I have his other books and this would be nice too. This is our Quince tree. It has lived in the back garden for many years. The flowers are beautiful and the fruit makes a very good jam. We got it after I collected some Quince pears from the woods I used to be a 'keeper on and made some 'Jelly...

you can get the 'easy open' ones as Sara says have one side ready to go when you take it from the container. this type of thing (No affiliation, just the first result when i googled single handed plasters)...

Personally i find the shemaghs a little too bulky when used as a scarf and a little too small when used as a head covering. I prefer a cheche. Made of thin cotton, 5 or 6 feet long and about 2 feet wide or so. It's long enough to wrap round the head and tuck in with some spare to use as a face...

Yes mine does get used a fair bit. It's my go to fixed blade. Custom scales i selected fitted by a good friend. I made the leather sheath. Can't say I've ever had a problem with the blade chipping myself. if i need to break bone i use the back of the blade and smack the bone when under tension...

Thanks guys using 2 garments is an option but I would like to avoid it if possible.

HI I'm looking for a waterproof, winter coat (fleece lined or padded) but it must be able to pack down small - say to the size of a 3 season sleeping bag or so. Decent pockets would be useful too. Any ideas? I've only seen large waterproof that don't pack down or padded jackets which aren't...
