    Fox skeleton articulation (attempt!)

    Yep, removed my post as it’s your is way better written than mine! Can a private individual get a license to hold, say, a skull in a private collection? I hadn’t thought about it, and I won’t rbh but I am curious how ‘easy’ the licence is to get

    Fox skeleton articulation (attempt!)

    Fox skeleton articulation (attempt!)

    I had a nice collection of skulls I had picked up (mainly birds and rodents) but they got misplaced when we moved house and I have not been able to find them. I still have the fox skeleton, I only have the skull on display. The rest of it is 85% assembled. I shall get it out and finish the...

    Fox skeleton articulation (attempt!)

    I wouldn’t tbh, I would just put something over it if you can that won’t be pulled off by scavengers. If not then pick it up and submerge it in a container of water big enough to hold it, and then leave it for 6months, will stink to high heaven but will leave you with just a skeleton that you...

    Water purification -

    Actually circling back round how would this be different to using a millbank bag or a sawyer mini and then dropping an Aquatab or other sterilisation tablet in? I quite like the test strips idea though, presumably they just show that the concentration of solution is correct

    Water purification -

    Huh interesting concept, looks well thought out aswell - my first thought was ‘what when you can’t charge it’ then I realised it had a built in solar panel - cool

    Wild fires - Survival Skills.

    What are you saying then? I don’t understand your post, perhaps you could elaborate what you mean?

    Wild fires - Survival Skills.

    Not sure what you mean by this, are you saying disabled people should not live in high rise buildings, fire risk zones or flood risk zones so that able bodied people shouldn’t have to worry about helping them if there is a fire etc? Based on that, disabled people should only be allowed to live...

    What fuel do you use?

    The DPF under diesel cars can get extremely hot, my van has one and I monitor the temp (for regens) and it can get up to 700c - park that on long dry grass and it will cause a fire, I am Certain not a lot of people realise

    What fuel do you use?

    I have been using bioethanol in my trangia, I bought it in b+q - works well. I am in the South Downs and have even avoided my trangia the past few weeks, it’s tinder dry everywhere :/

    Can you help me choose a small multipurpose camp knife?

    they do look a bit square shouldered, but as its slim it doesnt cause hotspot (not with my usage). Having said that its not a difficult job to sand the shoulders off if personal usage requires it, they are either wood or micarta scales so easy to do by hand, and you wouldnt need to remove much...

    The perfect "Two Knife" bushcraft set

    Almost exactly what I use, except I now have an enzo trapper (had years) with a scandi grind and the brisa necker with a flat grind, perfect combo imo.

    Can you help me choose a small multipurpose camp knife?

    Haven’t read through the posts but I use a brisa necker with a flat grind for exactly the kind of tasks you describe Don’t get a scandi grind if you are going to be doing food prep, it’s just to heavy to actually chop, you want a flat grind for that. A necker ticks your boxes for all the...

    Worst witnessed Bushcraft injury.

    I learnt a lot that day, I am not ashamed to admit. This was a long time ago, will see if I can find photos? But it was when I moved from my flat to my first house 14 years ago

    Worst witnessed Bushcraft injury.

    Embarrassingly, mine. It fell out of my tool roll from my lap as I stood up and I didn’t notice, took a step forward and bang. I knew instantly what had done. Didn’t have boots on as they were drying by a fire from a ‘small stream excursion’ earlier that day. This was about 3pm ish on n the...

    Stepping on an unsheathed crook knife in bare feet and damn near almost amputating a couple of toes
