Bought a very cheap knife to use with a fire steel, came with a cardboard sleeve! So I picked up some pvc pipe and a heat gun. White is 1st go, black is 2nd go. The white was £1.20 for 3 metres and the black less then a fiver, again 3 metre length. I only had a small set of tongs to hold it...

Treat myself to a few blank Ferro rods and knock up 3 for the grandkids. First is a simple stick with a grove in the top half, which I drilled a few holes into. Cut some notches in the ferro rod and used milliput as the glue. Also made a "standard" one (Yes it moved while the araldite set!)...

It has taken a good few years now but at long last I have got my mancave finished. The flagstones where already there. EDIT in truth this is in the Museum of London, a kind of very early April fool!

Got bored so I knocked up a small mod to my hammock lines. Cut a rectangular piece of cloth, in my case a bit of denim. Fold length ways and pass between the two hanger lines Stitch the cloth in place under the lines, tight enough to touch, loose enough to slide. I also folded one corner of the...

I have just taken delivery of some 1/4inch 6mm dymeena cable and had an idea I would like to run past you fine folk. This is for one connection between the tree huggers and the binner end of my hammock, the other will have a whoopie sling at the other, for fine tuning of length. I have made an...

Had my 2nd Covid jab today...yeah. They said now I have had it, the chances of me dying have gone down by 95%. Seeing as yesterday, it was an absolute certainty that I was going to die someday : I would say that makes me immortal, give or take 5%! Well done NHS. Going really upset the folk that...

Finally bit the bullet and got me a Lavvu and tent stove. Will be able to sit out and drink tea whenever I fancy.

I had decided to set up a hot tent in my very small back yard. I looked at the polish lavvu and thought ok, way to go. Military Mart had size 3 in stock at a price I was happy with. Could not find a stove I liked in my price range. Kept fishing around, changed my mind, looked again thought it...

With time on their hands, I have read of people going up into their loft and finding camping gear of old so I thought I would do the same. While poking around in the loft I was amazed by the amount of stuff I just did not remember buying! Then it hit me, I don't have a loft.... I live in a...

I am using this lockdown time to practise my feather sticks, think I have got it off to pat now. I think they are fine enough to catch a spark!

Please don't shoot the messenger........ I was hoping it would not be me but some one has to ask the question.. IS it happening. I understand very much that things are all over the place so my real question is... Do I buy tickets and where do we stand regarding refunds. I am so very very sorry...

I have read that the magnetic north and true north are to to line up, in the UK, for the first some in some 360 years. So for the first time in 360 years I will be able to go out for a walk without getting lost. Another point, when are they going to sort out this Land Mass rising thing after...

I like to make life easy and often make and use my own boil in the bag meals. Couple of times I have had the bag settle on to the side of the cooker without any or enough water to protect it. The bag itself is sitting in enough water but just that one spot is up against hot metal. Then...
