This is loosely based on a Boer Tonteldoos and was a nice little project to make. A piece of 22mm copper and two end caps and a bit of cotton wool and good to go. A spark (method of your choice) will ignite the wool, add to a bird’s nest and away you go. Another clever idea from the past. Riven.

These have just come into my possession and where found by my father 50 years ago whilst working in West Virginia for a few months. He died a long time ago and all I know is that he found them in the fields of a farm he was invited to shoot on. They really peaked my interest as a kid and would...

Seeing as the blackberries are in abundance this year thought it was time to try something a bit different. Love the crumbles and made them with vodka (very nice), and whilst looking through my library came across Richard Mabeys sound advice. Soak berries in red wine overnight and then eat. We...

Had a bit of free time today and decided it was about time to practice with the old flint and steel. Without a doubt this is skill that needs to be done on a regular basis or at least it is for me. Good fun too. Riven

Hi all just making a knife handle out of the handle from a pair of garden lobbers I found in a skip. The wood looked interesting with a nice looking grain and as I sanded and filed the shape it has become a very light colour. So my question is what is the best thing to use for the finish to...

The other day my wife came home with a Lifesystems Dental First Aid kit (for free I might add). It contains clove oil, unodent, swabs, dental mirror and a syringe. So has anyone here had need of such things and used them in the wild? All sounds rather painful to me.:aarghh: I look forward to...

I am looking for a new pair of binoculars for wildlife watching etc and would like opinions on which are good value for money. 8x40 with good clarity, robust and not too heavy are my criteria. Oh and no more than £200, I'm not Richard Branson. So any suggestions would be helpful. Riven.

As per title is anyone else going to Elvaston this weekend? Riven.

Hi all, just recently I came across the list of 100 books to read before you die and so I got to thinking of my favourite outdoor related books I have read and reread over the years. Now to make this simpler I have chosen only 10 out of my collection and the idea is that others can add their...

The other day whilst browsing around the local Decathlon store my eye was caught by a shiny new screwgate carabiner for £4.99. Now I have still got one that I bought over 30 years ago for caving which cost then more than that. Now I bought a Fallkniven F1 ten years ago for £60 and today they...
