    Alternative to a sleeveless cotton vest

    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 a fan of tinned fish?

    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…

    Anyone a fan of tinned fish?

    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!

    Hello from Colwyn Bay

    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:

    free game

    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.

    Portable Power Stations & Solar Generators

    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….

    Ridgeline Monsoon Jacket?

    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.

    Wanted ISO “Israeli” folding stove

    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...

    Ridgeline Monsoon Jacket?

    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.

    Big / Full size axes

    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”.

    Adventure starts…

    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…

    Buschcraft, fishing and PTSD

    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?…

    Found Wanting: Get Home Prep Failure

    I had a somewhat similar situation recently when I had to go and collect our new car it took two trains, a bus journey and a 3 mile walk. (The latter really confused the salesman, 3 miles to him was like walking to the moon!) I was prepared to turn around if I didn’t like the look of the car...
