    The Advantages of A flintlock Gun for Long Term Wilderness Living/Survival.

    Nail on head. Traps & Snares all day long. Pissing about with maintenance of Firearms. Over-rated in my opinion. Another option to consider would be Lead loaded Catapults. With a well developed skill set they are reliable. ( though my Catapult skill set needs plenty of working on )

    A Bit of A Palava!

    Cheers. Just checked out this Canoe of yours. Seems a reasonable price... got me thinking. Could be a good entry level transportable Canoe I could venture forth with and have a paddling adventure, 'tis not some thing I've done much of... mostly I'm Trekking around Lakes, Lochs & Rivers.

    National Trust Pilot Scheme

    I'll say this again... This is Agenda 21. The ultimate goal is prevention. Ultimately No-one will be going to the country side. It will all be closed off... and they'll use platforms of coercion to achieve it in the form of the propaganda of Climate Change, Health & Safety, Environmentalism to...

    National Trust Pilot Scheme

    How would they Police it.... with Cameras & Drones, and yes, with Checkpoints or such like. This is only just the beginning of a technological clamp-down. It wouldn't be too much trouble for them to facilitate containment... they have the desire & will to do so, they have unlimited funds of Fiat...

    1 man tents.

    Go with a Tarptent, or a Mountain Laurel Tarp-tent, or perhaps a Luxe Outdoor Tarp-tent. Far more space inside, less faffing about when erecting the contraption. And less weight to carry.

    Seeking a paltry amount of poultry advice.

    Well, if yer got some dirt laying about... I'd use that. Chickens like a mud bath. Or you could put down a mix of Snad and the Dirt you've got.

    Arya exploring her new neighborhood. Norway.

    Definitely going to put hairs on yer chest..! I do like Black Pudding... and am partial to my Auntie's home-made Jam. 'Spose there's no harm in taking a nibble.. wouldn't be taken aback either if I found I liked the devilish combo.

    Lazy man planning crops for 2016

    Instead of growing Potatoes... utilise Oca in it's place. An astounding little Veg, hard as nails, doesn't suffer Blight... Treat 'em like Potatoes when sowing and harvesting.

    Lazy man planning crops for 2016

    I'm going to give a massive shout-out to Courgettes, & patty pan Squash. For reliable, productive, easy to maintain.... just let 'em do their being and they give of rakes of crop. You want to get heirloom seeds though, mate... don't get Hybrids or terminator seeds. Then you can harvest your own...
