Same here, I live in hunting gear most of the time too. When it comes to casual clothes though, most lads I know keep it pretty simple, good fitting jeans or cargos, a plain tee or graphic t shirt, and a hoodie or flannel over the top. Trainers are common, but a lot still stick with casual boots. Nothing too flashy, just comfortable and easy to throw on. Smart casual would usually mean dark jeans or chinos with a polo or button down shirt. Can’t really go wrong with simple and well fitted.

£4 for a mediocre Americano is painful. I don’t blame you at all for drawing the line there. £1.50 from a greasy spoon is great value, especially when it’s hot and reliable. You sometimes see builders’ cafés doing filter coffee for around £1 to £1.20, but they’re getting harder to find. At the end of the day, paying sensible money for a decent cup beats overpaying for something forgettable every time.

They do take a bit of getting used to, but once your eyes adjust, they’re great for all-day wear. For frames, focus on shapes that suit your face and feel comfortable, rather than worrying about looking like a magazine model. Comfort and fit matter most since you’ll be wearing them all the time.

Using solar panels to run a small bedroom heater in winter is generally not practical. Even a low-wattage heater draws more power than a few panels can supply, and you’d need a large battery to store enough energy for cloudy or early-morning use. For taking the edge off the cold, it’s usually more effective to use a small mains-powered heater or improve insulation and draft-proofing. Solar could supplement heating, but in practice it will provide very limited warmth in a typical bedroom during winter.

If shed builders are booked up and timber prices are high, then yes, building it in block and render will likely be cheaper and more durable right now. A block shed will stay dry, last longer, and give you a much more solid bar and aviary setup. If you do not have the time to build a full shed yourself, you can hire a local bricklayer to put up the block walls and then finish the inside later. That keeps the project manageable without relying on shed companies. Prefab timber kits are another option, but with current prices they often end up costing more than blockwork.

Hi everyone, I’m looking into setting up a laser target practice system at home to improve my accuracy and reaction time safely. I’m curious about options that are both durable and responsive, ideally with scoring or feedback features. Does anyone have experience with commercial laser target systems versus DIY setups? I’d also love insights on portability, battery life, sensor accuracy, and compatibility with different firearms or training guns. Are there brands or models that stand out for reliability and realistic practice? Any tips for setting up a safe and effectiv

Hi everyone, I recently came across a deer shot placement simulator and am curious about its practical value for hunters. Has anyone used one to improve accuracy or learn anatomical shot zones? I’m especially interested in how realistic these simulators are compared to actual field conditions. Do they help with decision-making under pressure, like aiming for vital organs while avoiding non-lethal shots? Also, are there particular software or apps you’d recommend for beginners versus experienced hunters? Any tips on integrating simulator practice with real-life hunting prep

thank you for your suggestion

You can buy a 2-acre plot for keeping chickens, pigs, sheds, and a caravan, but you need to check local planning rules. Agricultural or non-residential land usually requires permission for structures or caravans. Make sure the land has legal access, utilities (water, waste, electricity), and clear boundaries. Costs will include the land itself plus any development or permission fees. Consulting the local planning authority before buying is essential.

Hey everyone, I'm looking to set up a laser target practice system at home and could use some advice. I'm mainly interested in improving accuracy and reflexes without the hassle or expense of live ammo. What equipment do you recommend? Laser cartridges, reactive targets, or apps? Are there specific brands or setups that work best for dry fire drills? Also, how much space do I realistically need for effective practice? I'd love to hear from anyone who's already tried it. Any tips or mistakes to avoid would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like a great opportunity for an experienced, insured shooter. With visible warrens and regular activity, it should be manageable. Hopefully someone local can help you out and deal with the rabbits quickly and humanely.

Try checking with specialist shooting or country clothing retailers in the UK like John Shooter or Harkila. Some offer larger sizes or can special order them. You can also look into international brands that ship to the UK, as they often carry sizes up to 5XL or more.
