There will be a Solar eclipse on 12th August 2026. I am putting in my request that 2026's Moot includes those dates. Yeah I really do get (i) I am no real say in this, (ii) real possibility that 2026 dates have been sorted already, just not finalised, (iii) Only me actually gives a Monkeys ...

This years Log Dancing Challenge was aced by a fine performance by Hammock_Man { even if I say so myself }. Resulting in a fine bump and artistic bruise to the forehead, his performance was topped by a wonderful display of skin removal on the right leg. The addition of a few minor scrapes just...

For those that may not know, Chef is out of hospital at last. Not my place to go into detail but sure folk would like to know he is at least home.

After calling a ambulance at 0400hrs on Sunday morning and spending 20 hours in hospital with no solution, I will not ( and so Kim as well) be heading to Coventry. Sat here in pain waiting for an ultra sound on Wednesday. Have fun Gang, have fun.

Bought a very cheap knife to use with a fire steel, came with a cardboard sleeve! So I picked up some pvc pipe and a heat gun. White is 1st go, black is 2nd go. The white was £1.20 for 3 metres and the black less then a fiver, again 3 metre length. I only had a small set of tongs to hold it...

Treat myself to a few blank Ferro rods and knock up 3 for the grandkids. First is a simple stick with a grove in the top half, which I drilled a few holes into. Cut some notches in the ferro rod and used milliput as the glue. Also made a "standard" one (Yes it moved while the araldite set!)...

It has taken a good few years now but at long last I have got my mancave finished. The flagstones where already there. EDIT in truth this is in the Museum of London, a kind of very early April fool!

Got bored so I knocked up a small mod to my hammock lines. Cut a rectangular piece of cloth, in my case a bit of denim. Fold length ways and pass between the two hanger lines Stitch the cloth in place under the lines, tight enough to touch, loose enough to slide. I also folded one corner of the...

Having seen them on the "MREmpire" web site, I thought I would treat myself to a new stove. This is been touted as the new issue stove for UK forces Rat packs and is designed to fit a Crusader metal mug; using gel blocks as fuel. It comes as a fold flat package some 20cms square, cardboard...

I have just taken delivery of some 1/4inch 6mm dymeena cable and had an idea I would like to run past you fine folk. This is for one connection between the tree huggers and the binner end of my hammock, the other will have a whoopie sling at the other, for fine tuning of length. I have made an...

Had my 2nd Covid jab today...yeah. They said now I have had it, the chances of me dying have gone down by 95%. Seeing as yesterday, it was an absolute certainty that I was going to die someday : I would say that makes me immortal, give or take 5%! Well done NHS. Going really upset the folk that...

Finally bit the bullet and got me a Lavvu and tent stove. Will be able to sit out and drink tea whenever I fancy.

I had decided to set up a hot tent in my very small back yard. I looked at the polish lavvu and thought ok, way to go. Military Mart had size 3 in stock at a price I was happy with. Could not find a stove I liked in my price range. Kept fishing around, changed my mind, looked again thought it...

With time on their hands, I have read of people going up into their loft and finding camping gear of old so I thought I would do the same. While poking around in the loft I was amazed by the amount of stuff I just did not remember buying! Then it hit me, I don't have a loft.... I live in a...
