Have a Lite Outdoors Titanium stove with both 12" and 18" bodies. The 12" body has been used a few times, but the 18" is brand new still in its wrapper. There is a 9 foot titanium chimney with this as well. The site I bought this from is currently unavailable due to a Wordpress error, but from...

3 years ago, seven brave souls agreed to meet in a place called Shiny Cliff woods. When the snow fell on said woods, only five appeared and in the wind, rain and the snow, they battled through with goat meat, rice pudding and a silver birch dragged down a hill... it was more than an adventure...

I'm busy making a leather sheath and I'd like to include a piece of reindeer antler into the belt loop. I know its a long shot but does have a piece of reindeer antler they would be willing to sell me? Preferably around 2" in length and hollow.

Perhaps an odd question for a Sunday morning, but does anyone have experience in flying drones in extreme cold? I know the cold will effect the battery life, as it does with other battery operated equipment, but I'm more concerned about the effects on the internal sensors of the drone and the...

Is there a good place to buy woolen blankets on the high street? I want a couple of woolen blankets as I plan to discard my pathetic sleeping bag. Only thing is, the plan is I want to be out and about this weekend... so its unlikely I can order online.

Been busily making things out of leather for almost a year now... but I'm having a problem that my books don't seem to cover. In the main I've been using Al Stohlman's books on case making and I've attempted stitching leather boxes. The books recommend mitering the edges to a 45 degree angle...

I'm a film buff... love my films I do. They are a great part of my life and I watch at least one film every day (unless I'm in the woods, but even then I sneak one in one my mobile phone). A disturbing trend in films is the stakes have to be mammoth... huge... the end of the world is nigh...

A British inventor called Shawyer designed a new type of engine which he called an EM drive. The majority of scientists scoffed because it seemed to defy the laws of physics, so they dismissed it. Thankfully some took it seriously and now the space agencies have worked out it is capable of...

Been away for a short camping trip and one of the many discussions included first aid kits. I currently own 4... but they're all shop bought kits that range from a basic travel kit to a large family-orientated or group kit that I take on our family camping trips. My intention is to build a...

Last year I bought myself a Stoeger X20 (.177) with a scope and at the time I bought a batch of paper targets to shoot at. I've got quite a big garden, so I attached the targets to some logs and had a thoroughly good time practising. This last week my wife was about to throw out some of her...

Does anyone understand how to translate English into Futhark runes? Apart from 26 characters reduced to 24, some of the runes are double lettered... little bit confusing. More than happy to buy books if anyone can recommend some?

As the title says, its my first attempt at a leather molded pouch. I made the mold for the pouch from some offcuts of cherry wood and some plyboard I had... using a router to get the edges nice and rounded... then wet a piece of leather, formed it round the mold and then clamped it. Took a...

I've been having a go at working with wet leather and moulding it around tools. I hadn't given much thought to the temperature of the water, but when I used hot water the leather seemed to bubble for longer (about 40 minutes instead of previously 20 minutes) and the leather was much softer...

So rather than what I usually do, I decided to just make it. Cherry wood top and ash on the bottom, separated by 1mm aluminum. Gave it a brief brush of linseed oil and made a little leather tab for it. It's a bit rough looking as I made it quite quickly to test the idea, but I'm happy...

I've got a hand saw that is like a knife, but with a saw blade instead of a knife blade. I'm wanting to make a leather sheath for it, but when I made a template for it, the saw blade was catching... just wondering if the teeth are going to chew through the welt over time? If it is going to...

I'm making a leather sheath for my knife and I'd like to make a pouch on it to contain some sort of sharpening stone. Could anyone recommend a good sharpening stone that isn't too bulky and where to buy it?

Not sure whether this is just our local area... but everyone seems to be ill. Caught my wife on Boxing Day... she was off her feet for two days... aching muscles and just wanted to sleep non-stop. Right after that it got my youngest lad... high temperature, coughing, headaches... then my...

My Mini has finally come back from the garage after a 11 month stay, and despite it still being fun to drive, I think it might be time to part ways with it. I've also got a Mazda I bought as a temporary runabout... so I think it might be time to sell the pair and get one really good vehicle. My...

Can anyone recommend a good book for learning how to identify trees?

Been watching a Time Team special from a few years back about Doggerland... I've seen it before ages ago, but forgot just how good it was. The stuff the archaeologists know is amazing enough, but some of the bones and tools they've got from the North Sea is truly bizarre given the timescale...
