The fact is there are many who have learnt from others how to do the job over the years, and there are those who don't have a clue, do you really expect those that don't have a clue will rush off to do a DSC? No I dont, that was the purpose of my post. Your initial post appeared negative toward the need for training/ education. The DSC to my mind is the most accessable to the "hobby" stalker. I, like yourself, am not a fan of a nanny state, and have resisted DSC until I had to provide. But, as you have stated- The fact is there are many who have learnt from others how to do the job over the years, and there are those who don't have a clue. Those that are not aware, and are not fortunate to have the benefit of an experienced mentor, potentially put themselves, consumers and livestock at risk. How can that ever be a good thing. For that reason I feel that DSC, or any other game prep course can only be beneficial. My view is if you are going to stalk deer, a DSC is a small price to pay. Feel free to join in anyone. Tabs

How many cases of food poisoning can you recall from any Game Dealer or anyone who has eaten a rabbit, pheasant whatever they have shot.... EVER? The uninformed, untrained, uncertified have been eating off the land for many hundreds of years. None personally, but then i give a **** what I eat and pass on to others. I wont comment on a public forum the **** (large and small game) I have seen passed on. I am not looking for a fight, just pointing out how even basic training, in my albeit vastly less decorated experience, would benefit all consumers of wild game. You have a lot to learn about the real world Tabs Maybe. But it is mentioned a lot. Tabs

Ask yourself honestly Deker, how many deer are consumed without even basic knowledge of inspection? DSC1, however basic is no bad thing. Well? Not relevant? Tabs

You have PM

I work as a local authority grants officer, and apart from the first understandably cynical paragraph more or less agree with Gimlet. I have seen properties with more cold bridges that the Volga. Best bet is to contact your Local Authority and enquire if there are Energy Efficiency Grants available in your locale. If they are not running one they should be able to direct you to either a national organisation (Warm Front) or to your local Home Improvement Agency who should signpost you to the best information. Most of grants still available are now means tested. Tabs

TY Rush' good info, what engine size was the RR and what mileage did you keep it till? Hi Al4x, is the shorter life the same with larger blocks? 4-5 litre? Tabs

I am currently lookng at the second hand market for a 4x4 use as a daily runner and lamping truck with a limited budget. Most of my mileage is around town for work, so I am keem to keep fuel costs as low as possible but still retaining a proper 4x4. There are a number of larger vehicles around which have been converted to LPG which leads me to my questions. Does LPG limit the life expectancy of an engine (running hotter?) Is there a difference in Bi Fuel and LPG conversions? Is there anything I should be lookng for when viewing, regisered conversion etc? If anyone has direct experience of running a converted vehicle any info would be useful. Thanks Tabs
