Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Nice to see the refocus and congratulations on that. I think the early links to the experimental archaeology were a point to continue to bear in mind because the simple truth is that we don't know all of the skills that were used and we have lost too much lore and we have frankly lost too much...
When working with old maps you need to be aware that the marked variation per year can be wrong. Take an old map, use the notes to update the magnetic variation and compare to a newer map - often you'll find it's not the same, so generally don't use an old map if accuracy of navigation by...
I do use a trailer for shopping and it is quite different from normal cycling. One of the things it teaches you is that cadence is really important, otherwise it will shove you forward as you drop off the power and tug you back as you put the power back on - as you spin the pedals that is...
Unfortunately a lot of it isn't. The registry is a relatively new thing, at least in terms of capturing that information well. A lot of especially agricultural land passed hands without any legal formalities in the past and I'm sure it still does! Even where the land is registered, the...
You could put waterproofing agents on gore-tex, but unless the gore-tex has broken down I don't see the point. The waterproofing would make it into any other proofed, unbreathable fabric. Sure gore-tex can leak, but if it does then it's time to replace it. I can't see why you'd pay out for a...
For those who want to know more about fixed wheel/ fixed gear/ fixie or whatever you want to call them there are two places I'd recommend
http://www.sheldonbrown.com/fixed.html
and to discuss them with people who ride them all the time, but be warned they take no prisoners so be prepared to be...
Its when I see threads like this that I really regret not having the chance to go on that photography trip with you and getting some hands on tips!
That advice on how you take your photos Gary was very useful, though some of it went right over my head since I only have a compact camera. Hope...
Very interested indeed, please show us more! Thats a really nice looking cottage there. I'm really keen to see how you bring this up to a livable condition and just what sort of things you have in mind.
Funnily enough what I've noticed in my woods over the last couple of weeks is a lot of dead greys. Big, apparently healthy ones. I've not inspected them for any cause so I don't know if they were killed or died of other causes.

I've seen quite a few threads here about long term survival and about survival with only the minimum equipment. OK he is too much reliant upon scavenging, but then so too are many animals. Why eat ants every day when there is food and resources to be had down the road?
I'm sure he could do...
<grins> yes sorry I was being a bit controversial there.
But yes indeed, 'we' the public don't seem to mind bad behaviour when it uncovers something worse. Where do you draw the line I wonder?
And the business of a PC repair shop is to repair stuff, its how they make their money....
Repairing things which don't need it, selling things which aren't needed - they aren't so far apart. A reputable shop would do neither. Then again even reputable shops get desperate when times get...
As someone who was an Army Cadet man and boy, I think a total of just over twenty years it saddens me that this thread confirms my own conclusions in the first post. The ACF has over the years got lot of benefits out of being a part of the MoD, but sadly it now means that its in the front line...
To be honest I don't think the ACF is likely to be too hot on survival skills. It will of course depend on the unit you join but the vast majority are pretty rigidly focussed on the syllabus, which doesn't really include much in that respect. As I say it will depend on the unit, and they do...
