I have a 5 year old GWP Lab cross. He's a good dog, trained to track deer using the Paul Michaels method, although I don't get out stalking anywhere near as much as I'd like these days. I'm having a few family issues at the moment and the dog is part of the problem. I'm really busy with work...

I have ordered one, ticks a lot of boxes for me. and when you look at the prices of hilux, amarock defender land cruiser etc its not that expensive..

The original VarTarg was designed with a tight chamber in the neck area, this means that brass has to be neck turned in order to fit properly. The idea is that the turned brass perfectly fits the chamber making the round more accurate. In reality though mine is very accurate with a little more...

7-08 ackley..

Given the likelihood of us being forced to go lead free at some point and the fact that lead free bullets are longer for any given bullet weight ther might be a case to be made for the swede which will come in a ‘long’ action, this will leave more room to seat longer copper and brass bullets...

It’s a Phormium. AKA New Zealand flax.

The problem with these ‘outrage’ mobs is that actually they are tiny. heres how it works; 2 or 3 activists write and complain to the offending organisation, then they start the social media campaign, if they are lucky / clever they get a newspaper to pick up the story, then the comments start...

Ive tried all sorts, fingerless, mitts, neoprene and ski gloves and I always come back to these which are what I wear for chainsaw work in the winter. They are cheap as chips, I just chuck em when they’re knackered and you can have two or 3 pairs on the go so if one gets wet stick em on the...

My suggestion to the OP is to talk to the forest manager / owner or agent, whoever you deal with. They desperately want the deer culled, and they don’t want to have to pay for it so it’s in their interest to help you make the numbers. Why not ask for a letter stating that you are ‘employed’ by...

Just wondered if anyone on here knows anything about old air brake systems? Specifically Those with a manual load valve. It’s quite an old trailer, possibly military..

Yes 170 miles worth of charge per hour. There appear to be 3 types of plug, one is universal but slower charging, then there's 2 DC fast charge types.

Very nice! How long did it take?

If what you say above is correct then NOW is the time to buy electric, not in 5-10 years when all the benefits are gone. As for the charging, I topped up at a local council charger today as I had some calls to make and emails to send. That particular one charged at 170mph, which is still pretty...

My understanding is that its just sale of NEW cars that are being stopped, existing vehicles will still be ok to use so you should be fine. I think diesel will be with us for may years to come, well after 2030 for sure...

There are no subsidies as such, just tax breaks and interest free loans. The real advantage is that electricity is way cheaper than fuel. No not at 80-90, but it’s still not bad. Just like regular card don’t get anywhere near the stated mileage if you drive fast on the motorway. It’s still...
