i would say mark3 for the locator

[Guest Bigbob]

Put up a location then see if somebody in your area will let you tag along with them and see what gear they use and if you like it you can buy the same gear .

Im 15 been ferreting since i was 8, i got all my equiptment off ebay from a guy called "purple liam", he makes great good-quality nets at good prices too.

As for losing your ferret, i was exactly the same i would never put my ferret in a bury that was it a hedge or anywhere near brambles, but dont worry, i soon got used to it and now i put him everywhere! They are pretty hard to lose especially if you have an albino

Gett stuck in Brecon!.... Young ferrets with little or no experience are unlikely to stay down for long so don't be too worried. In all my years ferreting I've only gone home once without a ferret but came back to collect her from a live catch trap next morn'.
