Today i made some purse nets out of a long net that i bought a while ago it needed to many repairs that it would not have been worth the time to fix so decided to cut out the good parts and turn them into purse nets, i now have about 20 more purse nets to go with the 300+ that i have got, might think about getting rid of a few as i also make them from start to finish, mind you am in the process of making a gill net.
300+ wow. Are they all home made..? I made one once and it took me about two evenings to do.Quote:

Sort of bushcrafty stuff - I sharpened all my bushcraft knives. All razor sharp again now. :)
The most bushcrafty I've done was to clean my cook set , including scouring the soot off the little tea pot I use for making my brew over the fire.
Not sure if I will bother with that much.
What do you do to these things?
Else got a small no-brand AA led flashlight in the mail today, went straight into my EDC bag...for now as a back up for my head light...cost me 2$ including shipping from Hong Kong, hehe
Needs to be done now and then :-)Quote:

This is turning into an annual tradition now as I have made it for the last 6 years.

No idea what rosehip is. So will have to look it up in the dictionary or wikipedia. But sure looks tasty :-)

The recipe for making it is incredibly simple to follow and a large amount of the Rosehips can be gathered in a very short space of time making it a genuinely viable foraged food supplement.
The only cost to this natural Vitamin C source (which can last upto 2 years in the bottle!!) was 750g of sugar or you could substitute this for honey. Whereas the cost of a bottle of Rosehip Vitamin tablets at a leading British high street pharmacist is currently £18.95 !!
