I have loads of outdoor camping and cooking stoves, and I would say forget colemans, you need to carry a gallon of petrol and they can let you down when you need them, gas I would not rely on in a survival situation again if you run out your fecked and they are a bit fiddly for repairing in the field, I have a mini trangia that runs on meths clean very light and no parts to break and I have just bought a wood gas stove for £9.99 from China the same make and model is going for £50 in uk shops it runs on twigs or meths and once again no parts can stop working, and I have also always got a Kelly

My laptop's old but has a SD card slot in the front I only have an iPad and a laptop that won't connect to the internet I bought a gadget that plugs into the iPad and reads the cards but it failed to upload video so I,m afraid it will have to b

it's not as big as it looks really mate I,m just good at fish pics, it's actually only 16 1/2 pound, funny thing is I,ve never seen one in the flesh before always fancied a go then catch this on a carp runs water on a zig rig in the middle of a match( nothing serious just a 24 hr match between a few mates) he lost a bigger one as well, there are so many of them here now they are quite prolific at breeding I think it's another alien that's here to stay hope you get to meconenza one day mate the fight is pretty special

Another big cat sighting, but this time my son actually caught it so there can be know doubt, this was on Friday night somewhere in deepest Staffordshire

Don't bother me if that's your bag go for it, but I,m on the side of firm hand shake and eye contact, says something about someone before you get to know them, were as a wet cheek don't give you much of an insight into someone

IT might all be true, but the thing they have failed to mention is that dogs, don't lie, if my dogs start growling and getting stand offish with a person I,ve not met before I to become suspicious of that person and in 40 years of dog ownership my assorted mutts have never failed me and anyone they have taken a proper dislike to has always turned out to be a bit of a sneaky little backstabbing type including my own sister in law, nothing racist just a sixth sense that dogs seem to have which I,m happy to trust regardless of skin colour

I used to earn a three pence piece for sweeping the sawdust up in the butchers after school age 7, 5 evenings, then £2.50 age 12 milk round Saturday/Sunday morning then first full time job £25 a week age 16, got a job in a nuclear power station soon after when it was still nationalised and wages were £189 a week, I thought I was Rockefeller for a while, bought a triumph 2.5pi for my first car and it cost me twice the purchase price to insure it but I was the bollox so did,nt care ( or I thought I was at the time )

For what reason?Mating?surely they still do the same in Africa yet they can still pattern specific animals,anomalous BBC's have lets say been here for 50 years?40 years?instinctually they will still behave as their African or north American counterparts as darwins theory of evolution wasn't based over 40 or 50 years so they haven't had time to unlearn African or north American instincts and re-learn to suit this country. I,m learning as I go mate I can't answer all the questions only what I find as I go, and from reports and sightings in my own area I have come to the conclusion that when the

how much time do you spend looking for dead animals up trees ? I have pictures of some

The population density makes baiting and waiting a bit hit and miss in the uk, plus the cats move a lot during summer, but I have a few areas that I,m sure cats have held up for a while during winter in the past that I plan to do excactly that in, there is also a very long road I drive along, that a few road kill deer have been dragged back from the road and stripped so I will keep a camera in my van and set it near the next one I find, it's just a case of being in the right place at the right time and if I have enough time left to be there, though I suspect that the first 100 percent photo or

another American that's big on them and has a web site and a few YouTube vids is a guy named rattlinrandy (only in America) despite the name still worth a look

I'd back a leopard or jaguar over 5 bull x's mate Agreed , hence why I didn't say they would Again agreed, however that seems to be at the extreme end of the spectrum? Those seem to be plott joins types there hunting there, how would you rate their guts , power and determination to master a large carnivore? Would they be capable of turning over multiple foxes in a night? I doubt it, so as much as I enjoy your posts mackem mate, I still reckon three or four proper bullbtupes would do a less impressively sized mountain lion... do the plott hounds bay or catch? If there is a large cat

I,ve moved away from tapering my bands a bit as it seems to shorten the life, I use 15mm straight cuts for shooting tins in the garden 25mm covers target and small game and I have a couple with 32mmstraights that are for purely hunting also use 12mm lead in the bigger bands and 10mm steel in the smaller ones

What ever you do don't leave a trail of breadcrumbs behind in the hope you can follow them back in the morning a young couple tried it years ago, went so horribly wrong they wrote a book about it, be safe

think I'm getting a bit that way to but is there such a thing as to many cattys ? nice collection mate and I tend to agree you can't have to many, I like different things on different days and if I,m just tinkering in the garden I might use two or three different types in a day, even when I do have a bit of a clear out I just make or trade more anyway

I like the one's that are made from a forked branch did you make them yourself. all my work mate except the two top left ones, I collect hazel forks in February and just make them when I have time during the year this one is one of the nicest pieces of wood I,ve found in a long while cheers. That's a cracker pal,are they hard to use do you hit your hand's much with the ammo. sorry I had to go out but in answer to your question I hardly ever hit my hands or forks, not saying it's never happened as it has or I,m the best shot in the world but I,m 55 years old now and my first catty,s cost 10

how do you find them in comparison to tbg mate, do you cut them yourself from a sheet or are they pre cut bands when they arrive, I,ve tried a few different types over the years but always end up back on tbg or 1745 latex tube

How do you get on with a PFS? I can't shoot one for shit haha I can only shoot it if I aim,nothing like some of the people that just point and shoot them but I don't spend nough time on it really, it's just an old paint brush handle with a U sanded in the end
