I wonder how many people here have seen the film The War Game. I saw it in Ireland when it was banned in UK. It’s been broadcast several times since it’s 20 year ban. Far from horrifying me it made me realise how little I can do (but I can do that little.) and how very important cooperation...

I believe that attitude to living is one of the most important issues in well-being. (It’s, in part only, why I seek adequacy rather than perfection.) If I were to be concerned about supplies of material currently available to me such as energy, food or water, I have the capacity and will to do...

…….. with the Knightly Headbanger? Who is to be the unfortunate recipient of its attentions?

@Woody girl If that was a serious question - No you shouldn’t worry. There is a huge difference between forgetfulness associated with aging and clinical memory loss/confusion. There was a New Scientist article about the difference published a few weeks ago. I’ll dig it out if it’s of...

@sacreman This has been much discussed here in BcUK. An exchange of views (please- among other subjects) could be interesting. Maybe provide material for your second edition.

In BcUK IRC, an SAK and an FAK are mandatory EDC. IMHO @Woody girl is right acronyms in conversation = NBG. For reasons beyond my understanding a handkerchief and my car keys don’t count so I don’t EDC an HK or CK’s

Ah! Perhaps it could make a good bushcraft flypaper. There had to be some use for it. I’m with @Tengu and I’m not going to stick that stuff in my mouth.

Hi, Welcome.

Right, I know that you perfectionists are going to cringe but I’m an adequist, I’ve spent fifteen minutes on this and it will do. In the words of the man who invented the automotive clutch: C’est moche, mais ça marche. It’s ugly but it works. It’s strong enough to support a pan full of food...

I asked for an old pole when they replaced ours. The Polish (well he was!) team leader would have given it to me for fire wood but persuaded me not to take it. Apparently the tar quickly clogs up any saw that you use on it including chain saws.

Well done! I’m looking for a replacement for mine and can’t find one. It’s the old style - two tubes and four bits of bent wire. My old one has mouse holes and a certain amount of strain. I’m 20% heavier than it’s rating!

I’ve wondered about that set. Tastey It doesn’t work on the only #8 that I have because it’s a plastic “Outdoor”. They only do it for the #8 - it’s their most popular size. Have you seen the barbecue set based on the twelve? It includes the #12B with a 160mm blade. I just haven’t got €100...

I presume that originated from sun protection rather than rain. Do you have a sadetikka :)

I seem to remember that umbrella originally meant “little shade” in Italian. I think Parasol / Parasole (Against the sun) was originally Italian too. They’ve always done sun well down there. The inhabitants of this soggy little island and other Northern Europeans adapted it as a rain guard or...

On it :22:!

Remember this? :) Well now I’ve added a small mod. The spring open is very useful when gripping sausage but you need to keep a tight grip when using it as a handle for more than lifting a pot. eg. I eat my porridge from the pan in which I cooked it. I’ve never dropped it - yet! The pin...

This is the view to which I referred. At no point did I criticise this policy or its author. I believe this source to be appropriate. I repeat: I have not knowingly written anything that is untrue or undocumented.
