I have an IKEA bag for carrying roe back to the car. It was always difficult to pack it down to pocket size but recently I have been folding it and vacuum packing it which shrinks it right down - I vacuum pack after butchering anyway so popping the cleaned bag into a fresh one each time is no...

When you've mixed all the ingredients for ages and your forearms are burning (if you don't have a mixer) take a short break, cup of tea or whatever, and then mix again for at least as long as the first time. I also find the flavour is much better if the mix then sits, covered, in the fridge...

Not so much an interruption but an encounter: My permission closest to me is next to a well known prep school and the resident teachers had taken to walking around the farm, despite no footpaths. One in particular had a dog off the lead a lot of the time which messed a few things up but that's...

A Mora roeing knife (got mine from Monarch) is a useful addition and very cheap - makes the cuts for skinning a lot less likely to damage meat. https://www.monarchcountryproducts.co.uk/all-bladed-products-over-18-s-only/mora-roeing-bleeding-knife

The location and the activity is seasoning enough for that morsel!

Very good - easy to follow and lots of common sense. Her way of talking sounds so knowledgeable but really starightforward as well. I may be slightly in love!!

I think a certain Mr Ifor Williams may have had a hand in some of the distribution over the years.

Probably not

Sorry for resurrecting a slightly dorman thread and for the long post; I wrote to my MP on this issue - not complaining about the rise because I understand the need for full cost recovery, but did want to express a concern about whether the extra funds would be ringfenced for imporovements to...

That's such good advice - In my early days the number of times I looked directly at a buck's head at an odd angle when couched down and not worked out what I was looking at. The other for me has been to spend a huge amount of time unarmed learning all of my routes around the permissions -...

I have one of those and have used it a few times. Needs a really good scrub afterwards as the surface holds bits but fine for home butchering. I have a large beech slab for cutting on that goes on whatever table I'm using

Well done - nothing wrong at all with that IMO

My Mrs had terrible back pain for years, written off by the GP as getting older. Only when a new and way more energetic GP arrived did the Mrs go for a scan and a benign tumour (Ganglioma) was found in her lower spine that had pressed on her spinal cord and was growing which restricted the cord...

I have completed works and commissioning on a few telecoms towers over the years where the farmers specifically forbade any blackthorn in the hedge planting mix - a lot hate it. Where I live it's the traditional hedging plant and its a bugger - that's why I was so hacked off to get stuck when I...

Good advice - my brother on the West Coast of Ireland got a thorn through his wellington and into his big toe about 20 years ago and it still gives him some trouble.
