    Well seeing as my last post was back in 2013 I thought I better say hello in here! Quiet a lot has changed since I was last here, several house moves, an actual permanent mrs and a small female version of me has also arrived! New dogs too and soon to have puppies as well Cheers Hyperion

    Car boot sale! I know the jap ones are good but to be honest a 50p carboot whetstone and an old leather belt will do the job just as well! If you really want all the faff of Japanese stones and what not then fine but you can get a decent enough edge from an old lump of roof slate and a bit of cardboard as a strop!

    Better off just doing habitat improvement to attract some deer on to the land!

    's easy! You can normally find plenty of whetstones cheap at boot sales, buy a few and an old leather belt and watch a few of these videos and away you go! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWJMEWck3WI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=une4Zp75gWU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYnFL3zCYUY

    Cheers guys! I was back out last Thursday but even though we stalked into a lot of groups of deer we never really got a chance to set a shot up until late in the day when I got a big buck in the scope but I just wasn't 100% sure of the shot so didn't take the chance. Back out at the end of this week though so fingers crossed!

    First off I would like to say a massive thank you to my good friend Mr M for giving me the chance to shoot my first ever deer (and for the ham sandwhich) and also to Ben who was my guide for the day for his patience and utter determination through out the day (We ain't going back with out a deer mush). Martin had very kindly offered me the chance to try for my first deer back in November but for various reasons had not been able to take up the opportunity until recently, when after a change of plans at work I suddenly had a day off last monday, the 18th of March, and so at very short notice I

    I really wasnt happy with the shape of the beech handle i'd made for my old mora so after a bit of faffing its gone from this to this and now to this, oak and black walnut Cheers

    Looks like a nice pair of catapult forks to me

    I'd rather have a prong with me than a grubaxe or pick Alimac, they are much easier to use in tight spaces, only ever done one dig to terriers but for any sort of digging if I was limited on the tools I could take it would be a shovel, prong and a folding saw for big roots, can see as you would need much else unless it was a bar for really heavy going. £ is steep for any tool let alone one you could make for your self for bugger all.

    's a good handy tool, good for prying out rocks and breaking hard stoney ground etc and cost me £1.50 and two minutes with an angle grinder!

    Was going to say pretty much the same thing Davy! If you stand to one side of a springer when it goes off it sounds like a brass band falling down a lift shaft but if you stand down range of it you dont hear even half as much noise! Try it, SAFELY, and see what you reckon

    would love to see that go threw a concret floor or a pile of rock robert You wouldn't get one of those sharp tooth prongs through a pile of rocks, a prong is just a handy tool to break out shale, gravel and hard ground so you can shovel it out, if you need to break out rocks or concrete use a bar just buy one and try it out this season see what you think and what it will break up robert I've got a prong made out of a fork bought from a boot sale for one and a half quid! looks pretty much just like them sharp tooth things and does the same job, been using one for years fro

    Ha! Tiny little fields! deer every where, all the time, especially when you dont want them to be! often find them on my door step eating the hanging baskets while the lurcher head butts the glass door!

    Just get a good digging fork and cut the two outside tines off with a grinder

    you would be surprised the type of people who shine in adverse conditions, its never the ones you expect, toughness comes from within They always say to watch out for the quiet ones Next question: group or solitary? I read a great book called Refuge by Richard Herley: one bloke had survived alone for 14 years (fiction of course) in his house in the woods, before he got caught up in a struggle to help a group who were besieged by the 'bad guys'. A group is only as strong as its weakest member, and finding the right combination of people would be the hardest thing IMO. Ha

    I think you would very soon end up with just a general pack type dog of a none descript breed much like a dingo or other primative dog, a sort of retro-evolution of dog if you like, you would have to become nomadic and the dogs would have to hunt/scavenge for their own food or starve or be eaten. There is little doubt in my mind that the first dogs domesticated by humans were seen as a source of food and not only as providers of food. Also getting off this tiny island and onto the continent would be high on my list of things to do, greater area equals a greater chance of survival.

    Ha ha ha ha ha i've been through several Expensive boots over the last two years, lundhags, berghaus, le chameau and a few others and spend nigh on a thousand pounds and still not had a single pair last for more than ten months! My lundhags were replaced three times and every pair failed within three months! Pay your money and take your choice just dont expect any boot no matter how expensive to be any bloody good! The only exception would be Haix chainsaw boots

    Why not go for something totally different? get a beddy/whip or some thing like that then when you have got your head back together get a bigger dog?
