    Sold Crosman 1377 American Classic air pistol.

    I think the legality is with the sale rather than the postal situation, the sale has to be made face to face, but there's a loophole whereby a registered dealer can act as a proxy. So I can sell you an air rifle online, but I can't post it to you directly, I could post it to your local gun shop...

    Brought home to me

    It's certainly the most poetic post for some time, I enjoyed it. I'd suggest a poetry thread but I imagine that it'd rapidly become truly awful, I'd give it 'til the weekend before we saw the first attempt to rhyme Mears with Deers. As for power cuts/running out of electric: I live with...

    Ground sheet fabric?

    What purpose is the groundsheet to serve? Do you want it to be waterproof or not? Will you be using a bivvy bag? When you say "lavuu" are you referring to a Polish shelter half? Do you want a "bathtub" type groundsheet? What's your budget?

    Boker

    Ah ok, I've only seen pictures but it doesn't look great. The secondary bevel on the XL is really steep too, quite possibly 30° steep as hillbill suggested, really not a carver, it cuts ok though.

    Boker

    Thanks for that, mine arrived a couple of days ago (the bushcraft xl) I'll do a little write up at some point. I think "not very good at all" is doing it a bit of an injustice really, it's far from perfect but there's nothing massively wrong with it.

    Böker bushcraft xl

    As the title says really, böker bushcraft xl, does anyone have an opinion of it? Anyone owned one for a while? Anyone used one for anything specific and found it to be excellent/shite? Just looking for opinions on a "bushcraft" knife. Cheers, Stuart.

    Slow cooker.

    Why are you worried about fire? I know that feasibly it's possible for domestic electrical appliances to cause fire but it's really not very likely. How do you think this fire is going to start? As an aside: if I wanted to breed bacteria, the way I'd go about it is to get some food, add...

    What are you worried about? Because it's clearly not food poisoning...

    Coffee Cups

    No problem, I should get on to contigo for a commission at this rate. One word of advice, make sure your drink's at slurping temperature before you set off because it's not going to cool down much at all in an hour.

    Waterproof kilt...?

    Through hikers over the pond have been using "rain skirts" for decades, I'd guess they're one of Ray Jardine's innovations, I've never tried myself them but I imagine they'd be a bit sweaty. I have used waterproof chaps, which obviously aren't so sweaty in the crotch area, my waterproof coat...
