Can't beat a proper full english :) If you want to make it into a 'bushy breakfast' then forget the mushrooms and substitute with a 3/8" slice from a nice big fresh giant puffball, fried in butter and used like a platter to put everything else on. Superb ! :)

Let's say it's done a few miles ;)

If you ever want solid stainless wire (as oppsed to the braided stuff you'll get with brake cables) look in the Yellow Pages for a local 'Fabricator and Welder'. Stainless welding wire comes in a variety of thicknesses and is amazingly useful stuff or all sorts of projects. A professional...

Around camp, or on a dedicated wood-cutting trip the Bahco Laplander is a better tool. I have both the Laplander and an Opinel saw. Mine is a slightly different design Opi to the one you've shown in that it doesn't lock closed and has a standard Opinel knife handle shape. The Opinel gets used...

I reckon I know why we've not seen Fluffy here.... He's disappeared off to the Bahamas for a week on the money he's saved since yesterday morning :lmao:

Buy something not too expensive. Then learn to use it. Properly. Then, and only then, will you truly understand how 99% of tasks can be achieved with 99% of knives. It's how easy those particular tasks are to complete with a particular knife that determines the right knife for you and the work...

If there is any chance that you will ever want the same tool again, buy quality and only buy once. Knipex make the best cutters I've ever used and they last for ever. These will make very light work of a 3mm nail. I carry my own set of these when pike fishing with jerk-baits. They'll cut a big...

Just as a word of caution. I'm certain that spear fishing in fresh water is against the law in the UK. I know that in many US states the carp is regarded as a pest fish, in fact there are places where it is illegal to return a caught carp to the water alive, but you get spotted spearing carp...

Fiebings won't rub off if you get it properly dry before use Toddy. Just don't polish or buff it after application and it will keep a matt finish.

Sorry fella, but there isn't a single 'legal without a licence' air pistol in Britain that would be anything like humane to use for hunting live quarry. Air pistols are limited to 6ft/lbs muzzle energy by law in the UK (Air rifles are limited to 12ft/lbs) and this is nowhere near enough power to...

Kawasemi, I'm on BCUK as well as BB :). PM here if you need to get in touch. "Hello, my name is Longstrider and I'm a BB-aholic" Hope you can put it all back together again soon Martyn !

If you want an air rifle to help cope with a **** situation then you need to stick to your original plan of something that does not rely on pre-compressed air or CO2 'bottles'. The golden rule with any **** situation preparedness kit is K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Stupid ! :) ) If it can break it...

Newspapers, fire starter matches :confused: Surely, you use your bow-drill to make an ember, transfer the ember to your tinder bundle and blow it to life, then add that to some secondary tinder+twigs and use THAT to light the charcoal ? Well, that or a jet-flame lighter ! :lmao:

As if I'd stir things up ;) Only three things I'd change with them really.. The blade, the handle and the type of grind :lmao: Who says I don't like 'em ? :)

Just take the back legs off and roll them in some beaten egg, then Paxo breadcrumbs. Deep fry them as you would chicken drumsticks and eat as the same Yum. If the cull goes really well you might want to think about saving the tails, especially at this time of the year when they are full and...

Camp isn't properly set up until the first brew of tea is made ;) That having been said, omce the sun is over the yard-arm and the evening chill begins to decend, it simply has to be good Jamaican rum, and no shortage of it ! :)

SAK saws are great for parting the pelvis on muntjack and fallow. Makes butchering them, and removing the bladder+'pipework' intact from bucks easy. If you're careful about the way you use it, you can use the saw to cut poles/logs up to twice as thick as the saw is long without problems. I...

If you can find a local (to you) supplier of stuff for theatre use, or a friendly techie from a theatre or drama group, try asking for a little red 'gel' ;) Gels are the coloured filters used on theatrical lamps and will withstand a good amount of heat and hard-ish wear if you don't need...

Bless ! :lmao: Let's hope that some kind relative bought him a nice new Laplander for Xmas so he can deal with dead 3" "..some sort of local hardwood" properly next time :lmao:

Hi Toddy, 440 is a fairly typical stainless steel used for lower-cost blades. Not an especially good steel, but perfectly serviceable. The fact that it's advertised as "Toledo steel" is a throw-back thing. Toledo was the traditional 'home' of steel in Spain (Like Sheffield here) and was...
