    Veganism

    Yeah, I think it'd be doable. Not on the fly tho', not in the UK, unless of course you can digest cellulose in which case it'd be a piece of cake. Supported by agriculture, and planned carefully it'd work ok. You'd be on grain of some sort a fair bit tho, oats probably ... There is a good...

    Spiritual trees

    Maybe try organisations like: Woodland Trust The National Trust or more specifically when you get back to Devon, Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust or Moor Trees might be worth a call to see if they can accomodate you. Both are ok'ish travel from Exmouth if that's where you do settle...

    Spiritual trees

    I'm in a similar position now, as my queen has a tumour in her face, and probably no more than a few weeks before she makes that great journey. She'll be cremated too, but her ashes will be returned and mixed with mine one day, when she and my tom cat come to call for me as I too, eventually...

    Help with FireSteel

    The Opinel steel is a very good choice with the ferro rods, it's a combination of the carbon steel and the hard angle of the squared off back of the blade. In my experience the carbon steels are much better for drawing a spark than stainless are, especially for use with a flint - where...

    Vegetarians and vegans

    Tadpole - nice bit of work there. The amount of water used in plant vs. animal production is also a big factor - I can't quote the figures without looking for them, but it's a significant difference as far as I can recall (in that animals consume much more water then the same weight of plant...

    Match cases

    Having had mine for a good while now, I'd have no doubt that this will turn out to be quite true. They are great cases, no question.

    Zebra Billy, lid clips!

    I have heard that there were earlier versions of the zebra cans that may very well have come with brass versions of these plastic clips ... I've never actually seen one first hand tho', so it may just be a kinda bush version of an urban myth ...

    Reasons for carrying a knife (in the UK).......

    Now, I grant you I may have imagined this, but ... I'm sure I read somewhere of a discussion being had within the Sikh community about having a kirpan tattoo in an iron bearing ink, as this form may no less represent the meaning of the kirpan, than does a carried version, but one that doesn't...

    Reasons for carrying a knife (in the UK).......

    Which is entirely fair enough in the circumstances I'd say, but I'm sure there is stuff you can do to minimise the risk tho' Is the sharp gear secure within the vehicle ? If so you can at least begin to show due care etc, as it's not being waved about, or on show. The vehicle is always...

    autism

    My partner leads small groups of autistic young adults out in the woods - I'll chat to her later today and see what she suggests.

    Unknown large sharp metal thing

    I use my Devon bill' for lots of jobs - I find it's an excellent alround tool, especially for use around camp - I own a little GB hatchet, but the bill comes out with me 100x more often - I use mine more like a big knife than anything, and that includes splitting reasonibly broad rounds of wood...

    Cycling questions

    Helmet, hell yeah ! My mind was 100% made up about this when I took a rock to the head, flicked up by a passing quarry wagon. The rock was about fist sized, and had I not been wearing my helmet, that would have been it - that blow would have been enough to have taken me off the bike and then...

    Devon Locations

    I'm starting to find that Haldon is much more interesting than it first appears. Having ridden it quite a bit during the earlier part of the winter, and generally explored a bit more, I now realise that there is quite a bit of poking around to be done there. It's pretty extensive end-to-end...
