Currently Halfords have Coleman Extreme C300 canisters at a fiver each (so that's 40p cheaper than Gooutdoors) , and Halfords also have a 3 for 2 offer on camping accessories which includes Coleman gas canisters ! C500s are dearer by £1.20 individually but 3 for 2 saves you a few bob...

I wonder if there was an element of truth in this in that a stone suitable for carving tombs from was also good for use as a whetstone. Anyone know tales of country folk sharpening scythes on tombstones? Many years ago while doing some work around Blackrod (near Bolton) a church there had...

Hi Chris I have what I describe as a small (12-14" haft) hatchet - it is a no name head that I rehandled in oiled hickory about 12 months ago, came to me via a family friend and to my knowledge must be at least 30+ years old. It is (and was used for) best used for small firewood...

And add in a very understanding Mrs, no wonder he always sounds so chilled ! and yes to have the luxury (and to be fair, responsibility) of following your heart while putting food on the table is admirable.

Been meaning to mention this here for ages (been watching it for months). Youtube channel from Ric Nagualero, he's an artist living in a Tipi in a Swedish forest as a painting and bushcraft 'adventure'. Lots of well explained technique, from a genuinely interesting bloke that is using...

Great with lamb,as the astringency hints at dry vermouth which is a common sheep-meat accompaniment.....add a delicate 'herby' rather than 'florid' honey to temper the bite but maintain the flavour.

rik_uk3 that's the video that led me to that website......... Love how it's done in such an understated way, and that man cooks some serious steaks :D

No offence taken mate, I'm actually an Inquisitor so it's one for the lock-down list haha (safeguarding and all that)

Sorry about that Goatboy, never knew that have only gone direct to their wilderness stuff and didn't know they had dodgy stuff too. Thanks for the heads up...........Being in education that's one to avoid at work !

Hiemo Korth has featured in a couple of excellent documentaries on the website below (it is an unusual site but has some gems) https://www.vice.com/en_uk/video/heimos-arctic-refuge-1-of-5 Not in relation to Alaska, there is also the series about 'Agafia in the Taiga' on there which shows...

Peugeot 406 2.0 HDI Estate (make sure recent cambelt change) - Huuuuuge load space, fantastic to drive, great rear passenger comfort, 60mpg if you go super careful 50 mpg in general, (will sit at 85mph all day - apparently ahem) low insurance, much more civilised diesel engine than Fords or...

Thanks Skog after our battles with the postal systems, the ammo pouches + mystery gift arrived safe and sound ! Cheers mate :You_Rock_

Welcome mate, from a pretty much newbie myself..... Regarding mates not into bush stuff etc...........sell it as doing blokes stuff with axes, kicking back round a fire while flame grilling sausages and steaks and downing a beer or a dram, with nobody chewing their asses to be domestic...then...

It seems to constantly 'chatter' to the internet, probably checking for media licenses, album covers. track info, itunes updates (oh and iTunes installs usually installs stuff like safari and Apple software updater too). just make sure to back up all your music somehow if you choose to delete...

You're welcome paul_b, as I say it is dependant on the type of license agreement they have, but it costs nowt to ask. If they don't have that as an offering then try to track down the version in the stores/online that students can buy (I recall you don't get the product off the shelf just a box...

Chas Bookes, they're in the post and on the way mate :) Greeny

Scanning through this, I picked up on a few bits. Pretty much all known brands right down to base models will happily run Excel, clunky running may be a limitation of internet download speeds if it's a 'cloud' (gag hack, hate that buzzword) based version of office. All the 'cloud' means is...

Is the top of the haft as supplied ? because if so it looks possibly like you may have too short a handle length too (in general terms not personal preference). I've recently been digging round to rehandle an axe and have found that certain weight heads have 'standard' sizes of eye (in both...

Wish I'd seen the plywood jig on youtube before, your plunge line's so crisp and the bevel looks really even. Like the how the knife flows from the tip through to the handle. Hand sanding is so much fun isn't it ! :lmao:
