I definitely think a vacuum sealer is the way forward. Theres so much you can do with one and they’re very inexpensive.

You’ll find they’re all encrypted. So if you move onto their frequency and try and contact it won’t work without the correct equipment. As someone else has already stated you’ll get into a lot of trouble if you manage to contact them on a closed channel. The main point is; If a team is using...

There are no “mountain rescue freqs”. All UK teams are on digital, closed comms channels.

Yes, the wife and I had one for many years. In fact it was before the craze took off here and a lot of campsites were very confused when we tried to book. Took it all over Europe and into North Africa but got rid of it when our eldest came along. Pros: VERY comfortable sleep, older canvas...

I have been working quite heavily on my family tree in the last few weeks. Off to Shropshire on Thursday to try and find the graves of my ancestors who moved from the east coast in 1690. Wish me luck! Back onto the dna side of things, could people explain to me which company they’ve used? And...

That must be really conflicting considering your “hands off” reintroduction plan. Are you reconsidering this or are there other possible options for you? Or, are you just accepting that if it doesn’t work then something else will come along?

I’d tend to agree with Longstrider. It looks like something used for cutting turf or sod to me. Sharpened along two edges for chopping and slicing into the turf and through any roots etc and big and flat for shovelling it about.

This was the next thing I was going to point out. I’m not sure what qualifies an individual to build a course for NCFE or what hoops you’d need to jump though etc to become a course provider. But perhaps this is something you could do and build your own courses?

Im with Greg on this one. There are far too many folk now putting themselves on pedestals who have little or no prior experience and are very good at marketing. I would also like to point out that those NCFE “instructor courses” focus only on personal skills. There’s no framework for teaching...

Check the rating if the fuse on your 12v socket and the rating of the power draw on the appliance. For example: If the fuse is a 15amp but the cb drawers 20amp it will just keep blowing fuses. If it’s the other way round then it’s probably a good idea to add an inline fuse too to save you...

Honestly the amount of worm castings that come up through my lawn don’t doubt they’re busy! Also plenty of bees around in the scruffy bits and the flower beds we have filled with perennials. My lawn routines may have been thwarted somewhat now though as I have just found out that the...

I think there’s a significant difference between a conventional lawn, and an area of long grass that contains wildflowers or other plants. Im quite fastidious about my lawn, I mow weekly, feed, aerate and seed throughout the season. I like a good lawn, and having a small garden it provides...

Very nice. Thanks for sharing!

Why are you biased? Are you his heir? :notworthy2:

I think there’s something people keep forgetting though. If I have my driving licence taken away, it’s still possible for me to purchase a car, tax and insure it and continue driving. If that would be the same for an FAC then it’s almost impossible for me to get hold of a firearm. Surely when...

What doesn’t make sense is our fuel comes from Norway and the US. I don’t see how the global market can really be that volatile. :dunno:

And they’re already sold out of all the remaining Bark River knives.

Death didn’t come for Chuck Norris, Chuck Norris came for death!

One of those movies that was always on when I went to visit grandad. :encourage:
