A beautiful wooden bowl made from applewood. It smells lovely, and looks a treat.
Missed a parcel this morning from the postman. He was late, and I thought it wasn't coming, so hied myself down to the easter fayre in the town hall.

Bit the bullet on one of these

I used to fly all sorts of radio controlled model aircraft from gliders to helicopters, but gave up the hobby when i got to play with the real thing.

Now ahem years later, at a loss as to what to do each day to keep myself sane while i wait for surgery, i figured i would get a glider kit to build from scratch, should keep me busy for a while and something to aspire to flying again when i do eventually get my mobility back.

excellent. what a good thing to build .x

Good Ammo, cost depends on the quantity n quality, look on (big South American river) on line services, that’s where I get mine. I’m sure you could make your own, I pay about £8

Finaly, my little parcel of goodies arrived this afternoon,
Bushcraft first aid by Dave Canterbury to bone up on before attempting to take a wilderness first aid course later this year.

Edible seashore by John Wright, Riverside cottage series

A small heliograph for the emergency kit, and a new skill to learn.

A cheap membrane solutions water filter straw to pop in my day bag. I don't often use wild water, when I do, it's milbank and boil, but due to the number of sewerage spillages recently , I thought it might be worthwhile to further process any wild water I do use, just for safety sake.

Do you know what the 'hidden features' reference is all about?

 

[Nice65]

I'm not sure if i should be saying well done or sorry for initially tempting you I agree ref the scalpel esque feel to it.

I've been thinking about making a small 90 deg holed lanyard retainer to fit between the two main sections.

Did you decide what to do in the end, for carry? The plastic sheath is a bit rubbish, and even the kydex isn’t particularly good, but mine is now bag carry like so:

I do. Button presses and holds to access stuff that ought to be in the manual.
