Sorry if my views dont tie in with yours, but thats just how I see it. Unless otherwise informed I think that people have 0 knowledge in whatever area. You soon learn whether or not they have, and move from there. Thats the way I was taught to work in business and it does me grand.

Not really!!

I only trust 2 people. One of them is me, and your not the other one, comes to mind. Again, seen/heard of too many stupid incidents of the GP buggering themselves to trust folk without experiencing them myself. The same for "tree men" too. Sam

Thats the brown stuff falling out of a cows arse. If you've worked in an office till you were 30, then decide they wanna farm/cut trees/keeper a shoot/put fences in etc. and they put their mind to it they'll do it. I've seen it happen enough times. I've always worked since I was 13 or so. I've done manual work on farms, stacking wood etc. Then when I was 15 I wised up. I had a constant supply of something people wanted. I had game. I set to work selling pheasants, rabbits, venison, partridge ducks and geese to the teachers, cleaners, dinner ladies and mates mums at school. Soon I realised that I was too cheap. £2 a pheasant from me, or £6 from the butcher. My Pheasants went up, £4 a bird. I stopped dressing and plucking them myself and instead bought them wholesale from a gamedealer friend dressed and cellophaned and on a plastic tray for £1 a bird. More people bought them because they looked more professional. I was selling £100 - £150 worth a week in the winter. Then I left school If you want to do it enough you will do it, even if it is just a sunday with the bird and some cash Sam

Is that as big as I imagine... have you got any pictures? Sam

As many as I'm told to. Sam

I want a tree-rex! Sam

Nice one mate (Y) I cant make it down, but have a great day! Hope you enjoy fartherhood Sam

:lol:

Looks like a really interesting place to work. What do you do there? Sam

The question, is more how we ever survived without knowing this priceless nugget of trivia Sam

Ill vouch for that, he didn't make it up! Depends on what your deer are as to how they browse though, havent got time for a proper reply, but I'll try later Sam

Womens Rights.

I bet its a brilliant musket mate. But by god its ugly! Sam

Smart bit of kit. Any pics of the tractor mate? Cheers, Sam

Could be decent for brashing too... Sam

No one tried them?? Bump

I do not buy fish. We haven't for a while now, but we can get away with that because we fish (and a lot of mates do to). My uncle is part time scallop diver, but doesn't sell them, and we are kept in all kinds of shellfish by him. If you want "fair" fish, and you live by the sea/are by the sea then go to the day boats (That you hire and go fishing on) and ask if they have anything. For a few quid (occasionally free) you can pick up some lovely fish. Failing that, buy a spinning rod Sam

Nah, don't do that mate. Reading your second post has made me feel a right dick. I shouldn't post when I've just come back from the pub - lesson learnt. Stay posting, your worth listening to. Apologies Sam

The very very small pocket axe made by LP of Gransfors Bruks. It would only be good for small kindling but is the perfect size for your lad Gransfors Mini Belt Hatchet - Greenman Bushcraft I started off with a similar sized Elwell at about 6 or 7, still use the same axe now. If you buy a GBA like that one your grandson will be able to learn with it. Worth every penny. Sam

I joined as I have long supported the fight against the EU when it comes to this 50% wasted! It's shamefull! Sam

What a small minded view. Pathetic.

Anyone used the above for climbing/general work? For some reason I fancy a pair having seen them on Jones's. Sam

The same reason yanks have AK47's or pistols... because they can. A lot of people find them very handy. I use a bag on my .243 that has fox calls, 3 rounds, a cleaning rag (for optics) and a Surefire torch in. That rifle is a foxing gun. Ready to go at any time, in fact I get get it, bolt and ammo out of their respective safes within 3 minutes. Thats fully ready no... "Ooo, where did I put that squeaker". Its handy because I get a few calls to the likes of "The fox is in with the lambs/chickens etc. come NOW". Not on a stalking rifle though. Sam

Are you in the USA Mike? Sam
