Seen it mate …shoot em.

Delay doing anything heavy duty until it gets cooler. I’ve got a load of hedge cutting for customer's this week but I’ve cancelled until next week. Going to potter about in my own garden today (and possibly the rest of the week) and enjoy the weather with cold drinks and fine food… and I’m not...

Stop mincing around and just shoot em! ;) Get an air rifle Get pellets Get consistently accurate Get head shots Enjoy your rat-free life

Been working out in it today despite having the remains of a stomach bug / food poisoning in my system, so sweating profusely before I even step outside. The best I can suggest is stay hydrated, don’t rely on other people for hydration and just enjoy it, because soon enough we’ll be talking...

I think dryness and level of degradation of the wood comes into it too. Willow hearth and willow spindle made out the same dead-standing branch worked very well for me. The wood was found with no bark, grey in colouration, dry but also ever-so-slightly punky. The outside easily dent with finger...

Labradorolite - an extremely rare mineral produced by a Labrador as they age. It has be known to be occasionally deposited on living room floor. Finding it with your shoe is recognised as being lucky, particularly in northern cultures.

I don’t know exactly but I really hope you wash your hands before you eat your sandwiches today. o_O

I’d personally avoid the ever-popular Falkniven at this price point - I wouldn’t be surprised if there was controversy akin to Bark River down the line with them in the future. Over rated to say the least. Assuming you still can then a Jaakaripukko 110 or 140 from Varusteleka. Great knife and...

No, you don’t need to. I’m already aware of them hence reaching my own conclusion. I’ve gone for a more sustainable and long term way of attracting and helping wildlife in my garden, but if not mowing your grass for a month makes you happy then that’s fine too.

I’m not addressing anyone specifically here but this no-mow may is a pretty short-sighted idea. Pollinators aside, you’re effectively inviting animals to live there and then after the month is up evicting them in the harshest, most brutal and abrupt way possible - a blade spinning over their...

Not maintaining what are largely monocultures for one month isn’t going to do a great deal to benefit wildlife. I personally enjoy keeping my grass as short as possible, but as a compromise I have seeded an area with pollinator specific wild flowers around my small wildlife pond which I...

Focuser Outdoor knives appear to be getting positive reviews on YouTube. I like the Scandi Woodlore clone - The 133 model in particular, which Comes in 3V and 14C28N. Anyone here with any experience with this Brand?

I think it may have been the same video where he basically worn the tip of his fingers down from sharpening on the whetstone.

I didn’t see any of his own surgery videos but I enjoyed his sharpening, bushcraft and fishing videos a lot, and I never did buy that D6 Farid after watching him trying to re profile his for hours. :oops: It’s a shame you don’t hear much from him anymore.

You missed out. Covid was the best time to ride. Hardly any cars about, very quiet and even 6 years ago the roads were in a far better state. A great time to be had if you didn’t get too wrapped up in all the hysteria and government overreach. I’ve found E5 preserves longer than E10. I can leave...

Council tax. …and with that concludes any other kind of buying for a while.

Some of their 3V knives reported as being chippy from some basic cutting tasks - rope, cardboard etc. Certainly not characteristics you would expect with 3V. Also incidents of A2 that wouldn’t rust, stainless steel which rusts too readily. The small number of knives mentioned in Mike Stewart’s...

I bought a Gunny A2 off the merit of Virtuovice, as many others did. He did absolute wonders to fill Mike Stewart’s pockets over the years, and for that he now he is now sitting on a million or so yen worth of Bark River Landfill. Poor bloke. :( As for the Gunny: Handle was comfortable, sheath...

Good riddance! Rubbish knives, rubbish company, rubbish people running it. It is said that Jim Stewart (Mikes Son) is starting his own knife making business. Jim Stewart was their production manager - he absolutely knew everything regarding the production of their knives and where they came...

The red one used most because I keep in shed and don’t have to go back in the house when I need to cut something. Mora good. Mora question why need stupidly expensive knife when its often has better heat treatment and geometry than knife which cost £400+
