Hi folks, I found my old StealthCam the other day and have been checking it out to see if it's still usable. Everything looks clean in it, no rust or damage to the battery connectors etc. I put batteries it in and turned it on - took a bit of jiggling of the batteries to get the menu to come...

I'm having a clear out and finally letting go of a bunch of stuff that I've had for ages. One item is a home-made hammock under blanket for a Hennessey hammock I made before the group buy for the first BCUK one got made. (I got one of those too!) It was made to the pattern that was about at...

Having a bit of a clearout, and found a tabletop loom that has been in storage for a couple of years... :) I picked it up at some point a few years ago and never actually used it. I don't have the time or space now, so I'm happy to pass this on to someone who will get some use out of it...

Hi all, I shoot the odd rabbit occasionally, and have always just disposed of the jackets - I had six rabbits yesterday, and as the bin men were due early this morning, I bagged them up and they went out with the trash as usual. It only occurred to me just now that someone else may have...

I've been doing some searching on the web, trying to find a particular style of knife, but haven't quite found what I'm looking for. Maybe some of you sharps fans can help me out? I have the BRKT Northstar - it's close to what I'm looking for but the blade is a little short and since I have...

My feet are now too big for these boots, even with just thin socks, so they may as well go to someone else who can use them instead of sitting around my house gathering dust... :) They are goretex, dark blue, and in good condition, but do need a new pair of laces. I've replaced the original...

Been away (from the forum) for a couple of years now; we moved house and everything got moved to the back of the priority list while we got settled in, renovated, started a new business, etc. etc. etc. We're (fairly) sorted out now, although I still have lots of stuff in boxes, and haven't...

Hopefully Abbe or someone is looking in, as I need some help with translation to Finnish. As some of you may know, I'm off to Finnish Lapland in a couple of weeks time. Although I hope to get in plenty of outdoor activity, the real reason for going is that a freind of mine is getting married...

Another give away in the last of my house clearance... :) I found in total 16 bottles of mead (after opening one to test it). It is fizzy, and discussion seems to suggest that this is secondary fermentation rather than anything nasty going on. It may well benefit from being put back into a...

Found this piece of antler while sorting through boxes in the loft. I was going to just chuck it away, as it looks very porous and not much good for anything, but before I do - can anyone find a use for it? Happy to just pass this on to anyone who wants it... The length is...

Ok, so I'm clearing the loft as we're moving house... Most of the stuff up there is complete junk, but as I move boxes and bags, I look inside one box to find - 12 bottles of mead... I made it about 10 years ago, and must have just boxed it up and put it in the loft when I moved last time...

Just saw this on the BBC news website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/5339440.stm ODG

Nick has kindly sent on his photos fro the day, so I've uploaded a few into the Gallery for you all to see what a great day we had! Although the weather early on was a bit grey and misty, as you'll see from the later photos it turned out to be a beautiful day! Here's the group on our...

More on the gear clearance in order to reduce the cost of storage while we 'transition' from house to caravan to house... :) One Hennessy Expedition hammock, with original Asym fly, PLUS #3 snakeskins, PLUS Hex fly (not the silnylon version, the heavier PUcoated version). Used a couple of...

OK, having decided that we're not going to get to run a smallholding for at least two years while we sort out new locations etc., and we're due to move out in less than a month, we've decided to sell off our existing kit. First in the sale, two poultry houses: http://www.ascott.biz/item5.htm...

Many thanks to Wanderinstar for organising the group buy via Snugpack for a hammock underblanket. For those still dithering on the second round of the group buy, here's a size comparison that may help your decision making. Undoubtedly there will be many reviews of the comfort levels from...

I have a Shimano Biomaster XTA 8000 reel, new in box (including the spare reel), for sale. Here's a link to the Tackleshop entry for this item - as you can see they are selling it for £82 plus postage...
