I agree. Not the usual toes of either otter or badger. The phalanges are too extended and splayed for our natives, with the very definitive deep claws too. Too small to be a pine marten so my best guess would be a raccoon, I believe their numbers are growing in the uk albeit at a slow rate. They...

I would be interested to inspect some of the hair that is on the ground next to the track to see what information that would give.

Looks like a raccoon print to me.

As some of you know, I am a follower of Christ. I often don’t partake in “religious debate” here as in the past I’ve been ridiculed and belittled because of my faith. So I will just ignore any comments other than what Chris is referring to. We are all aware of the Ten Commandments set before...

The mountain men (1980) is an absolutely fantastic tale! Very similar to Jeremiah Johnson but a bit less aggressive. I always remember watching The river wild whenever I went to my aunts as well.

If that’s your idea of Christmas. I gotta be there for new year!

Opened my box today. Many thanks for the collection of items I received! :cool:

A very Merry Christmas to all today! May you all be filled with the love, joy and peace that the lord brings on this very special day. :camping: :christmas1: :present: :)

Fantastic photograph. Well deserved! Well done to all who took part this year and thank you to Steve for organising it all too. :cool:

Haha! Are you here all week?! All jokes aside, I should probably weigh it though and find out.

The results are in… salmon side is delicious!

Always proper home made stuffing! Sorry I don’t know quantities as I just wing it, but do what feels right… Breadcrumbs Fresh sage Diced onions (sautéed in lots of butter) Crushed chestnuts Sea salt and pepper Add some cooled veg stock and bind with an egg. Fill the cavity of a bird of your...

Just about to pop a side of salmon in tonight ready for Christmas!

It depends… I’m pretty minimalist in some of the gear I take on trips and I like to use the same things for many different scenarios. Eg my cooking kit hasn’t changed in about 12 years now, I’ve figured out what really works and very happy with it all. However…. I do have a rather large axe...

Nice one Chris. Thanks for sharing the photos. :-)

Waterwalker by bill mason is fantastic!

I think a few people lost their lives on the pilgrimage too. A shame but understandable really.

I would guess that the powder needs to be right in order to have enough oxygen around it in order to simply smoulder and not ignite. Too fine = tightly packed and no oxygen so it will go out and too coarse = too much oxygen and it will become flame. Think similarly to a bow drill ember. It is...

The set up is around £40-50 so pretty accessible really. The dust is key though, and unfortunately not replicable easily either. I’ve tried with many of my commercial woodworking machines and nothing can create the same coarseness of dust that’s needed for it to work properly.
