If your permision has got a lot of gorse, or bramble, get a decent machete. Don't be tempted to buy a cheap one of the 'net.

I thought your machete was specially designed for cutting round corners there Maltenby

Always be mindful of the wind direction. Basic but is often forgotten about.

[R_Oldroyd 17]

Always keep a spare purse net in your pocket to replace the net that caught a rabbit. Saves time and possibly a lost rabbit.

OR anything else...squirrel, snake, fox, mink etc...about 15 years back I was out one lovely summers evening with my mate Andy who had a very unfortunate encounter with an adder down a rabbit hole...don't mind admitting it scared the s**t out of me as well. He recovered ok but the hospital were a bit lost what to do to start with, and you can still see a bit of mark and discolouration on his hand.

An obvious one is keep quiet, don't stamp around or let your dog blow down the holes.

Secondly always check all your kit before ou go out.

Get out as early as you can. You don't want to be looking for a lost ferret in the dark.
