I thought it was field maple at first but after a bit of searching it looks more like norway maple any thoughts would be greatly appreiciated cheers Duncan

Found Some Walnut Trees Today.
dyer replied to pie-eater's topic in Living Off The Land & Game Cooking
I have picked a few walnuts from a tree near me over the last few years ,I just keep an eye on them until the casing starts to go brown then pick them. in fact the first year I found the tree there were a lot on the floor and the casings had rotted off so it was just a case of picking up them up . Mind you if you have squirrels it might pay to pick them before they get to hungry. I have never tried pickling them , I think you need to pick them when they are quite young for that -
On a lighter note ,we were once asked to do a busy road side .After being there for an hour or so the police turned up after having a call reporting a body in the hedge , turns out it was my dad lead in the hedge netting up !

I think that is your bleed screw .you need to tighten it up then fill your gun, when its full turn off the main valve undo the bleed screw to let out the air left in the pipe then disconnect from the gun Duncan

Cheers for that ,very interesting. In the wikipedia article says " Once the desired blood was drained from the patient, the operator would place a pin through the edges of the incision. A figure eight of tail hair or thread would then be placed over the pin to retain closure." So I presume it must also be done as some sort of medical procedure ? Duncan

to keep the cost down ,get hold of an old file you can anneal it ( heat it up to red hot then cool it slowly ) then you can shape it re harden it . There are plenty of videos on youtube also this site is very useful www.britishblades.com

Not a weird place but at the weekend I had to use a ladder to net some holes as they were about 8-10 ft off the ground up a vertical bank

I always make sure mine are well fed aswell,so they wont feel the urge to feed down the hole if they kill. But when I was young my old man used not to feed his the day before to make them " keener ". to be honest I cant remember that it made that much difference

We put an elastic band on each of our nets , then when you put a net over a hole put the band on your wrist then when you are picking up the nets take a band from your wrist and put back around the net .then if you have any bands left on your wrist you know you have a net left out .We have been doing this for about 4 years and it is a simple but very effective.

I put one in my old lightening a few years ago and it made alot of difference ,a great improvement in my opinion. it did away with the twang and reduced the recoil

They are great guns, very accurate. have fun shooting ,but take care and shoot safely.

just read that pdf ,very interesting .Do you think that when it comes to filtering it that running it through on of those brita water filters would do the same job ,after all they are charcoal ? And what about distilling some cider would that produce cider brandy?

I read somewhere that when you remove the fruit take the stones out and make some flapjack and put the fruit into it .I intend to try that soon
