the hoodie last week and have just ordered the matching zip up jacket today. They're not quite as warm as a Buffalo Special 6 but they still feel plenty warm enough when worn under a Keela Munro jacket so will do for now. The quality seems pretty good for the...

Just a quick update. The Buffalo Special 6 in a size 38 which I bought on here (hughtrimble has been an absolute gent to deal with btw) was slightly too tight under my armpits so I'm still on the lookout for either another Buffalo Special 6 but in a size 40 or a Snugpak SJ9 jacket in a size...

A good bushcraft channel. https://www.youtube.com/@greencraft4783/videos

Sigh... ;)

That's the main problem with copper as an investment prospect. It's not value dense like gold and silver so it takes up so much damn space.

I didn't recognize that grade so had a look on the interwebz and couldn't find any mention of it. Do you mean a HB grade pencil? (that was always my general go to pencil in school)
