For Sale: One Kelly Kettle. It's been well used, but is complete and in good condition. If you've never seen or used one of these before, it allows you to boil water in a matter of minutes using whatever you have to hand. A few twigs, some paper, or even some leaves and it'll be boiling in no time. Ideal for fishing or hunting trips you can also buy aftermarket cooking kits to use with it. Why am I getting rid of it? Well, to be honest I need the money and I have something else I use most of the time these days (no, not an electric kettle). I'm not sure w

It was common practice 40 years ago Thankfully, attitudes to that have moved on somewhat

I'm no fisherman, but I hear lots of talk about Crow Point and Fremmington Quay locally There used to be a good tackle shop in Castle St Barnstaple; I'm not even sure if it's still there. I'll ask around this week if I get chance Where are you staying? PM if you like

Hang on a minute? When did this 'huge' cull take place? I must have missed that You can't expect the owner of the site to ignore blatant rule breaking just in case one of the rule breakers happens to be selling something surely? The fact is, a few members went over the top, and despite plenty of warning via PM and using the system, pushed things a bit too far and paid the price for it. Jai, you're a good fella, who I've had the pleasure of dealing with in the past and I'm sure being under pressure at the moment is making things seem much worse, but the way I read it, the peop

I don't know if it's just coincidence, but during my recent squirrel trapping adventure the only foul catch I had was in an old rusty Fenn. The dipped traps all had good clean kills in them every time There is no doubt that the coating doesn't last forever, but judging by my mole traps that I coated, Speed Dip certainly lasts well. Those traps were in the ground for 9 months of the year, and were pressure washed after each job. They're still coated now, although it is a bit patchy. My experience is that one quick dip each year recoats them well

and let's not forget that in that particular court case (the only one) he was not 'found' guilty of anything. He pleaded guilty because he couldn't afford to defend the case Anyway, it's been nice chatting about old times and remembering a couple of reasons why I don't miss doing conventional pest control I'll leave you to it fellas

Wise move I use Speed Dip on mine for the same reason A quick dip, no boiling, no faffing around, and they're coated and waxed in one

I've just remembered why I gave up pest control

Try again Haymin, and I'll sort it for you

All very well and good if the product you've chosen to use states that you have to 'block', but it doesn't really answer the question posed by Mr Wasp. Contrary to popular belief, the NPTA don't make the laws of this land, nor do they represent all pest controllers

I don't boil mine at all I don't really see the need When they're dirty, I pressure wash them, when I need to coat them I use Speed dip. I can't see any reason why you couldn't do them in the 'set' position, but make sure you put a stone or a brick in the bottom of your boiling vessel so that they aren't in contact with the heat If you heat a trap up too much you change the temper of the steel and potentially ruin them I reckon Heritage is 'the man in the know' when it comes to stuff like this. He'll be along at some point

Fantastic post TC I hate to see people trying to karate chop bunnies...... I'm also not fond of watching folks trying to untangle coneys in nets so that they can give them a stretch..... Chinning is the way As for priests; I'd rather see them used than the dreaded Kung Fu Karate chop
