    Woodland Custodianship

    If it’s used regularly and frequently,I think long drop composting toilets on rotation is the way to go. With my woodland (and it’s infrequent use) I’m using 2 x port-a-potties into bio-degradable food compost bags with an handful of sawdust and these get tied up and thrown on my 300litre...

    Solid Fire Pit

    I have Solo firepit ranger 38cm without the stand. About £160. It's great takes about 10minutes to warm up and then it's completely smokeess and you can keep 4 people warm. It burns about 20% quicker but laving just ash (and the odd nail) as residue. I've seen a guy on YouTube make one out of 2...

    Withdrawn Competition Cutter

    It could be Giedymin? He uses same handle construction and was making a lot of choppers from that BB era. He didn't have a makers mark when he first stared selling. I bought one of his modern bowies around that time

    Deep Cycle Batteries by Tab

    I just switched to Lithium Iron (LiFe) battery on my motorcycle having had no end of cold starting issues every winter. I tried a GFM (Glass Fibre Mat) Gel battery last year which had very little improvement over a normal battery. The LiFe is half the height, a quarter the weight and you can...

    stripping the bark: is it safe for the tree?

    Did some skiing around Peachlands on the border of the Okanagan. The cosmetic insults I saw around there almost reduced me to tears alternating with anger. Sometimes these "survival" programs have a lot to answer for, particularly the Bear Grylls ones which barely pay lip service to the damage...
