I’m quite disappointed that on a forum such as this that people are recommending cheap, mass produced foreign products. I would have thought we were collectively more environmentally conscious than that, and would be more interested in locally sourced materials and hand crafted items? :dunno:

When I bought my binoculars they came with a chest pack. I wasn’t too keen at first but the extra pockets are handy and I’ve got a few bits good to go now that would have normally rattled around in my game bag or been moved from one jacket to the next often being forgotten about. They have their...

Give me a shout if you like I’d be happy to make them to your size and specs. :encourage:

Meh… the old nonsense of “cotton kills” is (imho) a load of baloney. I think it comes from the days when cotton was used in 90% of the garments one wore. I always wear a decent cotton t-shirt as a base layer and have never had any issues when it gets wet. Unless you’re in a cold, wet environment...

Anyone here like tinned salmon? For me it’s the only one that doesn’t work. Never really liked it for some reason, and unless I’ve missed it nobody has mentioned it yet…

Lidl used to do herring in a mustard sauce. I haven’t seen them in a while now, but then I did stop looking. They were delicious!

Yeah… you’re running low on tuna!

Recipe please?! :D

Croeso Deano, Good to have another local here! I’m about an hour south of you, and there’s a couple other folk not too far away either. Get stuck in, you’re in the right place! :encourage:

Land of the midnight sun

Golf course or woodland or anything in between the deer will taste different depending on the season as they move from one food resource to the next. I let mine hang for a maximum of 7 days and then do all the butchery at once as it does lose its flavour if left any longer.

A little bit off piste for the thread but I’m sure you (and others here) will find this interesting if you haven’t already come across it….

The only thing I dislike about mine is the shape of the hood. It finishes at the top of my head and the back is all stretched and pulling. Hard to describe but a bigger hood would suit me better personally.

Planning on sharing more adventures in 2026.

Hi all. I’ve been getting all nostalgic recently and remember having one of these things years ago when they were all the rage. Just wondering if anyone has one kicking about in a drawer they don’t want. Here’s a picture if you’re unsure as I’ve no idea on the official name for these little...

Excellent bit of kit but I wouldn’t reccomend it for any kind of activity for the reason you mentioned. I took one to Canada last year and during the one rainstorm we had it held up well though we were just floating along on the river at that point.

Funnily enough I just finished handling a 6lb rounding pattern this week. Probably never going to use it but it’s taken pride of place on the workshop “axe wall”.

He’s done another series. Well, actually I think this could be the third or fourth time he’s done it but this one I like the best so far…

Studies have shown that simply “being in nature” improves one’s mental health considerably. Of course, we all know that. But do we do enough of it?…

Sounds like you need to have a chat with Sam! @Man of Tanith
