Here is a plan for a very efficient solar cooker. have fun and dont get burnt. http://solarcooking.wikia.com/wiki/%22Minimum%22_Solar_Box_Cooker

Just bought a four piece Sharpening kit from Aldi for £7.99 all Diamond in 200/300/400/600 grades with holder...fastened together in an oblong, the four sided block slots into a chunky holder with ridges on the bottom to stop slippage...it re edged my Axe in a bout fifteen minutes to a fine edge...

I bought a couple of water proof clear plastic boxes with chords to hang round your neck.....I filled them with lots of medical supplies that I know would be needed in the field including butterfly sutures, they cost a £1.00 each from pound land and carry enough gear for the worst of medical...

The knife in my signature is made from a file and it is very sharp, keeps and edge no matter what I throw at it....since, I have re-profiled the handles and oiled the wood....files make cracking knives and they last forever, cut nearly everything and make you feel confident about what you are doing.

Bought one of these a few weeks ago from Mean and Green for £14.00 inc the postage...it came in as new condition but smelling of 50 years of storage...first thing to do was to dunk it in a bucket of water and soak it for a couple of days...then I packed it with news papers to regain the natural...

When shooting an un-silenced air rifle whilst in a hunting situation the resulting crack is enough to scare everything else around you away...because the effective hunting range of a sub 12flbs rifle is about 30 yards, stealth is a big part of an effective kill and making the least amount of...

It is what it is...an A.S.I rifle and one of value, not many of them about in that condition...it would fetch a fair price on one of my forums....let me know if you intend to sell.

This is mine....well one of a few....the latest to my collection. any more just let me know...

, The power of your Hornet is factory set at a little over 11flbs...your gun is regulated so shot to shot consistency should be less than 10fps...I would be very surprised if the gun was over the limit as it is fitted with anti tamper....and to reiterate a former muting shooting Tree Rats is a...

The fruit of the fuchsia is a very sweet and enjoyable little plum shaped delight and at this time of the year they are ready for eating...very often overlooked and discarded as they are like a small purple olive but the flesh is a treat (don't eat the pips) and you will find most gardens have...

I find collecting them when very ripe, splitting and cleaning out the insides, then eating them like grapes is a nice way to enjoy them and I agree there is a bit of a glut about along with lots of nice apples all going begging.

I have a larger box of leather just waiting for inspiration and I think you have just provided some. thank for that and congrats on a very nice blog.

From my own findings and that of my very usefull Iphone app i can happily say they are field mushrooms and very tasty they are too, I pick them in their hundreds and would not hesitate to get them in the pan.

Well my axe is now finished and I will post a pic later....I have made a leather sheath, the blade is nicely sharp, the handle stained walnut and hand oiled....four hours with a metal file, sharpening stones and my fingers nearly dropped off, but its done and its mine...I am going to stipple the...

They taste better if you cut the spinal chord, break the middle section of the tail and remove the gut channel, give them a good clean, chop a couple of small shallots fine add a couple of garlic cloves and a slug of dry white wine and cook as you would normally...remove from the liqueur and...

I bought a french Joddler for opening my bottles....small t bar handle with two slim pieces of metal just less than a corks width apart...gently slide them down the side of the cork level with the handle and rock it back and forth and the cork just pops out....small enough to fit in your wallet.

What a nice gift, and an equally beautiful knife...you are a talented man...nice one.

Mine looks like yours now I have got rid of the dreadfull black paint...I am going to stain the handle walnut and oil it and the blade will be lovingly sharpened to a fine cutting edge....more pics soon.

Made these over the weekend one for my brother and the other for me....they are made from scrap leather with locking rings to keep the strop tight and a bamboo and chord handle...they will be oiled and treated with fine paste to strop a good edge...they took about an hour to make.....The big one...

yep I realised it was in the wrong place...sorry.
