A pinch of salt Ray Mears has never taken legal action against Bushcraft UK. In the early days there was a warning shot across the bows about members using his name on the forum but that was it. As for people being allowed to make negative comments about him we try hard to make sure that it doesn't happen to people...it's a fine balance, most members want the right to say what they want about people but are quite happy to have a good moan if something is written that they don't like.

Anyway, back to the point....Yep, with a pinch of salt...

Anyway... I am hoping for some snow on Sat! Get into the woods after work and try out a couple of knives. If I get the time. You good people planning anything this weekend?

pinch of salt, plenty of pepper and long slow roast, no need to baste as he has a good layer of fat all round anyway

Spam is possibly one of the most annoying aspects of using t'internet.

However, much as it cheeses me off, there's one thing that annoys me more....

Folk who go to allsorts of silly lengths to avoid it.

I've lost count of the number of forum posts or usenet postings I've tried to respond to by e-mail, only to discover that I either have to decode someone's very witty phoneticly spelt version of their address, remove a telephone book's worth of text from their addy or employ some sort of arcane intiuition to work out exactly how to get a message through to them.

Result is, these days I don't bother. If I can't hit "reply" and have the mail go where I want.. I figure people don't want the answer to their question badly enough.

Does anyone have a pattern for one??

Yes, and I am still planning to do a tutorial on making one if the chaos ever lets up.

OK, that was a bit silly.

I didn't get the Spam e-mail but I just got the apology from the canvas repair mob.

Complete with everybodies e-mail address on it.
