Nice work - that scale choice is great, and thats just oil, no dye? V

bad one - at least no injuries (physical anyway) ;-)...

Great link there - going to watch the rest in a minute. Everyone I know takes the **** out of the man - but he is still the man. Ray mears, along with, Lofty Wiseman, Mors Kochanksi and Les Hiddins are heroes of mine - they engage with such a passion that its hard when their wisdom falls not to...

Nice idea - I think nessmuk carried linen bags for multiple uses - this could be one of them?... V

Saw a magpie sllloowwwlyyy peck a big old wood pidgeon to death - i'd say it took around an hour...Also - I've recently seen a sparrow (yes 'a' sparrow) completely fluster a buzzard from a potential rabbit kill - I couldnt comprehend what was happening at first, because the sparrow was hardly...

A brave and adventurous thing to do - stay sharp man V
