Old bedouin trick that , cools the head by convection . ( I've possibly just made that up though ) Some important advice in this thread though ... i was quite distressed one hard day years ago on a sweltering day which took me by surprise because i was mega fit . Had to go to the freezer section of a supermarket to cool myself down quickly which i'm sure was a timely act . Good to get the keks off aswell at breaktimes .

Would like to add that it wasnt the said implement here that they were using to hook on to the ship , the photo was just an example of its theoretical functionality .

I agree with Spud . I can remember fields covered with hundreds of lapwings and their really apparent demise . This was clearly happening when buzzards were relatively rare and i can never remember there being any great quantities of grey partridge either . It has already been proved bird of prey clutch size is related to available food source so i think it is a complete waste of money .

Thats been posted before . Al Baker knew what it was for . He even sent a pic of them using it to hook on to a big ship from a small vessel.

£40 + postage ? they do seem quite big for mediums ( probably why i dont wear them ) but they are there if you want
-
I have a pair in a medium , in new condition . Not what you asked for but ...

Be a pussy willow then

I would do both sides at the same time but thats just me . It will come good if it is a happy hedge
-
It looks well engineered for the price but no way would i replace my trangia for that
-
Will do Paul . I'll check that out

Its amazing , but if i have to be brutally honest the head is wrong for a springer . The last photo may be not doing it justice right enough .
-
No , you will end up with a much nicer hedge which can be properly maintained and much easier to future management PS . cut with sharp loppers ( sorry not meant to sound derrogatory )
-
Yeh , but it could take 20 mins to get it started ! I've seen bigger versions of this and it was a headache to get it started . I can only imagine a much smaller one would be a migraine to start efficiently
-
I'm not convinced by this at all . To get a good heat from a stove and especially to initially light it the dimensions would have to be bigger imo . Packaged size is only 8 inch by 5 . That would be fine for a petrol stove or meths one but i dont think would be suitable for biomass although i may well be wrong . There are similar ones which are a good deal bigger ( which also power fans ) that i think would be better for cold environments

Yeh replace it with a nice conforming little sorbus . Woohoo !!

Its not dead . Its very alive

There are a few ' hotspots ' up here . I was driving by one quite recently and saw a guy with a professional camera set up at the side of the road . I pulled over and got an amazing wildlife experience , a pair came so close i could see the tags on their wings
-
Aberdeen must be one of the best places to see them . Guaranteed sightings at certain places . They are very photogenic aswell because they dont mind coming in very close to humans ... beautiful birds
