    Another Fungi ID please

    As seen at the field archery have-a-go on Saturday: There's one patch of the woods where these are everywhere. Bernie showed me my first Amethyst Deceiver as well :)

    Mozi Net/Bivi

    Bought this off of BB a while back as I was intrigued by the description but no picture was given (and it was cheap :)): It's about 6 1/2 feet long, I can lie down in it comfortably but there wouldn't be room for kit. As it's open it would also require the use of a tarp, unless you are...

    Field archery have-a-go

    Over on the EMCCU part of British Blades I've been organising a have-a-go at my field archery club (near Belper, Derbyshire) on October 18th. Unfortunately I've clashed with another event so a lot of people have dropped out so I though I'd open it out to you good people on BCUK. Details can be...

    I know it's early but ..

    Through some cunning manoeuvring on my part we are going to have a nice quiet family Christmas (i..e no in-laws etc.) so I want to do something a bit different for lunch and I'd like to try something "game". The thoughts I've had are (in no particular order): Rabbit Wood Pigeon Venison...

    I like trees

    but I'm rubbish at identifying even the commonest varieties, (except for oak, horse chestnut and silver birch :rolleyes:). I'll go out with books, identify trees and then try and remember the distinguishing features but I've usually forgotten them again by the next time I'm out :( Does anybody...

    Pit roasted turkey?

    Just a bit of fun (unless the turkey we've ordered doesn't actually fit in our oven :o) but would it be possible to pit-roast a turkey using items available in a 'normal' household and has anyone actually done it? I've done a google and there's a few suggestions on there but I just wanted to...

    "Account on BushcraftUK: Community Forum locked out"

    Just had the following e-mail: But I am still logged into the forum and when I clicked on the IP address (hidden above) it actually took me to the BCUK home page. Was this somebody testing something?

    Field Archery

    Following on from Stovie's excellent videos here, I thought I'd stick up my own efforts. The bow's an Internature AFB, 45# @ 28", which I pull to around 30". The camera was on top of the target at a slight angle and I was probably worrying more about not hitting the camera (sod-law and...

    UK Bowhunting laws

    I know this is a sensitive area, and I don't expect this to be a discussion of the pro's and con's of bowhunting (this has been covered elsewhere) but it struck me that when it is discussed various acts & years are bandied around so I did a bit of digging to find what actual UK laws/acts control...
