I do think the apple ones are best - although there are a lot around cheaper and probably very good. The apple interface is the best and also if you want to get a docking station or anything then they are all geared up to ipods. I've got a shuffle and a nano. The shuffle is good for cycling...

Not sure about Bushcraft, but you could look at people like Thoreau who in 1849 referred to a "sanctuary from the turmoil, the anxieties, and the hollowness of society". By the 1880s in the US there was a real push of people going out into the wilds in tents and using many 'bushcraft skills'...

you get to tie lots of complicated knots?

not sure but in my archaeology days I'm sure there was a way to date hedges - count the number of species every so many yards and you could get a rough age - sure if you look it up on google it would be there somewhere

James Elroy American Tabloid, great book

Nice chuck box there Oarsnpaddle, is that made from a bit of furniture or from scratch?

It was lamping I was just being a bit coy about hunting with dogs. Thanx

I'm thinking of the type with the external rechargable battery that I can point out wildlife to him

I want something to take my lurcher for a walk at night with. any advice?

Good stuff, keep it up. I carry a length of jute string with my firesteel - unravel and light - then add birch bark. seems to work

most machines these days have plastic gears, so cant handle the heavy stuff. I have a singer 201k - best machine ever made - metal gearing, sowed leather with it no problem, can be picked up on ebay cheap

More details please, boat or beach, tide, bait. Basically everything I need to do without having to figure it out for myself would be nice. Last time I fished the channel for Cod in October I got 2 very nice Bass, so much for specialised fishing

Not the same without the hound, good for morale as well

from reports it seems that someone payed to shoot it, aside from the (rather dubious) arguements that estates need to raise money it seems to me that this is a waste. As an aside I was once mountain biking on Dartmoor early one morning in the woods and came around a bend to see just such a...

I've a good airbed for the family camping and I have to say that I get more sleep on a mat, the airbeds just shift around too much and are more prone to punctures. Given the cold air bit I have to say that I would just spend the money on a better mat.

stems from my deep belief that we have really f**ked this planet up. China and India are developing at a scary pace and we need to acknowledge that our weather is becoming unpredictable and dangerous. The term global warming suggests we can all grow grape vines and olives, so I think the term...

Sports Direct have got some goos ones in the sale at the moment

This is my favourite too. We live in Dorset which can get quite busy in the Summer. Come the Autumn, things quieten down somewhat (locals say the only visitors now are the nearly dead and the newly wed). Now we can enjoy the beaches and countryside. Hedges are full of berries, apples a...

found one the other day - I'll dry it out and give it a go - dryish already, I fancy the cutting into strips and beating flat

Anyone tried this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fomes_fomentarius
