Bit of very poor advice about the “uselessness” of Trekking Poles on this topic, quite ridiculous tbh. I did the Kilimanjaro treck in 2014, I was very fit and had prepared by hiking, I live and worked on Dartmoor, gym work and Strength and conditioning with a former Royal and a Tri...

Could you tell me where you got the cam net please.

People really are stupid sometimes, in fact often. One of the beaches where I fish gets regular Seal visits, one has obviously been fed by idiots, because he chased an angler, who was dragging a couple of Macketel, up the beach!…………..It was hilarious!

I have a Ridgeline Smock, cannot remember which one, but it is slightly more breathable than the earlier cheaper ones…..Apparently. Now, I work a Spaniel, Stalk and hike, and it can become rather warm if you are very active for sure. But around my Bushcraft camp it comes into its own...

I worked on Dartmoor for 3 decades, both night and day, and quite a lot around Bellever. Used, binos, night vision and thermal and saw nothing but pussycats. Do I believe there are big cats on Dartmoor? That depends on how big Tabby is………….No

My career job put me in touch with all sorts birdies, there are some I like more than others, and a couple I am not to keen on, Magpies being one, there are far to many of them. But for me it has to be the Kingfisher, agile, stunning, busy and always a joy to watch. I have seen hundreds of...

May I respectfully ask, what/who is the relevant River Authority?

The above is a great start, but make sure your FAK represents your Risk Assessment, the only, very pedantic, change would be Scissors for Tough Cut Shears.

Soup, much better than I thought. You Tube has several ideas.

Do you have any examples where a lay person, and I include those that hold a FAW, have been sued for administering FA to someone. Certainly not something I have heard of before.

I think to even hint that you could be sued for administering FA, even as a trained FAW, is totally counter productive.

@Limey Pete. What an obnoxious person you are, already ignored.

Not the dusky maidens you have to worry about in these parts, the barmaids eat their young!

Never roam the Moor during a full moon, and alway keep to the tracks!

Yep, certainly most of it.

Please don’t feel sorry for me, I live in the Dartmoor National Park in the beautiful county of Devon.

I would never park across someone’s driveway and go and sit in their garden, so, sorry, I would never park in a gateway and just enter private land without permission of the land owner. I don’t get why some people think they should have the right to trample or camp wherever they want to. I...

Your gonna need a fat wallet to keep that up! I once stocked 150 small trout into a stew pond, when we went to net them out into the larger lake………They were all gone! Lots of Otter prints around. We have a healthy population of Otters here in Devon, not so many Mink around now.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned Otters, once one finds you have stocked with Trout, he/she will not stop until they are all gone………Which won’t be long. A minimum 10’ at the deepest point, Trout need to escape into deeper water during a hot period.

Yes mate.
