I usually follow the rule..."If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is". Has anyone had any experience with Blue Mountain Forge knives?

Hi all, Long time no post..... I hope you are all ok. My wife and I are now breeding working dachshunds (teckels) and our kennel name is Hazelglade. We will soon be starting a website and would really like a backdrop photo of a glade in a hazel wood, so far I haven't achieved the results I...

Whoops, posted this on kit chatter but probably better here...... Hello all, Not been on here for ages but I know someone will know the answer to this...... I've just bought a CC/Arktis Waterproof smock/parka and on the first time I've worn it I've leant onto a painted (gloss) doorframe...

Hello all, Not been on here for ages but I know someone will know the answer to this...... I've just bought a CC/Arktis Waterproof smock/parka and on the first time I've worn it I've leant onto a painted (gloss) doorframe. Gave it a good scrub and got paint off but have lost the outer water...

Hi chaps, Thought I'd share a few pics from my lure angling sessions.

Hi guys, Posted this in the 'Chatter' section but probably fits better here. Just ordered a pair of these after seeing them at a Game Fair, their kit looks really tough and they can repair in house. Anyone tried them? http://www.countrycovers.co.uk/about-us

Hi all, Haven't been on here for ages, hope you are all well. Been spending all of my outdoors time lure fishing and enjoying it muchly. Reason for post.I've been at a country fair all weekend doing a sampling event for our fruit juice (Copella) and got a pretty good deal on a pair of Country...

Hardly used the camera in the past 8 months as I've been doing a lot of lure fishing. Well the lakes are frozen so I've been out this week. Thought I'd share my pics with some of my old friends. and saving the best til last;

A few more pics to share;

A few pics from this mornings stroll, hope you like them;

Hi guys, Long time no post but I have been doing a lot of lure fishing. Thought I would share the fantastic morning I had on Monday. Managing to bank over a dozen pike with four low doubles. All the pike were hitting the lures really hard (most of the spawning was done a few weeks ago and the...

Just been to bottom of garden to top up the bird feeders and found some mushrooms. They were growing around an old budlia (spelt wrong I know) stump amongst some fox gloves.......are they edible, are they chanterelles?????

I have recently started lure fishing again and have noticed that a stretch of our local river was rather 'dead'. Not far from this stretch is a Polish community - indeed I have seen a few of these guys fishing whilst I've been canoeing. I guessed that these guys might be eating a few of what...

On the last day of our hols in northern Italy, in a bit of a rush, I went into a sports shop to buy a day pack so that I could take prezzies through as hand luggage. It wasn't until I left the shop that I noticed the bag had a mesh bottom it was in fact a mushroomers rucksack. Anyone seen/used...

Guys, Having returned from hols I was interested to read the 'beater and biter' thread as I have always seen the value in having two knives close at hand. From a skinning/dressing perspective I have always kept my gutting blade as far away from bones as possible - I use a bigger knife or saw...

A trip to the woods this morning to try out the Martindale # 2 golok. I needed to clear a bit more scrub, willow and alder that has grown in and along a ditch and also cut myself a few hazel poles for stringing up some camo netting for my badger watching antics. I have spent a fair amount of...

I saw this done on Mike Robinsons Heavans Kitchen at Large, couldn't find anything on the internet but the pot kiln cookery school passed on this tip. Its a really quick method to get the best meat in about 5 seconds (the ferrets can have the rest). Firstly this only works with a warm bird...

Been out tonight to the sett where I believed the badgers had moved to. I scattered some peanuts and crab apples and sat back against a tree. Within a few minutes the stripeys started to appear - it was only 18:40pm. I managed to watch natural behaviour such as grooming one another, scratching...

Just bought a pair of Keen Newports and I think they are going to be great. A really good hybrid between sandal and walking trainer. Will try them out walking around Lake Como (hols coming up) but will also be great for general walking and canoeing, just need to see if I can squeeze into my...
