My mate used to issue safety kit in a factory. Many of the lads moaned about wearing safety boots.
His reply was "once you've signed for them I don't care if you turn up in your carpet slippers "

I made a cold frame from mainly plastic roof sheets. If you have a double glazing / window firm near you...get yourself down to them and ask if / when they have any plastic roofing sheets. Just remember that they have to pay to dispose of them...and you're doing them a favour by taking them away. BUT you'll gladly contribute to their tea/ coffee fund in return for several 1 metre X 2.4 metre sheets! My frames were constructed using stripped down 'long' pallets (what you get plasterboard delivered on)...this was for the back...as the sun doesn't get round there! The front, sides and top were plastic, twin wall sheets. I have some long plastic pieces that the sheets fit into (hard to describe but here goes...) they are an H shape, turned 90 degrees and the sheets slide up / down. Anyway, it's just a case of getting yourself round the firms that will come into contact / supply new sheets on a daily basis and politely ask them if they have any spare. You can always (if you can keep your promises) bring them some 'produce' from your cold frame (in a few months) and this will hopefully help you to secure any more 'favours' in the future! My cold frame, atm, has 21 courgette plants in it, all are thriving and flowers are due to appear soon. I planted them in the frame as a friend suggested it was too cold to put them outside , as of 3 weeks ago. Just remember....tea, coffee and biscuits go a long way to 'promoting' a healthy relationship regarding your 'mutual' needs. Hope this helps.
Indeed it does, thank you.

They look very nice.

With next season in mind.
Looking for a simplistic design for a cold frame, for somebody with little practical skills.
Thanks.

The short answer is no.
I have spent many hours in bird hides and often people will let you try their optics. I've tried the top end makes but they aren't say £1,000 better than my £599 Nikons and like earlier said how good is your eyesight.
If I was starting out now I would go Chinbin.

If only I could shoot like Dave Carrie.

Another big mistake of mine selling my 77. Full length, really looked nice. I even sold it for less than the going price.

My bird table is out in the front garden, its always busy with birds. I have fat balls hanging off either side of it to. My only problem at the moment is a Rat that i have caught a pic of on my stalker camera helping himself to a meal each night!
I had the same problem with rat issue, it turned into a family of the blighters.

It's a new one on me.
I remember being told the 9mm Sten was made from scrap metal.

My uncle who was RAF during the war always rated the Hurricane above the Spitfire.
I wasn't old enough to ask him why , just remember him saying.
Wish I could have that conversation now.

Mora it is then.

Not looking to live in the woods for a week or carve out a canoe and escape.
Just something reliable in the field and garden. Wooden handle preferred.
Thanks very much.

I have recently purchased a Laurona. Havn't done a lot with it but pleased with the quality. It's the model that has double triggers but can be used as single trigger.

Please expand on that figgy.

Aaaaaahhhh, the days when we youngster’s could buy knives and not be stabbing each other ( well, only accidentally when playing ‘chicken’ 🤣)
Or split the kipper.

Lovely to see.
I had a couple that are on the card.

This very old Nest knife has become my favourite.

One of the best I've seen was a gin welded in the open set position.
With the front door bell mounted on the trip plate.
