    Another night out with a change of tactic & rifle (graphic pics warning!)

    Made the most of the cracking weather last night and got out on my main permission for a couple of hours. After getting the kids in bed I grabbed the CZ 452 .22 WMR (winchester magnum rimfire) rifle and set off about 7.30 for a bit of longer range control. Me and my mate bought an MOT failure...

    Back out on the bunnies last night!

    Went out with the rapid last night to a spot on the farm that's been hit by the bunnies munching the wheat. Mr Wheatabix won't be happy!! But 1st I had to gain some energy with one of those special drinks (Not what you were thinking I bet!! ) This is the area they've been munching. You can...

    Field mushrooms

    Is it too early for field mushrooms to be out. There are some in a field that used to have cattle in at work that look like them but I thought it may be too early? Cheers

    DC4 a bit rough! Advice needed please?

    Hi guys I'm still fairly new to sharpening and bought a DC4 to keep in my hunting/bushcraft kit for the field but I'm not sure if it's ok? The ceramic side is not dead smooth and has a few little lumps on it! Is this normal or a duff one that slipped through quality control? Would it effect...

    Mmmm campfire twists

    I got the firepit out on Sunday to burn the mould off the grate :rolleyes: and thought I'd re-kindle an old cubs fave of mine - The campfire twister. Out came the flour, sugar and water, knocked up the dough and sat happy as a pig in poop in my garden. The wife took the micky until she tried...

    1st time I've made anything!

    I know it's basic stuff but it was more enjoyable than sitting indoors watching rubbish telly with the enemy!! Finally got round to fitting the firesteel blank in a bit of antler I had, which sits in the hand nicely at that angle and should make striking a doddle. Is there any need to coat...

    Leather and pouch help please

    I have bought myself some leather offcuts to try and make some pouches for firesteels, pellets, etc, but it is not as supple (sp) as I'd hoped. If I keep working some dubbin into it will it soften up? If not what can I use if anything to make it easier to use? Cheers Stratts
