Beautiful, Bernie.

Lovely little Amanita. I rarely find them in such pristine condition.

Wow, crazy cheap!
There's no way the quality would be there, but I guess if they last enough for me to make two or three useful items I'd be happy. Then if I wanted to pursue the hobby I could...

Might I point out the 'donate' button on the homepage?

The animals on tje moor are no more dangerous than they are in a field. Give cows with calfs a wide birth, so they don't see you as a threat.

Hello.
It's not unusual to get a bit spooked if you're not used to solo camping. I find my hearing gets really keen when I'm out on my own and I can hear every little rustling. That won't change, ...

It does grow in the uk, but I've never used it. I'll keep more of a look out and see if it's common in my are.

Ha. The only reason I'd take the cat camping would be to cook the little blighter.

Seriously though, thanks gents. I'll try soaking in some vinegar or bicarb.

Hello hive mind.
It would appear that the cat has p!$$ed on a rucksack of mine. I have cleaned the affected area and left it in a draughty place for several weeks to air out. But the smell is still...

Impressive. That's looks like the way I've used lighter (and opinels) in thee past.

I used to use the bottom of a lighter when I was younger. Lever it with the thumb as fulcrum iirc. In fact the bottom of an opinel works well too. But it does get sore on the thumb after a few times....

I appreciate all your kind words. I'll replace it at some point. The fact is, my attachment to it is clearly out f proportion to how useful it is. It spent more time in my pocket than out. But when...
