The Farmer X is only available in Alox (I believe). For me, It's my smart dress knife. I have it with me if I'm dressed smart/casual or smarter; otherwise it will be one of my other SAKs, usually a Champ. It doesn't have the corkscrew, small blade, that hook thingy, toothpick or tweezers. But it...

There are very few places on the South and South East coast that I would consider foraging without very careful research on the beach and water quality. I only eat off the West coast of Scotland these days and even then prefer to be on one of the inner or outer isles. Sorry to be a pessimist :(

if you do a search for 'molle clips' on Amazon you get loads of different attachement types.

Native Americans used it medicinally (for example the Delaware used it for hooping cough) but it has to be carefully processed to make it edible (similar to Lords and Ladies - Arum Maculatum).

Western Skunk Cabbage I believe. Although there are other similar skunk cabbages :)

I've had friends say that their cat brings in more live mice than it kills indoors :)

Only for relatively mild conditions; anti-motility drugs should only be used to limit frequency of bowel movement - it does not cure. More importantly is to use ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution). The body needs to evacuate the cause of infection. The causes of diarrhoea and food poisoning are...

Reindeer hide is a fantastic insulator due to the hollow hairs but the cheaper ones do shed hair. I am told, but can't vouch for the accuracy, that it depends on the season the animal is culled. I have two and as an underblanket they are superb.

Welcome to the forum :) You are in one of my favourite parts of the world!

Tree dwelling or ground dwelling - warmth and comfort are sacred to a good trek IMO. I have, in the past, used the need for a pee to get me up that hour earlier than I might otherwise have done, and enjoyed the early start. But, it's started getting earlier and earlier and, occasionally, more...

Hi, welcome to the forum :) There are a few on here that take medication for the torch addiction - I'm sure you'll have many 'confession' conversations :)

Hi there, welcome to the forum :) I'll PM you about insurance.

Still got my OM-1 and a Bronica ETRS - I keep meaning to put some film through them but I've had difficulty sourcing a battery for the Bronica :(

OS are selling Mac in a Sac Ponchos with 20% off if you buy two...

Sorry to hear that Tengu! I hope you make a swift and full recovery.

It's worth making the point, I think, that if you use a hosting site, and that site changes or you stop using it, your post will loose the link to the photo and may become meaningless. Many good threads from a few years ago have lost all their photos because of that and are considerably less...

I second the Merlin app for birdsong identification - it is surprisingly accurate. Seek is OK for identifying wildlife in general but I have found only about 70% accurate - it gives you a good starting point but don't take it as gospel. I use Memory Map - 50 & 25,000 scale OS - single purchase...

Welcome to the forum :) I look forward to hearing about your journey!

Brilliant, so envious - maybe someday (but sadly not in my lifetime I expect)

First Pied Flycatcher yesterday, and first Swallow today :) And, the sun is out!
