I've made a few pairs of high leg american style moccs. I used to use them bushcrafting but found the restricting factor was the smooth sole and lack of grip. putting a rubber outer sole helps a bit but not to the extent of a modern shoe. As i wasn't LARPing i moved onto the modern barefoot...

When i first started work as gamekeeper at 16 years old my father got me a wax jacket from a market stall. I would ride my 50cc moped half an hour each way in it as well as wear it all day if needed. i reproofed it after 6 months or so and as needed after that. lasted many years and was warmer...

They are great fun and brill to baffle people with in the pub! Perhaps a workshop at the moot?

Wayne, did you manage to sort anything yet? Just wondering if you have a recommendation.

Sounds like some of the campervan MIFI options might work for you. they are often poered by mains or low voltage (generally USB) Or starlink, very pricey though. we're just looking at MIFI in our van at the moment so will be interested to see how this goes...

Exactly my thoughts too Wayne. The only day for me to be offsite would be Friday. Sat and Sun being workshop days. The good thing is because i am a BASC member i can get free tickets to the Game Fair. If i don't make it I've lost nothing!

I've looked into various mobile options for our van and trip. From what i can tell, the main advantage of having an external antenna and wifi on the van is the lack of metal blocking the signal from getting to the antenna. Rather than spend £500 ish and drilling another hole in the roof, at the...

Just wondered if anyone is planning on nipping over to visit the Game Fair whilst at the Moot? It's at Ragley Hall this year, about 3/4 hour away from the Moot site over the Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the core day weekend. I might try and nip over on the Friday if i can. Just a thought... Mark

I would suggest doing one thing at a time. Get so you know and understand how you and the bow works at a set distance. Only then move forward/ back to work on the hold over/ under needed. If you try to change several things at once how do you know what's gone wrong?

I have a few spoon knives and gouges but I would like a scorp. Something around an inch or so in diameter. Does anyone have one they are willing to part with? Thanks

I recently bought some fabric from Pennie Outdoor. No idea if they have a Paramo style material

That will be amazing MoT

I have his other books and this would be nice too. This is our Quince tree. It has lived in the back garden for many years. The flowers are beautiful and the fruit makes a very good jam. We got it after I collected some Quince pears from the woods I used to be a 'keeper on and made some 'Jelly...

you can get the 'easy open' ones as Sara says have one side ready to go when you take it from the container. this type of thing (No affiliation, just the first result when i googled single handed plasters)...

Personally i find the shemaghs a little too bulky when used as a scarf and a little too small when used as a head covering. I prefer a cheche. Made of thin cotton, 5 or 6 feet long and about 2 feet wide or so. It's long enough to wrap round the head and tuck in with some spare to use as a face...
