That Series is partially why I bought a red 90 defender pickup I must admit. I am very jealous of the equipment Fred had.

Talking of steeple jacks, I just watched the programs about Fred Dibnah, he must have known some good knots!!

Welcome Jon, Good to see another person from the UK That's a smart looking truck for sure, as above, look forward to seeing your build and adventures also.

Oh don't tempt me! already have plans for a smiddy in action with hydraulic press and power hammer haha. hopefully start it this next few months.

Yeah ive forged out a few Damascus billets, usually 1095 and 15n20, takes a long time by hand though!

Blackntan, if you are ever passing mine, drop in by and we can forge out a blade no problem, goes for anyone else interested too.

I'm curious if anyone has used a RATS tourniquet and can tell me how well it works compared to a CAT? I'm hoping to carry one and an Israeli type bandage together in my pocket in my boiler suit at work, as we work with high pressure fittings and rotating machinery often so would like something...

Mine is @Stewart1803 Usually Pictures of my Landy, or the outdoors, occasional car or track day stuff.

Though not entirely related, I do a bit of blacksmithing/ bladesmithing when I have time. Ive made a few large tripods and hanging hooks etc for over fires for hanging pots etc,. and made fire pokers, candle holders etc. they pack down small and are good in the truck. Also made a few bladed...

I carry a Leatherman Wave (will get a new FREE series when they come out as I'm a gear nerd) and a Benchmade griptillian with me all the time almost (Laws in Scotland are awful in regards to blades). And a ESEE rat 4 in the woods always. A foil blanket, lighter and ferro rod all banded together...

So heres some of the photos, I also picked up a Noco GB40, and have used it to start up some vehicles and I'm very impressed so far. The ARB comp was installed behind the passenger seat and is easily accessible and out the way of dirt and such (as much as can be in a rattly old landy).

so productive day with Lola today. Got the Tmax split charge installed and managed to squeeze two full size battery into the 90 battery box, was very simple even for a backwoods blacksmith like myself I must say. also got the ARB compressor in place then got stuck at the switch end so will...

Yes its just like steel cut or Irish style. And Bannock is more like a sour dough bread, its traditionally made on a flat stone next to an open fire or rolled into a ball and stuck on a stick over the fire. I also think biscuits mean different things in the UK and in the US, ive seen a recipe...

I like to make bannock, and you can pretty much put anything in or on it to mix it up a bit, very simple too. Ingredients 3 cups flour (use half whole grain flour) 1 tsp salt 2 Tbsp baking powder 1/4 cup butter, melted 1 and 1/2 cups water Measure flour, salt, and baking powder into...

Could you do a write up on puncture wounds (Ive seen someone who fell on a stick whilst winching and penetrated the thigh) and perhaps larger bleed wounds like a chainsaw cut? Ive had some training in regards to these both in a medi training course as part of my Anti poaching unit, but its...

Here's my 92 200tdi (Lola). Galvanised chassis, full poly bushes, Warrior winch, Ventura roof tent. a few other bits and bobs.

Oh yeah not much will stop it, but I did get it bellied in some snow last year and that's where it stayed until the snow melted.

So I exchanged a few emails with the Scottish forestry folk, and they said no vehicles were allowed on any tracks going through the woods, and if found will be reported to the police, I argued that if they were not gated and connected two tarmac roads then its a right of way but they refused to...

Ordered the Ultimate pack on Friday, never received an email with number or codes though.
