I intend to make the above Net ……...100 self set , what do I need and where do I acquire it , it will not be used daytime and I would prefer the larger sized Mesh.

You just have to adjust the angle that the Teeler is set ! people over here keep things simple and use Materials and Methods that have worked well for hundreds of years and see no reason to re invent the Wheel .

When an animal is caught in a snare it will struggle !this will cause the Wire to heat up and soften which can lead to the Wire breaking so to counteract this Brass Wire is used because it loses heat quickly thus preserving the Snare which can be used for up to a dozen catches Brass Wire can also be tensioned to hold itself in the desired shape so that if it is brushed against by another animal or Bird it will spring back to its initial setting and shape but once the Rabbit has its head in the Wire and pulls it will transfer the tension to the other end of the Wire which will then stop the

NETFLIXS,

The River banks are covered with them and they are very nice to eat ! they smell a little like Garlic but they taste just like Peppery Spinach , they only need a wash and a minute on the stove and job done , nice in a salad , stir fry or on their own , a dishful goes a long way as the don't wilt down as much as Spinach and of course they are free.

Some use a double Hitch and just leave it at that but I twist them tight then use tape , years ago there was a lad on here who made an EYE out of thinner gage Wire that slid up the leg and held the Wire like an ordinary Wire Tealer I thought it was a good idea but others did not .

There is a cure for child poverty its called WORK...… make the lazy b*****ds work and feed their own kids !!!!!!! me and my sister were born working !!!!!! if we had been born 5 years earlier there would be none left.

Its feckless parents who are responsible not the Government , back in the early 50s our neighbours had 16 kids and their dad was often out of work and on the dole but they got by ! they never lacked for Food or Warmth a nd never asked for anything what they did have in heaps was Pride and Dignity .

In Sandy or Peat Soils a Rabbit can loosen or uproot a Peg by Spinning round it but if it is on a Hoop it cannot do that plus the Rabbit or Hare will expire very quickly

This is one I caught under that Gateway as I said they were a nuisance on this place and if they were alive I let them go but you have to wait with them because the go into shock and they need a few minutes to come out but if you leave them to it the Buzzards will do them

I like using them on Fences because its hard for me to tie Knots not only are they quick to set and pick up they will also close the Run down if that is needed , one place I go for the odd Rabbit their are a lot of Hares and that gate where the Feeder is I was always pulling them up so I gave it best in that spot

Just had a call from our eldest Daughter who is a Nurse in Leicester she is not the sort to panic and she is often at the sharp end when things go down she said for people our age with health problems this Virus is LETHAL and it has just killed a Consultant aged 50 who was in very good health

It shows me how much people have changed since the War, my Mother and Grandparents were happy to Queue for a few Scraps and I am sure they would never have been selfish enough to deprive others back in the 50s people behaved with more Pride and Dignity it sounds silly now days but if the Queen had said "stay in " then stay in they would .

I like Cats but in 1964 I went on Cat shoot on a disused Air base a few miles from Brig at the side of the Humber, there was a piece in the local Paper and a picture of the Master of the Brocklesby Hunt who supervised it along with a Copper from Scunthorpe, , the Cats were in Acres of Brambles that covered all the Wartime Nissan huts , it was a great day out but those sort of days are long gone .

I live in the Dales between two famous beauty spots which have been locked down today there are thousands of visitors and the Police can do nothing about it . It has been made worse by the Carparks being locked up so the Cars are blocking all the roads .

If that was your first time you ain't felt nothing yet wait till you have it in the Elbow or after a having it in the Wrist a few times you get the Joint infected underneath the Gout ,Cider Vinegar or any type of Vinegar or Red Wine are all to be avoided along with all Seafood and Offal and stay clear of Orange Juice , Colchisin or Steroids are the only Drugs that have cleared mine up but they wont give it to you until it really hurts and that's a lot worse than the little Girl's Fanny itch that you are having now . ENJOY.

I have just been asked if I wanted two Weeks in bed for £3500 because with my age and Asthma I ticked the right boxes , I asked my Daughter who is a Nurse "what did she think " she said "do not go near it " That's enough for me .
