I guess My Side Of The Mountain and it's deffo able to be watched by young scouts when some others are only for older people.

You know the term Minimalist? Often someone who works in an office and doesn't need to carry much more than a laptop about. The work I do requires quite a lot of tools on a day to day basis, plus I have a couple of motorbikes so theres1tools for them also. Anyway, I prefer the term Maximalist...

I bought a Black Diamond headtorch a few years ago (think its a Storm 350 that runs on AAA batteries, I use rechargeables) and as it has two control buttons I'm not constantly cycling through the settings. Right button On Off a d left button goes through settings. It remembers what setting I was...

Personally I'd be sizing this hypothetical shed in plywood sheet sizes. 8'x4' or 2440x1220mm for plywood or 1400x1200 for most OSB boards. then given the choice I'd be making the walls and roof out of SIPS panels for strength and insulation, cladding the walls over it with tin sheets and over...

On a far smaller scale, last year just before Christmas while walking our dog at about quarter to six in the morning I spotted two homeless people sleeping rough under a bridge with two dogs. First time I apologised for disturbing them, then went on my way thinking I could have done something...

Ahh right. Just recently my wife graduated from her Open University masters degree and we went upto sunny Glasgow for the ceremony. Near the venue there was a cafe called Social Bite which was also a charity to help homeless people. This is some bumf off their website which is...HERE. "The...

Seems to me that we don't have a shortage of land, we have a huge amount of land held by a very small number of people for generations. Personally I'd be tempted to charge an inheritance tax on any "agricultural" land over mebbe 3 million in value (dunno about other areas but I dont see many...

I was going to .e tion the lacing system but the bloke on Youtube from Red Branch Bushcraft with the nice (Pointer?) dog has done it far better tha I can explain it. Clicky Here. I think I went half a size up as I have pretty wide feet cos as a kid I went all over the shop barefooted. Just a...

I have the Altberg Defenders and the Meindl SF boots. I don't know anyone I dislike enough to give them the Altberg Defenders, good uppers but absolutely horrible slippy soles. The Meindl SF boots are my second pair the same and I love them. Not lightweight but decently waterproof and that...

Mebbe best to fill it with the ALDI single malts though eh cos they're about 18 quid a bottle. As a side note, the Speyside and Islay versions of those (in the cardboard tubes) are well worth the money in my opinion. The Islay is compatable to Taliskar in my opinion as its not quite as...

Not so much gri ding them that way but I do find a good sharp scraper backedge handy to scrape the bark off a bit of wood, scrawp thorns off things and so on. Scraping ferroceum rods with em always seems a bit contrived to me when they actually come with a bit of hacksaw blade specifically for...

Actually, I just read your post wrong and thought it said ml, not cl and was thinking that was just about a double shots worth. Now I just read it right it makes rather more sense. To be fair, thats if I'm camping with a mate and not setting off til the afternoon the next day (and not in...

Is that number missing a zero?

Just where exactly are we planning on going with this information from a widely discredited source? Cos to my jaded eyes it leads to anthropogenic climate change denial. Thin end of the wedge but that looks to be where its heading. What next? Flat earth?

Just coming back to this with some footage that popped up on my Youtube feed. Clearly shows some gamekeepers talking about illegally killing raptors. Click here.

Historically the church has sometimes described lighting strikes as a judgement from god. Problem came when the highest buildings in the land (Churches, Cathedrals and so on) were getting more strikes than the pesky sinners.:)

We have two cats as well, theyrethe reason we got a pup instead of a rescue dog. We wanted the pup to grow up with cats instead of being fully grown and capable of tearing em apart. This is Peggy, climbing a telegraph pole then jumping off.

"Dwaine Dibley? I can't be Dwaine Dibley!"

My wifes comment during the one episode we watched of his programme summed him up in my opinion. "He's a bit of a drama queen, isn't he?"
