Does anyone here have any experience of ancestry DNA? I’ve been thinking of getting a kit just out of curiosity. My ancestors have lived in the same geographical religion for 300+ years, and I know that’s only a minute portion of human history I’d be interested to know how far beyond that it...

Take your time, I’m sure you’ll see plenty. That’s a good busy team. I’m with South snowdonia. I dip in and out though depending on how busy things get, especially juggling with family etc now. But yes, it’s good to help those who need it.

Here’s one I made which is just the top section of an old oil drum with some rocks around it. I buried it a few inches in and laid sand around for insulation against the forest floor.

Yeah. Wales is pretty wet ;-) I suppose it is different for each team but anything of that nature the cas-carers would be under a bothy bag for us and the cas-card and sharpie would be in the medkit. What team are you on?

To be honest a motorway commute will be much kinder on your vehicle than all the stop start back and forth you’d do round town, think about the amount of cornering, braking, pot holes and speedbumps. That being said, preventative maintenance goes a long way and I think you’re wise to (quoting...

Yeah. I guess I’m pretty gifted in that I can remember those kinds of things. I would recommend having a look into A-H and SCRIM and just practice them when you’re out and about. Not a replacement for notepad if that works for you but will serve you well. I’d also ask yourself that when you...

Pigs too. And they will dig up and consume the roots too! That being said I have a friend who mimicked the grazing and just kept on pulling them up, (it was quite a small patch mind) and after about 3 years the plant was exhausted and didn’t come back.

Hugh seems like such a nice chap, that’s really cool you met him and he signed it for you. Myself and my uncle had always planned on doing their “pig in a day” course. He first taught me to make bacon and sausage, unfortunately he passed last year before we had chance to do the course. Yes...

Been on the lookout for that one myself. It was his first tv show too and iirc he had a narrow boat, and I’m sure something like a camper van too.

I grew nasturtiums once thinking they’d be a lovely addition to salads etc and hopes some capers might form too. All I ended up with was the hugest colony of greenfly the world has ever seen! :yuck:

There are plenty of NCFE courses being run now by various people. I did one a few years back with Wildway Bushcraft, they’re pretty far from Scotland though but I’d say that qualification or the IOL Bushcraft are the two recognised standards at the moment. Remember though like any...

I’ve been a volunteer for my local mountain rescue team for 9 years now. I’ve never used or had use for a notepad in the field like that and don’t really see one tbh. Only thing I’ve ever needed to write was a phone number and that went on my phone that I used to call it.

Chicken and vegetable pie tonight… Here’s the leftovers :-)

Nobody is “driven” to use temu! :lmao: Folks use it because 1. It’s a fad 2. They can get cheap crap and satisfy their consumerist tendencies. He actually said “not too expensive if possible” but that’s an entirely subjective question. Expensive for me could be cheap for someone else.

I also prefer streaky bacon. Don’t know why but belly makes better bacon at home imo. I think it’s more versatile when it comes to cooking etc.

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...
